 ## Bugs

-- Fixed a configuration setting for -m 400 which said it's capable of doing SIMD while it is not
-- Fixed a hash parsing problem for 7-Zip hashes: allow a longer crc32 data length field within the hash format

 - Fixed a hash parsing problem when using --show/--left with hashes with long salts that required pure kernels
-- Fixed a logic error in storing temporary progress for slow hashes,leading to invalid speeds in status view
-- Fixed a mask-length check issue: Return -1 in case the mask-length is not within the password-length range
-- Fixed a missing check for returncode in case hashcat.hcstat2 was not found

 - Fixed a uninitialized value in OpenCL kernels 9720, 9820 and 10420 leading to absurd benchmark performance
 - Fixed invalid support for SIMD in -m 400
 - Fixed the maximum password length check in password-reassembling function
