================================================================================
v2.16 Intel Intelligent Storage Acceleration Library Crypto Release Notes
================================================================================

================================================================================
RELEASE NOTE CONTENTS
================================================================================
1. KNOWN ISSUES
2. FIXED ISSUES
3. CHANGE LOG & FEATURES ADDED

================================================================================
1.  KNOWN ISSUES
================================================================================

* Perf tests do not run in Windows environment.

* 32-bit lib is not supported in Windows.

================================================================================
2. FIXED ISSUES
================================================================================
v2.14

* Building in unit directories is no longer supported removing the issue of
  leftover object files causing the top-level make build to fail.

v2.9

* Multi-buffer MD5 AVX2 tests fixed to work on FreeBSD 9.1 by explicitly aligning
  structures. 

v2.7

* Unit tests and examples are now supported in Windows environment


================================================================================
3. CHANGE LOG & FEATURES ADDED 
================================================================================
v2.16

* Split lib from non-crypto functions.


v2.15

* Multi-buffer hash updates.  New AVX512 versions for multi-buffer SHA1, SHA256,
  SHA512, MD5 and SHA1+murmur3_x64_128 stitched.

* Removes restrictions on AAD length in AES-GCM.  Previously AAD length was
  limited to a multiple of 4 bytes.  Now any AAD length is allowed.

* Nasm support.  ISA-L ported to build with nasm or yasm assembler.

* Windows DLL support.  Windows builds DLL by default.

* The older, deprecated multi-buffer API has been removed.

v2.14

* New multi-hash sha1 function and multi-hash sha1 + murmur3_x64_128 stitched.
  Multi-hash is designed to give the performance of multi-buffer cryptographic
  hashes with a synchronous single buffer interface.

* New AES-GCM and AES-CBC functions added.

* Autoconf and autotools build allows easier porting to additional systems.
  Previous make system still available to embedded users with Makefile.unx.

* The AES key expand functions that were used for AES-XTS with pre-expanded keys
  now expand the decrypt keys in a different order. The order that decrypt keys
  are stored and used by XTS_AES_128_dec_expanded_key() is reversed from
  previous versions to be compatable with CBC and GCM key expansion. The
  aes_keyexp_*() and XTS_AES_128_dec_expanded_key() functions should work the
  same when paired together.

* Includes update for building on Mac OS X/darwin systems. Add --target=darwin
  to ./configure step.

v2.10

* Added multi-buffer MD5 in the new hash API.  Includes multi-binary capability,
  no restriction on update length and other benefits of the CTX API.

v2.9

* New multi-buffer hash API.  The new API brings the following new features to
  multi-buffer hashes.  The older API is still included but may be deprecated in
  future releases.

  - Multibinary functionality.  Call one function and the appropriate
    architecture-specific version is fixed up at runtime.

  - No restriction on update length.  Submitting an update block no longer has
    to have length a multiple of the fundamental block size.

* New expanded key tests added for AES-XTS 128 and 256

v2.7

* New AVX2 versions for mb_md5 and mb_sha512 hashing code have been added.

v2.6

* Update buffer functionality added to mb_md5, mb_sha256 and mb_sha512 hashing
  code.  Requires API changes to current interface to specify job type and total
  length of hash.

* New AVX2 versions for mb_sha1 and mb_sha256 hashing code have been added.

v2.5

* New feature for multi-buffer SHA-1, update buffer.  mb_sha1 non-finalize jobs
  can now be submitted by setting flags in job structure.  Requires API changes
  to current interface to specify job type and total length of hash.

v2.4

* Added new multi-buffer SHA-512: mb_sha512.  SSE, AVX versions.

v2.3

* Added improved AES XTS versions.

v2.2

* Added new AVX versions of multi-buffer hashes
* Changed type in the interface struct for multi-buffer hashes
  the len field in the following structures :JOB_SHA1,JOB_MD5,
  JOB_SHA256 is now a 32-bit int.

v2.0

* Added AES XTS units aes_xts_128, aes_xts_256

v1.3 

* Added new multi-buffer units for SHA-256 and MD5: mb_sha256, mb_md5.
