# Tomb ChangeLog
+## 2.3
+### December 2016
+
+Fix to bug occurring when using ZSh version 5.3 or higher. Fix to
+inclusion of final newline in keys generated with 2.2. Enhanced
+continuous integration script with regression tests on usage of old
+stable versions of Tomb. Improved parser and post-hooks to avoid
+usage of external binaries (grep and cat) also improving security when
+decrypting keys. Fix for clean execution via sudo. Updated
+extras/gtomb to latest stable version. Updates to the documentation
+about kdf and using images as keys. New experimental port to Android
+platforms in extras.

+# Ending newline in tomb keys
+## 2.2
+
+ When used to forge new keys, Tomb version 2.2 incorrectly added a new
+ line ('\n', 0x0A) character at the end of each key's secret sequence
+ before encoding it with GnuPG. This does not affect Tomb regression
+ and compatibility with other Tomb versions as this final newline is
+ ignored in any case, but third party software may have
+ problems. Those writing a software that supports opening Tomb files
+ should always ignore the final newline when present in the secret
+ material obtained after decoding the key with the password.

-# Breaking news (literally)

-Those who upgraded the ZSh interpreter to version 5.3 (released very recently) will have problems opening tombs. [This problem is known](https://github.com/dyne/Tomb/issues/232) and will be fixed soon. There is no data loss for your tombs, of course. Meanwhile we advise to downgrade ZSh to 5.2.
