Kea supports two crypto libraries: Botan and OpenSSL. Only one of them
is required to be installed during compilation. Kea uses the Botan
crypto library for C++ (<uri xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://botan.randombit.net/">http://botan.randombit.net/</uri>),
- version 1.9 or later. As an alternative to Botan, Kea can use the
+ version 1.9 or later. Note that support for Botan versions earlier than 2.0 will be dropped in Kea 1.6.0 release. As an alternative to Botan, Kea can use the
OpenSSL crypto library (<uri xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://www.openssl.org/">http://www.openssl.org/</uri>),
- version 1.0.1 or later.
+ version 1.0.2 or later.
