* changes v3.10 -> v3.20:

The hashcat core was completely refactored to be a MT-safe library (libhashcat).
The goal was to help developers include hashcat into distributed clients or GUI frontends.
The CLI (hashcat.bin or hashcat.exe) works as before but from a technical perspective it's a library frontend.

##
## Features
##

- New option --speed-only: Quickly provides cracking speed per device based on the user hashes and selected options, then quit
- New option --keep-guessing: Continue cracking hashes even after they have been cracked (to find collisions)
- New option --restore-file-path: Manually override the path to the restore file (useful if we want all session files in the same folder)
- New option --opencl-info: Show details about OpenCL compatible devices like an embedded clinfo tool (useful for bug reports)
- Documents: Added colors for warnings (yellow) and errors (red) instead of WARNING: and ERROR: prefix
- Documents: Added hints presented to the user about optimizing performance while hashcat is running
- Hardware management: Support --gpu-temp-retain for AMDGPU-Pro driver
- Hardware management: Support --powertune-enable for AMDGPU-Pro driver
- Password candidates: Allow words of length > 31 in wordlists for -a 0 for some slow hashes if no rules are in use
- Password candidates: Do not use $HEX[] if the password candidate is a valid UTF-8 string and print out as-is
- Pause mode: Allow quit program also if in pause mode
- Pause mode: Ignore runtime limit in pause mode
- Status view: Show core-clock, memory-clock and execution time in benchmark-mode in case --machine-readable is activated
- Status view: Show temperature, coreclock, memoryclock, fanspeed and pci-lanes for devices using AMDGPU-Pro driver
- Status view: Show the current first and last password candidate test queued for execution per device (as in JtR)
- Status view: Show the current position in the queue for both base and modifier (Example: Wordlist 2/5)
- Markov statistics: Update hashcat.hcstat which is used as reference whenever the user defines a mask
- Charsets: Added lowercase ascii hex (?h) and uppercase ascii hex (?H) as predefined charsets

##
## Algorithms
##

- Added hash-mode 14000 = DES (PT = $salt, key = $pass)
- Added hash-mode 14100 = 3DES (PT = $salt, key = $pass)
- Added hash-mode 14400 = SHA1(CX)
- Added hash-mode 99999 = Plaintext
- Extended hash-mode 3200 = bcrypt: Accept signature $2b$ (February 2014)
- Improved hash-mode 8300 = DNSSEC: Additional parsing error detection

##
## Bugs
##

- Custom charset from file parsing code did not return an error if an error occured
- Fix some clSetKernelArg() size error that caused slow modes to not work anymore in -a 1 mode
- Hash-mode 11600 = (7-Zip): Depending on input hash a clEnqueueReadBuffer(): CL_INVALID_VALUE error occured
- Hash-mode 22 = Juniper Netscreen/SSG (ScreenOS): Fix salt length for -m 22 in benchmark mode
- Hash-Mode 5500 = NetNTLMv1 + ESS: Fix loading of NetNTLMv1 + SSP hash
- Hash-mode 6000 = RipeMD160: Fix typo in array index number
- If cracking a hash-mode using unicode passwords, length check of a mask was not taking into account
- If cracking a large salted hashlist the wordlist reject code was too slow to handle it, leading to 0H/s
- Null-pointer dereference in outfile-check shutdown code when using --outfile-check-dir, leading to segfault
- On startup hashcat tried to access the folder defined in INSTALL_FOLDER, leading to segfault if that folder was not existing
- Random rules generator code used invalid parameter for memory copy function (M), leading to use of invalid rule
- Sanity check for --outfile-format was broken if used in combination with --show or --left

##
