 NEWS for the 2.3 release
 
-       Misc:
+       * Support for the ripemd-160 hash function.
+
+       * Generates and installs nettle.pc and hogweed.pc files, for
+          use with pkg-config. Feedback appreciated. For projects
+          using autoconf, the traditional non-pkg-config ways of
+          detecting libraries, and setting LIBS and LDFLAGS, is still
+          recommended.
+
+       * Fixed a bug which made the testsuite fail in the GCM test on
+         certain platforms. Should not affect any documented features
+         of the library.
+
+       * Reorganization of the code for the various Merkle-Damgård
+         hash functions. Some fields in the context structs for md4,
+         md5 and sha1 have been renamed, for consistency.
+         Applications should not peek inside these structs, and the
+         ABI is unchanged.
+         
+       * In the manual, fixed mis-placed const in certain function
+          prototypes.
 
-       * In the context struct sha1_ctx renamed the attribute
-         "digest" to "state". Applications should not peek inside
-         this struct, and the ABI is unchanged.
+       The library is intended to be binary compatible with
+       nettle-2.2. The shared library names are libnettle.so.4.2 and
+       libhogweed.so.2.1, with sonames still libnettle.so.4 and
+       libhogweed.so.2.
