 NEWS for the 2.2 release
 
+       Licensing change:
+       
        * Relicensed as LGPL v2.1 or later.
 
+       * Replaced blowfish and serpent implementation. New code is
+          based on the LGPLed code in libgcrypt.
+
+       New features:
+
        * Support for Galois/Counter Mode (GCM).
+
+       * New interface for enumerating (most) available algorithms,
+         contributed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor.
+
+       * New tool nettle-hash. Can generate hash digests using any
+         supported hash function, with output compatible to programs
+         like md5sum. Checking (like md5sum -c) not yet implemented.
+
+       Bug fixes:
+
+       * The old serpent code had a byte order bug (introduced by
+         yours truly about ten years ago). New serpent implementation
+         does not interoperate with earlier versions of nettle.
+
+       * Fixed ABI-dependent libdir default for linux-based systems
+         which do not follow the conventions Linux File Hierarchy
+         Standard, e.g., Debian GNU/linux.
+
+       Optimizations:
        
+       * x86_64 implemention of serpent_encrypt (serpent_decrypt not
+          yet done).
+
+       * x86_64 implemention of camellia.
+
        * Faster memxor.
 
+       Miscellaneous:
+
        * In command line tools, don't use -? for requesting help,
           since it's a bit dangerous without shell quoting. Use long
           option --help instead.
 
-       * Interface cleanup. 
-       
+       The shared library names are libnettle.so.4.1 and
+       libhogweed.so.2.1, with sonames libnettle.so.4 and
+       libhogweed.so.2.
