Hi Everyone,

Crypto++ 8.2 was released today. The 8.2 release was a minor, unplanned release. There are no CVEs or memory errors.

Two bugs were cleared that could cause discomfort for users. First, PowerPC switched from Power7 to Power8 for unaligned loads and stores. The bug affected Debian users on some PowerPC machines. Second, SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256 constructors were fixed. The bug affected older GCC and some other compilers.
