Release 2.0.0
=============
* This release consolidates the various versions of md5 that have
been floating around, including versions with Lispworks
optimizations, the version maintained by Kevin M. Rosenberg, the
SBCL-optimized version, and various patches and fixes.
* This release tries to separate out string-handling from actual
byte-based MD5 hash generation. Hence users who want to generate
hashes from strings should use the new md5sum-string function,
which will go through your implementation's external-format
handling to generate the actual byte-array that is hashed. Usage
of md5sum-sequence for strings and md5sum-stream for character
streams is deprecated, since it only ever worked correctly for 8bit
characters in most implementations.
* This release should work correctly on at least CMUCL, SBCL, ECL,
CCL, Lispworks, AllegroCL and ABCL and generally most other
conforming implementations. It has been optimized for CMUCL, SBCL
and Lispworks, and should work with adequate performance on most
64bit implementations. Performance on other 32bit implementations
is still sub-optimal if they don't support unboxed bit-operations
on (unsigned-byte 32).
