[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: libgcrypt-1.4.1-1


Version 1.4.1-1 of "libgcrypt" has been uploaded.

Libgcrypt is a general purpose crypto library based on the code used in GnuPG.

What's New
===========
 * Fixed a bug introduced by 1.3.1 which led to the comsumption of far
   too much entropy for the intial seeding.

 * Improved AES performance for CFB and CBC modes.

 * Removed build problems for the Padlock support.


Cygwin Port Notes:
==================
* libgcrypt does not use /dev/random anymore but the builtin entropy gatherer
  for W32 (rndw32.c). Possible security issue, see:
