I'm sorry I probably was not clear enough (I also live in a nothern hemisphere). Old ccgost engine reimplemented lots of things (like curve enumeration, etc). I'd like to merge curve handling back to main EC code (as much as differences allow that - at least curves are similar) and have GOST contain only parts that differ from main ECC. -- With best wishes Dmitry
