- update to 1.7.9:
  + Added optional parallelization of the MD5-based crypt(3) code with OpenMP.
  + Added optional parallelization of the bitslice DES code with OpenMP.
  + Replaced the bitslice DES key setup algorithm with a faster one, which
    significantly improves performance at LM hashes, as well as at DES-based
    crypt(3) hashes when there's just one salt (or very few salts).
  + Optimized the DES S-box x86-64 (16-register SSE2) assembly code.
  + Added support for 10-character DES-based tripcodes (not optimized yet).
  + Added support for the "$2y$" prefix of bcrypt hashes.
  + Added two more hash table sizes (16M and 128M entries) for faster processing
    of very large numbers of hashes per salt (over 1M).
  + Added two pre-defined external mode variables: "abort" and "status", which
    let an external mode request the current cracking session to be aborted or the
    status line to be displayed, respectively.
  + Made some minor optimizations to external mode function calls and virtual
    machine implementation.
  + The "--make-charset" option now uses floating-point rather than 64-bit
    integer operations, which allows for larger CHARSET_* settings in params.h.
  + Added runtime detection of Intel AVX and AMD XOP instruction set extensions,
    with optional fallback to an alternate program binary.
  + Added relbench, a Perl script to compare two "john --test" benchmark runs,
    such as for different machines, "make" targets, C compilers, optimization
    options, or/and versions of John the Ripper.
  + Additional public lists of "top N passwords" have been merged into the
    bundled common passwords list, and some insufficiently common passwords were
    removed from the list.
  + Many minor enhancements and a few bug fixes were made.
