For reference: (by @se3000)

For context, a lot of the reason that libraries commonly use the old version of Keccak is that Ethereum started using it before the SHA3 implementation was finalized. It stuck because there was no change in security level, and it would be a consensus breaking change. Now, Ethereum related libraries still use Keccak, but commonly mistake it for SHA3.
