[Pkg-silc-devel] SILC Toolkit 1.1.3

[Pekka Riikonen]

The new version of the SILC Toolkit is now available!  The source package
of the software is available from the following sources:

             http://silcnet.org/
             ftp://ftp.silcnet.org/

This maintenance release fixes several bugs, mainly for 64-bit big-endian 
machines.  Upgrading is recommended.

I also want to remind all application developers that haven't yet started
porting their applications from Toolkit 1.0 to 1.1, to not forget read the
porting manual at:

       http://silcnet.org/docs/toolkit/porting.html
