+NEWS for the 1.11 release
+
+       Nettle no longer uses automake. Side effects:
+
+         * Dependency tracking is enabled only for gcc-3 (help with
+           supporting dependency tracking with other compilers is
+           appreciated).
+         
+         * Makefile compatibility with make programs other than GNU
+           make is mostly unknown, please report any problems.
+
+       Support for arctwo.
+
+       Fixes to the libdes compatibility code. Declarations should
+       now match openssl/libdes better. des_cbc_cksum pads
+       input with NUL's, if it's not an integral number of blocks (in
+       general, such unreversible padding is a bad idea).
+
+       By default, also the static library is compiled as position
+       independent code. This is needed on some systems to make it
+       possible to link nettle into a dynamically loaded module. Use
+       the configure flag --disable-pic if this is not desired.
+
+       Stricter constness typing for the sexp_iterator_assoc and
+       sexp_iterator_check_types arguments.
+
+       Speedup of arcfour on older x86 cpu:s, in particular PII and
+       PPro.
+
