I am going to do one more important change to final 1.6.0:
change LUKS _default_ cipher to aes-xts-plain64 with 512bits key.
Most of recent disk encryption systems switched already to XTS mode,
also it is preferred by standards (and we are using it for very long
time in Fedora/RHEL during installations.)
Distro maintainers can always overwrite this during compilation time,
and user can use -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 to old mode always.
(Plain mode have to stay with CBC, change would cause compatibility problems.)
Any serious objections to not do that now?
Milan
