1.1     ! root        1: Changes to PGP 2.4:
        !             2: 
        !             3: - Fixed a bug with the -z <passphrase> option.  If no passphrase was given,
        !             4:   PGP used to crash.
        !             5: 
        !             6: - When using -c, the IV is generated properly now, and the randseed.bin
        !             7:   postwash is done.  (This bug could have resulted in the same ciphertext
        !             8:   being generated for the same plaintext, if the same passphrase is used.)
        !             9: 
        !            10: - Memory allocated with halloc() is now freed with hfree() in ztrees.c and
        !            11:   zdeflate.c.  (MS-DOS only.)
        !            12: 
        !            13: - The decompression code now detects end of input reliably, fixing a
        !            14:   bug that used to have it produce infinite amounts of output on come
        !            15:   corrputed input.  Decompression has also been sped up.
        !            16: 
        !            17: - PGP -m won't try to write its final output to the current directory.
        !            18:   This makes it less efficent if you want to save the text to a file, but
        !            19:   more secure if you don't.
        !            20: 
        !            21: - Number of bits allowed when generating keys limited to 1024, in line
        !            22:   with the limits in RSAREF and BSAFE.  It used to be higher, but
        !            23:   folks, if you think you need a key larger than that, do some research
        !            24:   into the complexity of factoring.
        !            25: 
        !            26: - Version number changed to pgp2.4
