+@strong{Incompatible} encrypted packet format change: payload and pad
+sizes are sent in-bound in the encrypted stream. That gives ability to
+streamingly create encrypted packets, without knowing sizes in advance,
+without creating temporary file or buffer data in memory.
+
+@item
+Proper encrypted packet padding verification is done now. This is not
+critical issue, but previously neither padding value, nor its size were
+authenticated, giving ability to iteratively strip trailing bytes and
+determine payload's size by observing the reaction of the encrypted
+packet processing.
