I am not going to review this version as others are on top of this. It looks reasonable to me. We do need to tidy up the hashing in common/hash.c at some point but this series doesn't add to the pain there. I do worry about the size growth, though. Do we want/need the mbed algorithms? Why are they so large? Regards, Simon
