* Version 1.0.19
 | 
						|
  This release includes all the changes from 1.0.18-stable, as well as two
 | 
						|
additions:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 - New AEADs: AEGIS-128L and AEGIS-256 are now available in the
 | 
						|
`crypto_aead_aegis128l_*()` and `crypto_aead_aegis256_*()` namespaces.
 | 
						|
AEGIS is a family of authenticated ciphers for high-performance applications,
 | 
						|
leveraging hardware AES acceleration on `x86_64` and `aarch64`. In addition
 | 
						|
to performance, AEGIS ciphers have unique properties making them easier and
 | 
						|
safer to use than AES-GCM. They can also be used as high-performance MACs.
 | 
						|
 - The HKDF key derivation mechanism, required by many standard protocols, is
 | 
						|
now available in the `crypto_kdf_hkdf_*()` namespace. It is implemented for
 | 
						|
the SHA-256 and SHA-512 hash functions.
 | 
						|
 - The `osx.sh` build script was renamed to `macos.sh`.
 | 
						|
 - Support for android-mips was removed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.18-stable
 | 
						|
 - Visual Studio: support for Windows/ARM64 builds has been added.
 | 
						|
 - Visual Studio: AVX512 implementations are enabled on supported CPUs.
 | 
						|
 - Visual Studio: an MSVC 2022 solution was added.
 | 
						|
 - Apple XCFramework: support for VisionOS was added.
 | 
						|
 - Apple XCFranework: support for Catalyst was added.
 | 
						|
 - Apple XCFramework: building the simulators is now optional.
 | 
						|
 - iOS: bitcode is not generated any more, as it was deprecated by Apple.
 | 
						|
 - watchOS: support for arm64 was added.
 | 
						|
 - The Zig toolchain can now be used as a modern build system to replace
 | 
						|
autoconf/automake/libtool/make/ccache and the compiler. This enables faster
 | 
						|
compilation times, easier cross compilation, and static libraries optimized
 | 
						|
for any CPU.
 | 
						|
 - The Zig toolchain is now the recommended way to compile `libsodium`
 | 
						|
to WebAssembly/WASI(X).
 | 
						|
 - libsodium can now be added as a dependency to Zig projects.
 | 
						|
 - Memory fences were added to remove some gadgets that could be used
 | 
						|
alongside speculative loads.
 | 
						|
 - The AES-GCM implementation was completely rewritten. It is now faster,
 | 
						|
and also available on aarch64, including Windows/ARM64.
 | 
						|
 - Compatibility with CET instrumentation / IBT / Shadow Stack was added.
 | 
						|
 - Emscripten: the `crypto_pwhash_*()` functions have been removed from Sumo
 | 
						|
builds, as they reserve a substantial amount of JavaScript memory, even when
 | 
						|
not used.
 | 
						|
 - Benchmarks now use `CLOCK_MONOTONIC` if possible.
 | 
						|
 - WebAssembly: tests can now run using Bun, WasmEdge, Wazero, wasm3 and
 | 
						|
wasmer-js. Support for WAVM and Lucet have been removed, as these projects
 | 
						|
have reached EOL.
 | 
						|
 - .NET: the minimum supported macOS version is now 1.0.15; this matches
 | 
						|
Microsoft guidelines.
 | 
						|
 - .NET: all the packages are now built using Zig, on all platforms. This
 | 
						|
allows us to easily match Microsoft's requirements, including supported glibc
 | 
						|
versions. However, on x86_64, targets are expected to support at least the
 | 
						|
AVX instruction set.
 | 
						|
 - .NET: packages for ARM64 are now available.
 | 
						|
 - C23 `memset_explicit()` is now used, when available.
 | 
						|
 - Compilation now uses `-Ofast` or `-O3` instead of `-O2` by default.
 | 
						|
 - Portability improvements to help compile libsodium to modern game consoles.
 | 
						|
 - JavaScript: a default `unhandledRejection` handler is not set any more.
 | 
						|
 - Slightly faster 25519 operations.
 | 
						|
 - OpenBSD: leverage `MAP_CONCEAL`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.18
 | 
						|
 - Enterprise versions of Visual Studio are now supported.
 | 
						|
 - Visual Studio 2019 is now supported.
 | 
						|
 - 32-bit binaries for Visual Studio 2010 are now provided.
 | 
						|
 - A test designed to trigger an OOM condition didn't work on Linux systems
 | 
						|
with memory overcommit turned on. It has been removed in order to fix
 | 
						|
Ansible builds.
 | 
						|
 - Emscripten: `print` and `printErr` functions are overridden to send
 | 
						|
errors to the console, if there is one.
