Apologies for getting carried away and uploading straight to sid earlier. I'm
not used to having so many reverse dependencies...
Here's the NEWS for the Nettle 3.5 release from upstream:
This release adds a couple of new features and optimizations,
and deletes or deprecates a few obsolete features. It is *not*
binary (ABI) compatible with earlier versions. Except for
deprecations listed below, it is intended to be fully
source-level (API) compatible with Nettle-3.4.1.
The shared library names are libnettle.so.7.0 and
libhogweed.so.5.0, with sonames libnettle.so.7 and
libhogweed.so.5.
[...]
Deleted features:
* The header file des-compat.h and everything declared therein
has been deleted, as announced earlier. This file provided a
subset of the old libdes/ssleay/openssl interface for DES
and triple-DES. DES is still supported, via the functions
declared in des.h.
* Functions using the old struct aes_ctx have been marked as
deprecated. Use the fixed key size interface instead, e.g.,
struct aes256_ctx, introduced in Nettle-3.0.
* The header file nettle-stdint.h, and corresponding autoconf
tests, have been deleted. Nettle now requires that the
compiler/libc provides <stdint.h>.
Miscellaneous:
* Support for big-endian ARM systems, contributed by Michael
Weiser.
* The programs aesdata, desdata, twofishdata, shadata and
gcmdata are no longer built by default. Makefile
improvements contributed by Jay Foad.
* The "example" program examples/eratosthenes.c has been
deleted.
* The contents of hash context structs, and the deprecated
aes_ctx struct, have been reorganized, to enable later
optimizations.
The shared library names are libnettle.so.7.0 and
libhogweed.so.5.0.
I've tried building all reverse dependencies with the new version and found the
following packages needing changes:
dnsmasq (bug filed, simple fix)
unbound (bug filed, simple fix)
rdup (bug filed, a bit more involved fix)
A few other packages FTBFS for other reasons: ocamlnet, libstorj (bug filed),
lsh-utils (mine, fails tests)
