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
