Version: 2.7-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I would like to use the newly added stream hashing functions provided by
ssdeep 2.10. The relevant new symbols are fuzzy_new, fuzzy_update,
fuzzy_digest and fuzzy_free. See
http://sourceforge.net/p/ssdeep/code/195/tree/trunk/fuzzy.h

Note that even though the value of FUZZY_MAX_RESULT changes with this
release, the ABI is backwards compatible in that the functions existing
prior to 2.10 will only require the old value of FUZZY_MAX_RESULT to be
writeable.

Disclaimer: I am the author of the newly added functions.

Helmut
