PyCrypto v1.9.alpha1 Release Notes 

  •     * Added Crypto.Cipher.AES.

    * Added the CTR mode and the variable-sized CFB mode from the
      NIST standard on feedback modes. 

    * Removed Diamond, HAVAL, MD5, Sapphire, SHA, and Skipjack.  MD5
      and SHA are included with Python; the others are all of marginal
      usefulness in the real world.

    * Renamed the module-level constants ECB, CFB, &c., to MODE_ECB,
      MODE_CFB, as part of making the block encryption modules 
      compliant with PEP 272.  (I'm not sure about this change;
      if enough users complain about it, I might back it out.)

    * Made the hashing modules compliant with PEP 247 (not backward
      compatible -- the major changes are that the constructor is now 
      MD2.new and not MD2.MD2, and the size of the digest is now 
      given as 'digest_size', not 'digestsize'.

    * The Crypto.PublicKey package is no longer installed; the
      interfaces are all wrong, and I have no idea what the right
      interfaces should be.
