A minor bugfix release for Botan's stable tree has been released. The only changes in 1.6.5 compared to 1.6.4 are a small build problem affecting users of GCC 4.2 and 4.3, and setting the noexec stack flag in the assembly code for x86 and x86-64 ELF systems (this had been a requested feature by several packagers, including SuSE and Gentoo).
A new development release, 1.7.9, is also out, with several fixes for Windows builds (MinGW and Visual Studio C++ 2008, tested on Windows XP), a small optimization to the Shanks-Tonelli implementation, and noexec stack flags in the assembly code for ELF systems using the GNU linker.
