Version 1.4.1-1 of "libgcrypt" has been uploaded.
Libgcrypt is a general purpose crypto library based on the code used in GnuPG.
What's New
===========
* Fixed a bug introduced by 1.3.1 which led to the comsumption of far
too much entropy for the intial seeding.
* Improved AES performance for CFB and CBC modes.
* Removed build problems for the Padlock support.
Cygwin Port Notes:
==================
* libgcrypt does not use /dev/random anymore but the builtin entropy gatherer
for W32 (rndw32.c). Possible security issue, see:
