• Applied sematic versioning

Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.2.1

Actual beta release of afalg_engine v1.2.0

The 1.2.0-beta tag was a no-op, so this is it for real now.
This is a performance-oriented version that brings out a software fallback mechanism to process smaller request in software, to avoid the latency of using the kernel drivers, while sending larger request to the hardware engine, ensuring the best speed.

• Use software as a fallback when en/decrypting small batches, or when the total length of the digest input is small
• Update CTR-mode counter using 64-bit integers
• Disable building digests by default
• Fix context copying, which was broken for digests and ciphers

afalg_engine v1.1.0

Check out what's new:

• Speed up updates by setting IV and key during initialization
• Speed up initialization by querying driver info only when DUMP_INFO is called
• Enforce use of accelerated drivers in algo init, when USE_SOFTDRIVERS == 0
• Allow compilation without crypto_user information
• Let the kernel drivers handle CBC IV updates
• Add option to let kernel handle CTR IV updates. Not all drivers do this
• This version is up to 20% faster than 1.0.1

Bugfix release

Changelog

• Fixed a bug that would not recognize setting CIPHERS=NO_ECB. Thanks to @neheb for pointing it out.

First Release
