PyCrypto 2.1.0alpha2 has been released.  I'm going to push through a stable=
=20
release as soon as I can, since at this point I think all the major issues=
=20
have been resolved[*], and it's getting a bit ridiculous that it's taking=
=20
me longer to release a stable PyCrypto than it takes to release a stable=20
Debian.

You can get this alpha release via HTTP at:

   http://ftp.dlitz.net/pub/dlitz/crypto/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.1.0a2.tar.gz

sc

You can also get it from the git repository:

There has been a huge number of changes since the last stable release[**],=
=20
and not a lot of feedback so far, so I would really appreciate any feedback=
=20
even if it's just a simple oneliner like, "built on <OS> <ARCHITECTURE>;=20
used with <PROGRAM>; works fine."

The files for this release have the following SHA256 sums:
