The Panama hash function has joined the list of broken hash functions. See 
http://radiogatun.noekeon.org/panama/index.html for more details.

Is anyone using the Panama hash function implementation in Crypto++? If not, 
I'd like to remove it in the next version, 5.5.

MD2 and MD4 are being kept in for the time being. Here are the changes so 
far for the next release:

5.5 - added VMAC
    - improved speed of AES and Whirlpool
      on CPUs with MMX instructions
    - improved speed of modular multiplication, SHA-512, Tiger, and Salsa20
      on CPUs with SSE2 instructions
    - optimized Camellia and added defense against timing attacks
    - updated benchmarks code to show cycles per byte and to time key setup
    - added support for OpenMP
    - enabled optimization flags in GNUmakefile
    - removed HAVAL, MD5-MAC, XMAC
