+Cryptsetup 1.6.3 Release Notes
+==============================
+
+Changes since version 1.6.2
+
+* Fix cryptsetup reencryption tool to work properly
+ with devices using 4kB sectors.
+
+* Always use page size if running through loop device,
+ this fixes failures for external LUKS header and
+ filesystem requiring 4kB block size.
+
+* Fix TCRYPT system encryption mapping for multiple partitions.
+ Since this commit, one can use partition directly as device parameter.
+ If you need to activate such partition from image in file,
+ please first use map partitioned loop device (losetup -P)
+ on image.
+ (Cryptsetup require partition offsets visible in kernel sysfs
+ in this mode.)
+
+* Support activation of old TrueCrypt containers using CBC mode
+ and whitening (created in TrueCrypt version < 4.1).
+ This requires Linux kernel 3.13 or later.
+ (Containers with cascade CBC ciphers are not supported.)
+
+* Properly display keys in dump --dump-master-key command
+ for TrueCrypt CBC containers.
+
+* Rewrite cipher benchmark loop which was unreliable
+ on very fast machines.
+
+* Add warning if LUKS device was activated using non-cryptsetup
+ library which did not set UUID properly (e.g. cryptmount).
+ (Some commands, like luksSuspend, are not available then.)
+
+* Support length limitation also for plain (no hash) length.
+ This can be used for mapping problematic cryptosystems which
+ wipes some key (losetup sometimes set last 32 byte to zero,
+ which can be now configured as --hash plain:31 parameter).
+
+* Fix hash limit if parameter is not a number.
+ (The whole key was set to zero instead of command failure.)
+
+* Unify --key-slot behavior in cryptsetup_reencrypt tool.
+
+* Update dracut example scripts for system reencryption on first boot.
+
+* Add command line option --tcrypt-backup to access TCRYPT backup header.
+
+* Fix static compilation with OpenSSL.
