Botan 1.6.3 and 1.7.1 Released
New versions of Botan have been released on the stable and development trees (1.6.3 and 1.7.1). The new stable release fixes a build problem encountered by some Visual Studio users in the memory allocator, as well as a race condition in the algorithm object cache. Upgrading is recommended, especially if Botan is being used in multithreaded code.

Botan 1.6.3 is due to be released shortly to resolve some build and link problems that have been plaguing some Visual Studio users. In the meantime a prerelease tarball has been made for testing and to ensure all the blocking problems with Visual Studio have been fixed. Interested users should test the build process and their applications.

Botan 1.6.1 has been released. The primary changes are a couple of bugfixes; several in the base64 decoder, and on in the BER decoding classes; this bug only occurred under compilers which do not implement named return value optimization (NVRO), which seems to include at least some versions of Visual Studio 2005.
There are a couple of very small new features; a new option to the base64 encoder which specifies that a trailing newline should always be appended, and another change which increases the maximum keylength of RC4 to 256 bytes. Both of these changes were made to support Monotone.
