Hi guys,

Windows users have to be careful about openssl-for-windows (http://code.google.com/p/openssl-for-windows/downloads/list), the latest version, at least on plataform 64bits, don't generate the correct hash that Facebook need it for android apps.

When we are using this plugin we need provide a security hash to the facebook, in our aplication page (https://developers.facebook.com/apps), if what i'm saying don't make sense for you I recomend you read this materials:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/android/build/#sig
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html

If you've read this materials and already know how works and how you will have to do to generate your security hash to use this plugin, remember of this tip:

Use one of this versions: openssl-0.9.8e_X64.zip or openssl-0.9.8d_X64.rar

You don't should use the openssl-0.9.8k_X64.zip.

I hope this tip be useful. I lost a lot of time, testing ways to generate the correct hash and in the end the problem was with the latest version of openssl.
