Release 1.8.0

 . Added a new ISA-L backend implementing locally-recoverable codes. These
   allow reconstruction with less than k fragments.
 . Added locks to ensure thread-safety.
 . The maximum total number of fragments (k + m) is increased from 32 to 256.
 . Properly fail reconstruction when there are too many failures for
   flat_xor_hd to handle.
 . Other minor fixes and updates.

Release 1.7.1
-------------

 . Fixed version number.

Release 1.7.0
-------------

 . Added a new ISA-L backend based on Vandermonde matrices but allowing optimal
   codes even with more than four parity.
 . Properly fail when there are too many failures for flat_xor_hd to handle.
   Previously, this could segmentation fault or return corrupt data.
 . Fixed compiler warning about maybe-uninitialized tables.
 . Other minor fixes and updates.

Release 1.6.5
-------------

 . Fixed a segmentation fault when multiple liberasurecode_rs_vand descriptors
   have been created then one of them is destroyed.
 . Fixed several compiler warnings regarding strict prototypes.
 . Other minor fixes and updates.

Release 1.6.4
-------------

 . Fixed a bounds check in get_fragment_partition that could lead to stray
   writes or segmentation faults.
 . Fixed builds on non-Bash shells.
 . Other minor fixes and updates.

Release 1.6.3
-------------

 . Fixed an underflow error when using flat_xor_hd.
 . Added a build option to allow a suffix to be added to library names passed
   to dlopen(). To use, define LIBERASURECODE_SO_SUFFIX via CFLAGS when
   building. This is useful when renaming libraries for PyEClib wheels, for
   example, so they don't conflict with system packages that may be installed.

Release 1.6.2
-------------

 . Allow the writing of fragments with the legacy, non-standard CRC-32.
   This is intended to smooth upgrades from liberasurecode 1.5.0 and
   earlier in a system with multiple readers and writers.

   See https://bugs.launchpad.net/liberasurecode/+bug/1886088 for more
   information, including a script you can run on already-written
   fragments to determine whether you are affected.

   If you are affected:

    - Before upgrading, ensure every writer will have the environment variable
      LIBERASURECODE_WRITE_LEGACY_CRC=1 set upon restart.
    - Upgrade liberasurecode on all systems, restarting processes as needed.
      Upgraded writers will continue writing CRCs that not-yet-upgraded
      readers can use.
    - After liberasurecode is upgraded everywhere, remove the environment
      variable. zlib CRCs will be used for new writes, and data written with
      either CRC will still be readable.

Release 1.6.1
-------------

 . Fixed CRC validation of little-endian fragments on big-endian
 . Fixed compile warning about unaligned pointers

Release 1.6.0
-------------

 . Use zlib for CRC-32
 . Allow support for reading of little-endian framents on big-ending
   and vice-versa
 . Added check to return error for negative data or parity arguments
 . Added better argument validation for flat_xor_hd

Release 1.5.0
-------------

 . Added support for Phazr.IO libphazr library
 . Fixed memory leaks and initialization errors in Jerasure
 . Fixed memory leak in ISA-L
 . Changed the Galois Field multiplication table in ISA-L to be calculated
   only on init.
 . Fixed valgrind-check to enable finding memory-leaks.
 . Fixed several memory leaks in tests and also in the built-in rs_vand
   implementation.
 . Fixed warning on automake tool
 . Added compiler flag to disable AVX optimizations.

Release 1.4.0
-------------

 . Added support for ISA-L Cauchy
 . Added get_version functionality to library
 . Fixed reconstruct to return an error when memory allocation failed
 . Fixed posix_memalign error handling

Release 1.3.1
-------------

 . Fixed the internal version number. It was inadvertently skipped in 1.3.0.

Release 1.3.0
-------------

 . Fixed error handling on gf_ivnert_matrix in isa-l backend
 . Added get_by_desc return value handling to get_fragment_size
 . Other minor fixes and updates


Release 1.2.0
-------------

 . Add functionality to enable consumers to check which backends are
   present on a system
 . Fix segfault when fragment index is out of range
 . Add fragment metadata checksumming support

Release 1.1.0
-------------

 . Fix for a segfault related to Jerasure uninit() function that is being
   looked up by the jerasure EC backend (Issue#19)
 . Split helpers.h include for backward compatibility
 . Create header symlinks in std locations for backward compat ( k and all parities are chosen as input to decode
