+php5 (5.3.6-13) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Updated blowfish crypt() algorithm fixes the 8-bit character handling
+ vulnerability (CVE-2011-2483) and adds more self-tests. Unfortunately
+ this change is incompatible with some old (wrong) generated hashes for
+ passwords containing 8-bit characters. Therefore the new salt prefix
+ '$2x$' was introduced which can be used as a replacement for '$2a$'
+ salt prefix in the password database in case the incompatibility is
+ found.
