Hi,

This is to announce four minor updates:

There's a new "stable" version of John the Ripper (1.7.0.1).  Changes
made since the 1.7 release are limited to minor bug and portability
fixes, better handling of certain uncommon scenarios and improper uses
of John, and the addition of a "keyboard cracker" to the default
john.conf (john.ini) that will try sequences of adjacent keys on a
keyboard as passwords.

The official distribution archives of JtR 1.7.0.1 - including the source
code for Unix systems as well as Win32 and DOS builds - are available
from the usual location:

	http://www.openwall.com/john/

Also made available today are minor updates to popa3d (1.0.1), scanlogd
(2.2.6), and crypt_blowfish (1.0.1) needed for compiling with glibc
2.3.90+ C header files (no CLK_TCK).
