scrypt 1.3.2 released



Hi scrypt users,

I've just released scrypt 1.3.2.  You can download the scrypt code at
  http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt/scrypt-1.3.2.tgz
and the tarball has SHA256 hash
  d632c1193420ac6faebf9482e65e33d3a5664eccd643b09a509d21d1c1f29be2
which can also be found in the GPG-signed hash file at
  http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt/scrypt-sigs-1.3.2.asc
.  I've also tagged the source tree from which I rolled this release at
https://github.com/Tarsnap/scrypt/tree/1.3.2 .

Notable changes since 1.3.1:

* A strict-aliasing violation in non-SSE2 code (aka for non-x86 systems
and very very ancient x86 systems) is fixed; with gcc 11 and later, this
was causing a self-test failure.

* Runtime POSIX-violation checks are disabled when cross-compiling.

* Slightly improved performance on many x86 and ARM systems due to
using cryptographic CPU instructions (the scrypt key derivation itself
isn't affected, only the file encryption/decryption).

* Build fixes for OpenBSD and autoconf 2.70.
