+NEWS for the 1.15 release
+
+       Added support for PKCS#1 style RSA signatures using SHA256,
+       according to RFC 3447. Currently lacks interoperability
+       testing.
+       
+       Header files are now C++ aware, so C++ programs using Nettle
+       should now use plain
+
+         #include <nettle/foo.h>
+
+       rather than
+
+         #extern "C" {
+         #include <nettle/foo.h>
+         }
+
+       as was the recommendation for the previous version. This
+       breaks source-level compatibility with C++, even though
+       there's full binary compatibility.
+
+       The file rfc1750.txt (which is considered non-free by debian)
+       has been removed from the distribution. The file was used as input
+       for the Yarrow testcase, and has been replaced by the short
+       story "The Gold-bug" by Edgar Allan Poe. Anyway, RFC 1750 is
+       obsoleted by RFC 4086.
+
+       Fixes for Darwin shared library support, contributed by Grant
+       Robinsson.
+
+       Example programs now use a supplied getopt.c.
+
+       Configure tests for assemblers with a logarithmic .align
+       directive.
+
+       The library is intended to be upwards binary compatible with
+       earlier versions. The library name is libnettle.so.2.6, soname
+       is still libnettle.so.2.
+
