scrypt 1.3.0 released



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi scrypt users,

I've just released scrypt 1.3.0.  You can download the scrypt code at
  http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt/scrypt-1.3.0.tgz
and the tarball has SHA256 hash
  263034edd4d1e117d4051d9a9260c74dedb0efaf4491c5152b738978b3f32748
which can also be found in the GPG-signed hash file at
  http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt/scrypt-sigs-1.3.0.asc
.  I've also tagged the source tree from which I rolled this release at
https://github.com/Tarsnap/scrypt/tree/1.3.0 .

Significant changes since 1.2.1:
* In addition to the scrypt command-line utility, a library "libscrypt-kdf"
  can now be built and installed by passing the --enable-libscrypt-kdf option
  to configure.
* On x86 CPUs which support them, RDRAND and SHA extensions are used to
  provide supplemental entropy and speed up hash computations respectively.
* When estimating the amount of available RAM, scrypt ignores RLIMIT_DATA on
  systems which have mmap.
* A new command "scrypt info encfile" prints information about an encrypted
  file without decrypting it.
