-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi spiped users,
I've just uploaded a tarball which may be (modulo version number update) spiped 1.6.1. Please test this -- even if all you have time to do is check that it compiles on your platform, that's better than nothing, but running 'make all test' and/or testing with live usage would be much better. You can download the spiped code at https://www.tarsnap.com/spiped/spiped-1.6.1a.tgz and the tarball has SHA256 hash 11690b81e68d8aa1997a17fd5fe6b692fcb9d1d2a2eba4bc7b3d78b5e32546b7 . You can also see the tree from which I rolled this almost-release at https://github.com/Tarsnap/spiped if you find it useful to crawl through VCS history. Significant changes since 1.6.0: * A new -u option instructs spiped to run as a different uid/gid. * RDRAND x86 CPU extensions (if available) are used as an additional source of entropy. (Note that they are only used as a *supplemental* source, and if the operating system provides strong entropy then it doesn't matter if RDRAND works.) * SHA x86 CPU extensions (if available) are used to speed up computations. Few CPUs support these yet. * spipe now prints a warning if it cannot connect to the target host. There are also a variety of less visible changes: Minor bug and compiler warning fixes, added and improved tests, minor performance improvements, and spelling and stylistic fixes. Assuming nobody finds any problems (or the problems are things I can fix quickly and easily) I'll roll the official spiped 1.6.1 release in early January. As always, Tarsnap bug bounties apply to issues found in spiped.
