Unsupported or Discontinued Features
- Deprecated support for Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler* version 19.16 provided by Microsoft Visual Studio* 2017 version 15.9 from Intel® IPP Cryptography. If you use this version of Compiler for building Intel® IPP Cryptography library, please plan on migrating to a newer supported version of Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler*.
- Intel® IPP deprecated support for multi-threaded libraries.
- Dropped SSSE3 optimized variant in Intel® IPP Core due to unsupported hardware in macOS* systems.
- Dropped performance tests for Intel® IPP.
Known Issues and Limitations
- Please avoid using Intel® IPP Cryptography ippsGFpECSharedSecretDH function with NIST P-384 Elliptic Curve. It computes incorrect shared key when using with NIST P-384 Elliptic Curve for some edge inputs.
- This RSA Multi-Buffer API is deprecated from Intel® IPP Cryptography and is removed since 2021.2 release. It is recommended to switch to crypto_mb library. If you have any concerns, open a ticket and provide feedback at Intel® online support center.
- Intel® IPP Custom Library Tool cannot see the path to Intel® Compilers after setting environment variables due to different versions of Intel® IPP and Intel® Compilers. The workaround is to auto build the dynamic library in GUI mode. Path to the Intel® Compilers should be provided manually.
- DEPRECATION NOTICE
- Intel® C++ Compiler Classic (icc) is deprecated and will be removed in a oneAPI release in the second half of 2023. Intel recommends that customers transition now to using the LLVM-based Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (icx) for continued Windows* and Linux* support, new language support, new language features, and optimizations. Note that starting with release 2021.7, macOS* support is limited to Mac* computers with Intel® Processors. For more information on icx, see the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler Developer Guide and Reference.
Known Installation and Configuration Issues
See the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit Release Notes for additional details and issues common to multiple toolkits.
