Version 4 (August 2, 2012): * Add RDRAND instruction support * Add -q and -v options for quiet and verbose output * Add -p option for specifying PID file (text file containing daemon's PID) * Disable entropy source if facing continued failures, but be tolerant of the occasional fault. * Default device is now the preferred /dev/hwrng * Do not use TPM device for RNG access, if /dev/hwrng is present (TPM RNG is exported via the kernel, in newer kernels) Version 3 (July 3, 2010): * add rngtest program * imported into git repository * support TPM chip's hardware RNG (and thus, a framework for supporting multiple entropy sources) * change default hardware RNG device name to "/dev/hw_random" Version 2 (August 24, 2004): * Fixes and cleanups from Debian (Henrique de Moraes Holschuh) Assures rngd works with 2.6 kernels. Version 1.1 (April 6, 2004): * update to recent autoconf/automake * add new rngtest program * various minor cleanups * much better FIPS testing
