Yeah, in your case you want the non-buggy Solaris gear in Master.

We likely won't be changing header names. You will need to find a local 
workaround.

We can probably release in a couple of days. We've added another 6 or 8 
algorithms and fixed those Solaris bugs. Now would be a good time for a 
point release to 7.1. The wrinkle is, the ABI broke when adding 
AlgorithmProvider() so we need to bump to 8.0. For an 8.0 release I wanted 
more in it. But like I said, we can release with less considering we've got 
some [overdue] bug fixes you need.
