[python-crypto] ANN: PyCrypto 2.2 released

[Dwayne C. Litzenberger]

PyCrypto 2.2 has been released.

This release remains compatible with Python 2.1 through 2.6.  (Python 
3.x is not yet supported.)  A C99 compiler may be required.

You can download this release from http://www.pycrypto.org/, you can ask 
for it in the cheeseshop, and it has the following SHA256 sums:

9219449bc85ab4f4ff61fc83b0cbe0ec23d46943caab3d5413c6ba52da6f922c *pycrypto-2.2.tar.gz
0168719105999133374f995bdc9fa6a1be2de65b2ae359eb8e5ef9f433f66af5 *pycrypto-2.2.tar.gz.asc

Please test it and post your experiences to the PyCrypto mailing list:

     pycrypto at lists.dlitz.net

and/or file bug reports on Launchpad:

     https://bugs.launchpad.net/pycrypto

Here is the changelog:

   - Deprecated Crypto.Util.number.getRandomNumber(), which had confusing
     semantics.  It's been replaced by getRandomNBitInteger and
     getRandomInteger.  (Thanks: Lorenz Quack)

   - Better isPrime() and getPrime() implementations that do a real
     Rabin-Miller probabilistic primality test (not the phony test we did
     before with fixed bases).  (Thanks: Lorenz Quack)

   - getStrongPrime() implementation for generating RSA primes.
     (Thanks: Lorenz Quack)

   - Support for importing and exporting RSA keys in DER and PEM format.
     (Thanks: Legrandin)

   - Fix PyCrypto when floor division (python -Qnew) is enabled.

   - When building using gcc, use -std=c99 for compilation.  This should
     fix building on FreeBSD and NetBSD.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this release possible!

Cheers,
- Dwayne
