In 2.7.0, we replaced a number of MD functions with deprecated inline
versions. This causes ABI compatibility issues, as the functions are no
longer guaranteed to be callable when built into a shared library.
Instead, deprecate the functions without also inlining them, to help
maintain ABI backwards compatibility.
MD2, MD4, MD5, DES and SHA-1 are considered weak and their use
constitutes a security risk. If possible, we recommend avoiding
dependencies on them, and considering stronger message digests and
ciphers instead.
The _ext suffix suggests "new arguments", but the new functions have
the same arguments. Use _ret instead, to convey that the difference is
that the new functions return a value.
The following function calls are being deprecated to introduce int
return values.
* mbedtls_md2()
* mbedtls_md2_starts()
* mbedtls_md2_update()
* mbedtls_md2_finish()
* mbedtls_md2_process()
The return codes can be used to return error values. This is important
when using hardware accelerators.
