This release was unexpected. We moved because the SHAKE compile error was reported by four different users. When I talked to Uri about it, we felt it was going to be a trend that would cause future users a fair amount of trouble. The kicker about the SHAKE bug is, it was detected well before the 8.1 release during CentOS 5 testing. The fix was committed on my testing branch, but never got merged back to Master. Arg...
