This is a bugfix release -- the changes since version 0.7 are:

  A major bug was fixed in the passive multiplication protocol in the
  case where 2t + 1 != n. Unit tests were updated for Python 2.6.

About VIFF:

  Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework is a framework for creating
  efficient and secure multiparty computations (SMPC). Players, who do
  not trust each other, participate in a joint computation based on
  their private inputs. The computation is done using cryptographic
  protocols which allows them to obtain a correct answer without
  revealing their private inputs. Operations supported include
  addition, multiplication, and comparison, all with Shamir secret
  shared outputs.
