Actually, it does add the dummy format (for testing/tuning of rulesets,
etc.), AVX/XOP support for DES, better performance with large numbers of
hashes loaded for some hash types (most notably, NTLM), and
warnings/hints on alternate hash types. Perhaps this is mostly
irrelevant to W.A. specifically and it does not count as "major".

Yes, the intrinsics patch by Bartavelle hasn't yet been updated, nor
merged. Perhaps now is the time to consider it for merging again, if
it's implemented on top of 1.7.7-jumbo-1 such that it doesn't break
compiles on any systems.

What's that? I might have missed it.

I do intend to try merging those other patches you mention, except that
I am puzzled by the "new Markov". It doesn't appear to be on the wiki.
Thanks,
