April’s bugfix release.

Breaking Changes

  • Due to hardware unavailability, we have stopped building the macOS X86 (Intel CPU) package;
  • Due to hardware limitations, we have stopped building SSE2 binaries (only on Linux for now).

Bugfixes

  • Some random bugfixes here and there.

Improvements

  • Add arm64 Docker image (with NVIDIA GPU support);
  • Add new formats and/or implementations;
    • Armory wallet, Keplr wallet, Argon2 OpenCL.
  • *2john improvements;
    • Add a modern version of pdf2john (.py; Python 3).
  • Improve OpenCL detection;
    • Start using dynamic OpenCL binding (dynamically load OpenCL library);
    • Add Khronos Group OpenCL header files (use this local copy of the OpenCL headers);

  • Minor documentations tweaks.

Binaries Available

  • Docker (for X86_64 and aarch64) with NVIDIA GPU support (via OpenCL);
  • Flatpak;
    • bundle (for X86_64);
    • via FlatHub (for X86_64 and aarch64).

Release Notes for Previous Versions

Monitoring and Controlling Phase

All the features we were interested in implementing were implemented. We consider it done!

Therefore, the repository now enters a frozen stage. Nothing new will be developed.

The bots will continue to select and submit updates for all dependencies, and a human will evaluate and integrate them. But only this.

Rolling releases will no longer be published: it is not correct to choose a version at random; this kind of thing needs to happen in the upstream repository.
