* [ sf.net patch # 1121611 ]Gregory P. Smith2005-08-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | A new hashlib module to replace the md5 and sha modules. It adds support for additional secure hashes such as SHA-256 and SHA-512. The hashlib module uses OpenSSL for fast platform optimized implementations of algorithms when available. The old md5 and sha modules still exist as wrappers around hashlib to preserve backwards compatibility.

| | | | | | | | | SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-) I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an \index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{} does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a problem.
