+Changes
+   * In configurations with ARIA or Camellia but not AES, the value of
+     MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX was 8, rather than 16 as the name might
+     suggest. This did not affect any library code, because this macro was
+     only used in relation with CMAC which does not support these ciphers.
+     Its value is now 16 if ARIA or Camellia are present. This may affect
+     application code that uses this macro.
