There are no plans for further FIPS validated versions at this point. The
FIPS testing costs about $30000 per release. The reason they were being done
is that Groove Networks (now part of Microsoft) needed new FIPS validated
versions as they upgraded their compiler from MSVC 6 to 2003 to 2005, and
was willing to pay for the testing.

I was going to suggest that you use Crypto++ 5.3 if you need FIPS
validation, but C++ DLLs are not compatible between different MSVC versions,
so unless you upgrade your compiler you can't use that one (which only works
with MSVC 2005). The only FIPS validated DLL that is compatible with MSVC 6
is 5.0.4, but it doesn't have SHA-224, which was added in version 5.2.2.
