Big things so far: - Blowfish crypt - MIPS dynamic linker - Major MIPS bug fixes - ARM hard float support Among the other improvements that are pending, what else would you like to see in 0.9.4? I know there's a pending bug fix for wcsstr (and perhaps the wcs* functions could use some checking in general). I have asm for memcpy on i386 and x86_64 which could be committed. It might also be desirable to get md5 and sha hash functions for crypt integrated if anybody can provide efficient ones under appropriate license. My understanding is that they're mainly for compatibility with existing password hashes and otherwise inferrior to blowfish, so I'd really like to focus on having them be small and unobtrusive at the expense of some speed. Other requests? Rich
