Release 1.57 is now out.
The main focus in this release is on features. This release includes a new API for client side EST (RFC 7030) requests, as well as additional work on the TLS API to further complete the BCJSSE provider. The JCE and lightweight API now include the ARIA cipher. The SM2 algorithm (signatures, key exchange, and public key encryption) and the XMSS signature algorithm have been added to the lightweight API. An edge condition in GOFB mode has been fixed, PSS signature support now handles non-default length salts in the CMS API, an encoding issue with the PolicyConstraints extension has been fixed, the evaluation of multiple key expiry dates in an OpenPGP key has been bought into sync with GPG, and an occasional reset issue with the Blake2b digest has been fixed. A number of other issues in the provider have also been addressed and further work has been done to reduce possible timing side-channels in the EC FixedPointCombMultiplier. Further details on other additions and bug fixes can be found in the release notes at: https://www.bouncycastle.org/releasenotes.html Thanks also goes to other people and organisations who have contributed/donated to the project and you can find the updated list at https://www.bouncycastle.org/contributors.html We would also like to make a special mention of CISCO and PrimeKey for their support in the development of the EST API.
