Crypto++ 5.6.3 Release Candidate available (RC6)

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

We have a new release candidate available at https://www.cryptopp.com/cryptopp563rc6.zip. Here are the checksums:

    $ md5sum cryptopp563rc6.zip
    18c0a0623395099c06fa1868d762baf6
    $ sha1sum cryptopp563rc6.zip
    0f5373062491ad60e48934413bb5f527263e6c54
    $ sha256sum cryptopp563rc6.zip
    4224154594cf7f63ca968469efec86b0fefda23aa24f1f97afa23c8900f9545e

This clears minor items, like a failed build with Debian Jessie (amd64) with C++11, removal of defines like _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE, cut-over to safer functions on Windows, etc.

Wei asked that it be checked in, so a SVN and GitHub check-in will occur shortly.

The check-in was performed at:

 * http://sourceforge.net/p/cryptopp/code/591
 * http://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/commit/48809d4e85c125814425c621d8d0d89f95405924

The GitHub check-in is larger than the SVN check-in because it appears line endings were different in GitHub.

Since over half the changes concerned documentation, I'm going to build the docs and upload them to the website.

Unfortunately the MSVC 12 build is broken.  CRYPTOPP_CXX11_ALIGNOF is defined for CRYPTOPP_MSC_VERSION >= 1800 (Visual C++ 2013), but alignof was only added in Visual C++ 2015 (CRYPTOPP_MSC_VERSION >= 1900).

OK, thanks. I *think* I parsed this incorrectly:

   * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh567368%28v=vs.120%29.aspx#alignment
 
I ordered a copy of Visual Studio 2013 Pro for testing. I ordered it last Friday or Saturday. I should have it in the next couple of days.
