+NEWS for the Nettle 3.1.1 release
+
+ This release fixes a couple of non-critical bugs.
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ * By accident, nettle-3.1 disabled the assembly code for the
+ secp_224r1 and secp_521r1 elliptic curves on all x86_64
+ configurations, making signature operations on those curves
+ 10%-30% slower. This code is now re-enabled.
+
+ * The x86_64 assembly implementation of gcm hashing has been
+ fixed to work with the Sun/Oracle assembler.
+
+ The shared library names are libnettle.so.6.1 and
+ libhogweed.so.4.1, with sonames still libnettle.so.6 and
+ libhogweed.so.4. It is intended to be fully binary compatible
+ with nettle-3.1.
