Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2017-ec11c67bd7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libsodium
Product : Fedora 25
Version : 1.0.13
Release : 1.fc25
URL :
http://libsodium.org/
Summary : The Sodium crypto library
Description :
Sodium is a new, easy-to-use software library for encryption, decryption,
signatures, password hashing and more. It is a portable, cross-compilable,
installable, packageable fork of NaCl, with a compatible API, and an extended
API to improve usability even further. Its goal is to provide all of the core
operations needed to build higher-level cryptographic tools. The design
choices emphasize security, and "magic constants" have clear rationales.
The same cannot be said of NIST curves, where the specific origins of certain
constants are not described by the standards. And despite the emphasis on
higher security, primitives are faster across-the-board than most
implementations of the NIST standards.

Update Information:
** Version 1.0.13** - Javascript: the sumo builds now include all symbols.
They were previously limited to symbols defined in minimal builds. - The public
`crypto_pwhash_argon2i_MEMLIMIT_MAX` constant was incorrectly defined on 32-bit
platforms. This has been fixed. - Version 1.0.12 didn't compile on OpenBSD/i386
using the base gcc compiler. This has been fixed. - The Android compilation
scripts have been updated for NDK r14b. - armv7s-optimized code was re-added to
iOS builds. - An AVX2 optimized implementation of the Argon2 round function was
added. - The Argon2id variant of Argon2 has been implemented. The high-level
`crypto_pwhash_str_verify()` function automatically detects the algorithm and
can verify both Argon2i and Argon2id hashed passwords. The default algorithm for
newly hashed passwords remains Argon2i in this version to avoid breaking
compatibility with verifiers running libsodium <= 1.0.12. - A
`crypto_box_curve25519xchacha20poly1305_seal*()` function set was implemented.
- scrypt was removed from minimal builds. - libsodium is now available on
NuGet.
