NEWS for the Nettle 3.10 release

This is a maintenance release, including a few each of bug fixes, new features and optimizations.

The new version is intended to be fully source and binary compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are libnettle.so.8.9 and libhogweed.so.6.9, with sonames libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6.

Bug fixes:

• Add missing hash functions sha512_224 and sha512_256 to the nettle_get_hashes() list. The name values in the corresponding nettle_hash structs also changed to use underscore instead of dash, for consistency.

• Fix a few cases of formally undefined calls to memcpy(dst, NULL, 0), resulting from valid calls to, e.g., sha256_update(ctx, 0, NULL).

New features:

• Support RSA-OAEP encryption. Contributed by Nicolas Mora and Daiki Ueno.

• New function sha3_256_shake_output, new functions sha3_128_init, sha3_128_update, sha3_128_shake, sha3_128_shake_output. Contributed by Daiki Ueno.

• Added DRBG-CTR with AES256, contributed by Simon Josefsson.

Optimizations:

• New combined gcm-aes assembly for powerpc64, contributed by Danny Tsen.

• New sha256 assembly for powerpc64, contributed by Eric Richter.

• Improved performance for powerpc64 AES decrypt, by skipping subkey transformations that don't suit the vncipher instructions.

• Add arm64 CPU feature detection for Android and for Apple systems, contributed by Foolbar and Tim Kosse, prespectively.

Miscellaneous:

• New tests for side-channel silence, based on valgrind.

• Delete all md5 assembly code. Delete all sparc32 assembly code.
