Bouncy Castle Crypto Provider Package version 1.29 now available

Hi all,

Yet another release of the BC libraries.

     *	HMac-SHA384 and HMac-SHA512 were not IETF compliant. This has been fixed.
     *   The equals() method on ElGamalKeyParameters and DHKeyParameters in the
	lightweight API would sometimes return false when it should return true.
	This has been fixed.
     *	Parse error for OpenSSL style PEM encoded certificate requests in the
	PEMReader has been fixed.
     *	PGPPublicKey.getValidDays() now checks for the relevant signature for version
	4 and later keys as well as using the version 3 key valid days field.
     *	ISO9796 signatures for full recovered messsages could incorrectly verify
	for similar messages in some circumstances. This has been fixed.
     *	The occasional problem with decrypting PGP messages containing compressed
	streams now appears to be fixed.

     *	Support has been added for the OIDs and key generation required for
	HMac-SHA224, HMac-SHA256, HMac-SHA384, and HMac-SHA512.
     *	SignerInformation will used default implementation of message digest if
	signature provider doesn't support it.
     *	The provider and the lightweight API now support the GOST-28147-94 MAC algorithm.
     *	Headers are now settable for PGP armored output streams.

     *	The old versions of HMac-SHA384 and HMac-SHA512 can be invoked as
	OldHMacSHA384 and OldHMacSHA512, or by using the OldHMac class in the
	lightweight API.
