I retired + several years ago, and haveged is no longer under active development. This release only + attempts to collect and document the downstream reports I have received. + +v1.9.1 (Feb 11, 2014) + Documentation and sample file touch-up for v1.9. + +v1.9 (Feb 10, 2014) + + A Fedora bugzilla request was received to harden the haveged build. Since haveged has + traditionally been fussy with compiler options, Jirka Hladky set up a large scale test + using using TestU01's BigCrush and PractRand. A normally harmless bug inadvertently sent + the 8TB data sets through the haveged run-time continuous test. This accident revealed + many problems with the run-time test implementation, including incorrect test defaults + based on app/daemon selection, broken dead man limit in test procedure B, broken retry + logic, and implementation bugs in both test procedure A and B. Attempting to diagnose + these problems also revealed the injection feature of the diagnostic build was also + broken. + + Once the injection facility was fixed, an independent implementation of the AIS reference + for procedure B was used to verify the haveged implementation down to bit level. Portions + of the run-time test suite were rewritten to correct defects and improve performance of the + run-time test suite in PIE builds. The procedure A tests were rewritten to remove the need + to overlap the previous test to attain byte alignment - all test procedures are now bit + oriented. Unrelated changes included in the release include adding a quick version check + for libhavege use, many small improvements to diagnostics, and more cleanup man pages, + sample files, and other documentation. + + Special thanks to Jirka Hladky for help in sorting out the procedure B bugs, verifying + the haveged RNG is statistically comparable to RDRAND, and the first formal testing of + haveged on ARM. + +v1.8 (Jan 02, 2014) + + Fix return code for signaled termination. Update init.d/service.fedora to use new + return code and simple service type. Add --enable_unitdir as DESTDIR for systemd + install. Cleanup documentation and man file. + +v1.7c (Jun 08, 2013) + + Additional fix for run-time test alignment problems on mips. + +v1.7b (Jun 06, 2013) + + Fix run-time test alignment problems on sparc and mips. Fix ppc detection in build. + +v1.7a (Feb 13, 2013) + + Fix broken parallel builds - fix LDADD problem in build, VPATH problems in check targets. + Move to check-local for check target to work with automake v1.13 but retain backward + compatibility. Modify build to make tuning component optional in build. Improve sample + spec file and docs. + +v1.7 (Jan 15, 2013) + + The build has been restructured to provide a devel package. This introduces a new libtool + dependency. The new contrib/build/build.sh script is intended to toggle this requirement + as well as providing a bootstrap to recover from automake mismatches. The script will also + build and run devel sample code for those interested in using the devel package. + + Other build related changes include updating AC_PREQ to a more reasonable, 2.59 and changing + the build option for init scripts to default to --enable-init=none. The format of the + haveged diagnostic display has changed to provided more information and the output is now + displayed after output is generated in the non-daemon case. |
