Some +APIs have changed incompatibly since the 1.6 release series, but most +applications should work as-is or with only simple modifications. + +Botan is under a BSD-like license, the details of which can be found +in license.txt. More information about the authors and contributors +can be found in credits.txt and thanks.txt. All of these files are +included in the doc/ directory of the source distribution. + +You can file bugs in Bugzilla, which can be accessed at + http://www.randombit.net/bugzilla/ +or by sending a report to the botan-devel mailing list + http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/botan-devel/ + +In the doc directory, there should be a set of PDFs, including + +building.pdf - build instructions +api.pdf - the API reference manual +tutorial.pdf - a set of simple examples and tutorials + +A set of example programs can be found in the doc/examples directory. + +Some higher level cryptographic protocols are implemented using +Botan in: + +- NetSieben SSH Library (SSHv2) + http://www.netsieben.com/products/ssh/ +- Ajisai (SSLv3/TLSv1) + http://www.randombit.net/code/ajisai/ + +Check the project's website at http://botan.randombit.net/ for +announcements and new releases.
