• Stable

Release Notes: Support for the "$2y$" prefix (denoting correctly computed hashes) has been added. A countermeasure to avoid one-correct to many-buggy collisions with the "$2a$" prefix has been added (which is desirable when upgrading systems with existing "$2a$" hashes computed using pre-1.1 versions of crypt_blowfish). The "make check" tests and the runtime quick self-test have been improved. A patch for glibc 2.13 and 2.14 has been added. The documentation has been updated.

Release Notes: The check for unsupported iteration counts has been corrected to reject certain iteration counts that would previously be misinterpreted. Section .note.GNU-stack has been added to the x86 assembly file to avoid the stack area unnecessarily being made executable on Linux systems that use this convention.
