    Secure Software Inc. would like to announce the release of EGADS 0.9.5.
                                                                                   
    EGADS is a system service and library for providing secure random numbers.
    It contains an implementation of the Tiny pseudo-random number generator
    and the Tiny entropy gateway. Tiny is an evolution of Yarrow, and was
    designed by John Kelsey (an original designer of Yarrow) and John Viega.
    
    EGADS provides the same kind of functionality as /dev/random and /dev/urandom
    on Linux systems, but works on Windows, and as a portable Unix program.
    
    EGADS is available as a portable user-level daemon for Unix systems, and as
    a service for Windows 2000/XP machines.
    
    
    New in this version of EGADS:
    
    
    Support for an EGD-like interface
    
    Entropy API for getting raw entropy from the EGADS daemon
    
    Various PRNG bugfixes.
