This release fixes CVE-2017-13098 ("ROBOT"), a Bleichenbacher oracle in TLS
when RSA key exchange is negotiated. This potentially affected BCJSSE servers
and any other TLS servers configured to use JCE for the underlying crypto -
note the two TLS implementations using the BC lightweight APIs
are not affected by this.
Some of additional fixes, features and functionality:
* GOST3410-94 private keys encoded using ASN.1 INTEGER are now accepted
in private key info objects; GOST3412-2015 has been added
to the JCE provider and the lightweight API.
* SCRYPT is now supported as a SecretKeyFactory in the provider and
in the PKCS8 APIs.
* The BCJSSE provider now supports Server Name Indication,
session resumption in clients, the jdk.tls.namedGroups and
org.bouncycastle.jsse.ec.disableChar2 system properties.
* ECGOST-2012 public keys were being encoded with the wrong OID
for the digest parameter in the algorithm parameter set. This has been fixed.
* The BCJSSE SSLEngine implementation now correctly wraps/unwraps
application data only in whole records.

The main focus in this release is on features. Considerable work has
been done on improving the TLS/DTLS API and the BCJSSE. Support for
ECGOST3410-2012 has been added for both signing and key
agreement/exchange. The DSTU-7564 digest and DSTU-7624 (Kalyna) cipher
have also been added. Support for XMSS and XMSS^MT has been added to the
BCPQC provider and certificate support for the BCPQC algorithms is much
improved.

port changes:
- upstream updated list of its MASTER_SITES (bouncycastle.gva.es
is gone, downloads.bouncycastle.org changed to www.bouncycastle.org);
- pkg-descr updated to reflect current features;
- installation of zipped bundled sources made optional, enabled by
default to match previous behavior.
Some of new version changes:
- a new API for DTLS/TLS and a JSSE provider suitable for Java 5 and later;
- support for RFC 7539 ChaCha20 and Poly1305 has also been added
and general support for SHA-3 in the PKIX APIs has been improved;

The FreeBSD Ports Collection already has 1.45 version of the Bouncy Castle and
this new port is based on java/bouncycastle.
Newer versions are not API-compatible with that older one. Some say they should
be given 2.x version numbers. So, this new version comes as distinct port
java/bouncycastle15 instead of update for existing java/bouncycastle15 to keep
old API version available.
This is neccessary dependency for other port updates, e.g. newer version of
iText PDF (devel/itext) requires new API of modern Bouncy Castle versions.
