- * A few new functions to improve support the Chacha variant
- with 96-bit nonce and 32-bit block counter (the existing
- functions use nonce and counter of 64-bit each), and
- functions to set the counter. Contributed by Daiki Ueno.

Bug fixes:
* Fix configure check for __builtin_bswap64, the incorrect

* All use of old-fashioned suffix rules in the Makefiles have

The libhogweed.so library was also intended to be fully binary
compatible with nettle-3.5. However, the major version and the
soname are incremented anyway, to avoid upgrade problems with
- recent Gnutls versions that depend on Nettle internals outside
+ recent GnuTLS versions that depend on Nettle internals outside
of the advertised ABI.
