We've merged GNU Crypto and Jessie into GNU Classpath, where we think  
they will play a much larger and more important role in Free Java  
systems. Neither project will be actively maintained any longer on  
its own; new development will continue on in GNU Classpath.

Jessie was always a personal project of mine; I won't be maintaining  
the independent version any longer. GNU Crypto is a part of the GNU  
project, and we've decided not to continue it as an independent  
package. We will keep the web sites and mailing lists for both  
projects up for now, so users of these packages (who are not also  
users of GNU Classpath) can still ask for help if they need it.

But we encourage you to also check out GNU Classpath! We've been  
making amazing progress with this project, and don't see that  
momentum ending soon. Check us out at

   <http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/>

Also note that while I am not continuing development of either  
project independently, you are always free to fork these for your own  
use, and we would entertain reviving GNU Crypto if someone wanted to  
continue developing it for other purposes (that is, if you have a use  
for GNU Crypto outside of Classpath's more narrow goal of completing  
its JCE providers) then please send us a proposal. If you are  
interested in using Jessie for some other purpose, let me know about it.

Thanks, and Happy Hacking.
