+- Reworked image encryption support for Zephyr, static dummy key files
+  are no longer in the code, a pem file must be supplied to extract
+  the private and public keys. The Kconfig menu has changed to only
+  show a single option for enabling encryption and selecting the key
+  file.
+- Serial recovery can now read and handle encrypted seondary slot
+  partitions.
+- Serial recovery with MBEDTLS no longer has undefined operations which
+  led to usage faults when the secondary slot image was encrypted.
