+
+* Version 0.6.1
+ - Important bug fix: when crypto_sign_open() was given a signed
+message too short to even contain a signature, it was putting an
+unlimited amount of zeros into the target buffer instead of
+immediately returning -1. The bug was introduced in version 0.5.0.
+ - New API: crypto_sign_detached() and crypto_sign_verify_detached()
+to produce and verify ed25519 signatures without having to duplicate
+the message.
+ - New ./configure switch: --enable-minimal, to create a smaller
+library, with only the functions required for the high-level API.
+Mainly useful for the JavaScript target and embedded systems.
+ - All the symbols are now exported by the Emscripten build script.
+ - The pkg-config .pc file is now always installed even if the
+pkg-config tool is not available during the installation.
+
+* Version 0.6.0
+ - The ChaCha20 stream cipher has been added, as crypto_stream_chacha20_*
+ - The ChaCha20Poly1305 AEAD construction has been implemented, as
+crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_*
+ - The _easy API does not require any heap allocations any more and
+does not have any overhead over the NaCl API. With the password
+hashing function being an obvious exception, the library doesn't
+allocate and will not allocate heap memory ever.
+ - crypto_box and crypto_secretbox have a new _detached API to store
+the authentication tag and the encrypted message separately.
+ - crypto_pwhash_scryptxsalsa208sha256*() functions have been renamed
+crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256*().
+ - The low-level crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_ll() function
+allows setting individual parameters of the scrypt function.
+ - New macros and functions for recommended crypto_pwhash_* parameters
+have been added.
+ - Similarly to crypto_sign_seed_keypair(), crypto_box_seed_keypair()
+has been introduced to deterministically generate a key pair from a seed.
+ - crypto_onetimeauth() now provides a streaming interface.
+ - crypto_stream_chacha20_xor_ic() and crypto_stream_salsa20_xor_ic()
+have been added to use a non-zero initial block counter.
+ - On Windows, CryptGenRandom() was replaced by RtlGenRandom(), which
+doesn't require the Crypt API.
+ - The high bit in curve25519 is masked instead of processing the key as
+a 256-bit value.
+ - The curve25519 ref implementation was replaced by the latest ref10
+implementation from Supercop.
+ - sodium_mlock() now prevents memory from being included in coredumps
+on Linux 3.4+
+
+* Version 0.5.0
+ - sodium_mlock()/sodium_munlock() have been introduced to lock pages
+in memory before storing sensitive data, and to zero them before
+unlocking them.
+ - High-level wrappers for crypto_box and crypto_secretbox
+(crypto_box_easy and crypto_secretbox_easy) can be used to avoid
+dealing with the specific memory layout regular functions depend on.
+ - crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256* functions have been added
+to derive a key from a password, and for password storage.
+ - Salsa20 and ed25519 implementations now support overlapping
+inputs/keys/outputs (changes imported from supercop-20140505).
+ - New build scripts for Visual Studio, Emscripten, different Android
+architectures and msys2 are available.
+ - The poly1305-53 implementation has been replaced with Floodyberry's
+poly1305-donna32 and poly1305-donna64 implementations.
+ - sodium_hex2bin() has been added to complement sodium_bin2hex().
+ - On OpenBSD and Bitrig, arc4random() is used instead of reading
+/dev/urandom.
+ - crypto_auth_hmac_sha512() has been implemented.
+ - sha256 and sha512 now have a streaming interface.
+ - hmacsha256, hmacsha512 and hmacsha512256 now support keys of
+arbitrary length, and have a streaming interface.
+ - crypto_verify_64() has been implemented.
+ - first-class Visual Studio build system, thanks to @evoskuil
+ - CPU features are now detected at runtime.
+
+* Version 0.4.5
+ - Restore compatibility with OSX <= 10.6
+
+* Version 0.4.4
+ - Visual Studio is officially supported (VC 2010 & VC 2013)
+ - mingw64 is now supported
+ - big-endian architectures are now supported as well
+ - The donna_c64 implementation of curve25519_donna_c64 now handles
+non-canonical points like the ref implementation
+ - Missing scalarmult_curve25519 and stream_salsa20 constants are now exported
+ - A crypto_onetimeauth_poly1305_ref() wrapper has been added
+
+* Version 0.4.3
+ - crypto_sign_seedbytes() and crypto_sign_SEEDBYTES were added.
+ - crypto_onetimeauth_poly1305_implementation_name() was added.
+ - poly1305-ref has been replaced by a faster implementation,
+Floodyberry's poly1305-donna-unrolled.
+ - Stackmarkings have been added to assembly code, for Hardened Gentoo.
+ - pkg-config can now be used in order to retrieve compilations flags for
+using libsodium.
+ - crypto_stream_aes256estream_*() can now deal with unaligned input
+on platforms that require word alignment.
+ - portability improvements.
+
+* Version 0.4.2
+ - All NaCl constants are now also exposed as functions.
+ - The Android and iOS cross-compilation script have been improved.
+ - libsodium can now be cross-compiled to Windows from Linux.
+ - libsodium can now be compiled with emscripten.
+ - New convenience function (prototyped in utils.h): sodium_bin2hex().
+
+* Version 0.4.1
+ - sodium_version_*() functions were not exported in version 0.4. They
+are now visible as intended.
+ - sodium_init() now calls randombytes_stir().
+ - optimized assembly version of salsa20 is now used on amd64.
+ - further cleanups and enhanced compatibility with non-C99 compilers.
+
+* Version 0.4
+ - Most constants and operations are now available as actual functions
+instead of macros, making it easier to use from other languages.
+ - New operation: crypto_generichash, featuring a variable key size, a
+variable output size, and a streaming API. Currently implemented using
+Blake2b.
+ - The package can be compiled in a separate directory.
+ - aes128ctr functions are exported.
+ - Optimized versions of curve25519 (curve25519_donna_c64), poly1305
+(poly1305_53) and ed25519 (ed25519_ref10) are available. Optionally calling
+sodium_init() once before using the library makes it pick the fastest
+implementation.
+ - New convenience function: sodium_memzero() in order to securely
+wipe a memory area.
+ - A whole bunch of cleanups and portability enhancements.
+ - On Windows, a .REF file is generated along with the shared library,
+for use with Visual Studio. The installation path for these has become
+$prefix/bin as expected by MingW.
+
+* Version 0.3
+ - The crypto_shorthash operation has been added, implemented using
+SipHash-2-4.
+
+* Version 0.2
+ - crypto_sign_seed_keypair() has been added
+
+* Version 0.1
+ - Initial release.
