| Version 4 (August 2, 2012): |
| * Add RDRAND instruction support |
| * Add -q and -v options for quiet and verbose output |
| * Add -p option for specifying PID file (text file containing daemon's PID) |
| * Disable entropy source if facing continued failures, but be |
| tolerant of the occasional fault. |
| * Default device is now the preferred /dev/hwrng |
| * Do not use TPM device for RNG access, if /dev/hwrng is present |
| (TPM RNG is exported via the kernel, in newer kernels) |
| |
| Version 3 (July 3, 2010): |
| |
| * add rngtest program |
| * imported into git repository |
| * support TPM chip's hardware RNG (and thus, a framework for supporting |
| multiple entropy sources) |
| * change default hardware RNG device name to "/dev/hw_random" |
| |
| Version 2 (August 24, 2004): |
| |
| * Fixes and cleanups from Debian (Henrique de Moraes Holschuh) |
| Assures rngd works with 2.6 kernels. |
| |
| Version 1.1 (April 6, 2004): |
| |
| * update to recent autoconf/automake |
| * add new rngtest program |
| * various minor cleanups |
