-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi scrypt users and tarsnap alphatesters,
I've just uploaded a tarball which may be (modulo version number update) release 1.3.0 of my scrypt file encryption utility. This changes a few things since the "1.2.99" tarball I announced here about six weeks ago: * When estimating the amount of available RAM, scrypt no longer considers the RLIMIT_DATA value on systems which have mmap. RLIMIT_DATA represents a limit on the memory available via sbrk, which was historically used by malloc, and as such used to be a reasonable indication of the amount of available memory; but newer systems have stopped using sbrk and have values of RLIMIT_DATA which are no longer meaningful. * A new command "scrypt info encfile" prints information about an encrypted file without decrypting it. You can download the scrypt code at https://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt/scrypt-1.2.99.1.tgz and the tarball has SHA256 hash 371d885c41e4d50c6865e752baa8a9b8dbe87223e5589fceb80d36d4ffe32e22 . You can also see the tree from which I rolled this almost-release at https://github.com/Tarsnap/scrypt if you find it useful to crawl through VCS history. Assuming nobody yells (or the yells are things I can fix quickly and easily) I'll roll the official scrypt 1.3.0 release some time around the end of this month. - -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EARECAB0WIQTq9Iu6fMd6MP78Dak4zsppDGpqbgUCXV38VQAKCRA4zsppDGpq bt3EAKCZN94pjiMtTNB+Llcjh2TI2kqZNgCffOG/C5L7LhtJJDgox15SkaIrcVI= =BPdJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
