Hi!

Due to an error in the configuration system, the previous release had
some problems.  This has has been fixed and a new version is available
at:

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/cryptplug/cryptplug-0.3.15.tar.gz (213k)
 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/cryptplug/cryptplug-0.3.15.tar.gz.sig

or

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/cryptplug/cryptplug-0.3.14-0.3.15.diff.gz (4k) 

Note that we now use an extra directory and don't throw it anymore
into the aegypten directory.

There is one change:

  /* Return the current interface version.  This is a simple way for a
     user to check whether all required functions are available.  If
     MIN_VERSION is not NULL the lowest supported version of the
     interface is returned in addition.
  
     The version is a positive integer.  A user should check for the
     existance of this function before using it; if the fucntion does
     not exist, a interface version of 0 should be assumed.
  
     This function may be called prior to initialize().
    */
  int interfaceVersion (int *min_version); 
  
It is suggested that implementations make use of this new feature, so
that they can gracefully fail if a user tries to load a future version
of the plugin without support for the current interface. 


Salam-Shalom,
