Hi all,

A new release of the ocf-linux package is up:

http://ocf-linux.sourceforge.net/

Mostly Openswan updates/cleanups and fixes in this release.

* Well tested on 2.4.32 and 2.6.15 with OpenSwan.
* hold locks for less time which improves
the cryptosoft (software driver) interaction
with the system.
* fix cryptodev to handle CRIOGET requests when
application is chrooted.
* Bug fixes and improvements by Ronen Shitrit
md5/sha processing in cryptosoft
other typo/ordering problems in cryptosoft
more error reporting to make debugging easier.
* updated openswan patch for 2.4.5rc5
* openswan support no longer requires any other crypto
code (other than OCF) to be configured in.
* openswan code Q's state machine when in interrupt context
and calls immediately when not (previously compile time
determined)
* openssh uses OCF appropriately now if it supports required
algs
* updated ssl patch to openssl-0.9.8a
* no patch required for openssh anymore
* openssl md5/sha support by Ronen Shitrit

Cheers,
Davidm
