ANNOUNCE: Nettle-3.1.1

[Niels Möller]

I've made another release of GNU Nettle, a low-level
cryptographics library, to fix bugs reported for Nettle 3.1.

The Nettle home page can be found at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/, and the manual at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/nettle.html.

NEWS for the Nettle 3.1.1 release

        This release fixes a couple of non-critical bugs.

        Bug fixes:

        * By accident, nettle-3.1 disabled the assembly code for the
          secp_224r1 and secp_521r1 elliptic curves on all x86_64
          configurations, making signature operations on those curves
          10%-30% slower. This code is now re-enabled.

        * The x86_64 assembly implementation of gcm hashing has been
          fixed to work with the Sun/Oracle assembler.

        The shared library names are libnettle.so.6.1 and
        libhogweed.so.4.1, with sonames still libnettle.so.6 and
        libhogweed.so.4. It is intended to be fully binary compatible
        with nettle-3.1.
