It supports a wide variety of both modern and historical hashing methods: yescrypt, gost-yescrypt, scrypt, bcrypt, sha512crypt, sha256crypt, md5crypt, SunMD5, sha1crypt, NT, bsdicrypt, bigcrypt, and descrypt. It provides the traditional Unix crypt and crypt_r interfaces, as well as a set of extended interfaces. This switches our crypt(3) implementation to an externally maintained one used nowadays by modern Linux distributions. As this version uses a different definition of struct crypt_data, it is not ABI compatible with its predecessor, and therefore applications will need to be rebuilt to use this version. In addition, the encrypt(3) and setkey(3) APIs are removed from this version, as done also by newer Linux distributions, as they only support weak ciphers which should no longer be used nowadays. -- Yaakov