 | 
						|
 - Emscripten: `UTF8ToString()` is now exported since `Pointer_stringify()`
 | 
						|
has been deprecated.
 | 
						|
 - Libsodium version detection has been fixed in the CMake recipe.
 | 
						|
 - Generic hashing got a 10% speedup on AVX2.
 | 
						|
 - New target: WebAssembly/WASI (compile with `dist-builds/wasm32-wasi.sh`).
 | 
						|
 - New functions to map a hash to an edwards25519 point or get a random point:
 | 
						|
`core_ed25519_from_hash()` and `core_ed25519_random()`.
 | 
						|
 - `crypto_core_ed25519_scalar_mul()` has been implemented for
 | 
						|
`scalar*scalar (mod L)` multiplication.
 | 
						|
 - Support for the Ristretto group has been implemented for interoperability
 | 
						|
with wasm-crypto.
 | 
						|
 - Improvements have been made to the test suite.
 | 
						|
 - Portability improvements have been made.
 | 
						|
 - `getentropy()` is now used on systems providing this system call.
 | 
						|
 - `randombytes_salsa20` has been renamed to `randombytes_internal`.
 | 
						|
 - Support for NativeClient has been removed.
 | 
						|
 - Most `((nonnull))` attributes have been relaxed to allow 0-length inputs
 | 
						|
to be `NULL`.
 | 
						|
 - The `-ftree-vectorize` and `-ftree-slp-vectorize` compiler switches are
 | 
						|
now used, if available, for optimized builds.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.17-stable
 | 
						|
 - AVX512 detection has been improved.
 | 
						|
 - A compilation option was added to enable retpoline support.
 | 
						|
 - `-ftls-model=global-dynamic` is now set, if available.
 | 
						|
 - Portability and documentation improvements.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.17
 | 
						|
 - Bug fix: `sodium_pad()` didn't properly support block sizes >= 256 bytes.
 | 
						|
 - JS/WebAssembly: some old iOS versions can't instantiate the WebAssembly
 | 
						|
module; fall back to Javascript on these.
 | 
						|
 - JS/WebAssembly: compatibility with newer Emscripten versions.
 | 
						|
 - Bug fix: `crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_str_verify()` and
 | 
						|
`crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_str_needs_rehash()` didn't return
 | 
						|
`EINVAL` on input strings with a short length, unlike their high-level
 | 
						|
counterpart.
 | 
						|
 - Added a workaround for Visual Studio 2010 bug causing CPU features
 | 
						|
not to be detected.
 | 
						|
 - Portability improvements.
 | 
						|
 - Test vectors from Project Wycheproof have been added.
 | 
						|
 - New low-level APIs for arithmetic mod the order of the prime order group:
 | 
						|
`crypto_core_ed25519_scalar_random()`, `crypto_core_ed25519_scalar_reduce()`,
 | 
						|
`crypto_core_ed25519_scalar_invert()`, `crypto_core_ed25519_scalar_negate()`,
 | 
						|
`crypto_core_ed25519_scalar_complement()`, `crypto_core_ed25519_scalar_add()`
 | 
						|
and `crypto_core_ed25519_scalar_sub()`.
 | 
						|
 - New low-level APIs for scalar multiplication without clamping:
 | 
						|
`crypto_scalarmult_ed25519_base_noclamp()` and
 | 
						|
`crypto_scalarmult_ed25519_noclamp()`. These new APIs are especially useful
 | 
						|
for blinding.
 | 
						|
 - `sodium_sub()` has been implemented.
 | 
						|
 - Support for WatchOS has been added.
 | 
						|
 - getrandom(2) is now used on FreeBSD 12+.
 | 
						|
 - The `nonnull` attribute has been added to all relevant prototypes.
 | 
						|
 - More reliable AVX512 detection.
 | 
						|
 - Javascript/Webassembly builds now use dynamic memory growth.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.16
 | 
						|
 - Signatures computations and verifications are now way faster on
 | 
						|
64-bit platforms with compilers supporting 128-bit arithmetic (gcc,
 | 
						|
clang, icc). This includes the WebAssembly target.
 | 
						|
 - New low-level APIs for computations over edwards25519:
 | 
						|
`crypto_scalarmult_ed25519()`, `crypto_scalarmult_ed25519_base()`,
 | 
						|
`crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point()`, `crypto_core_ed25519_add()`,
 | 
						|
`crypto_core_ed25519_sub()` and `crypto_core_ed25519_from_uniform()`
 | 
						|
(elligator representative to point).
 | 
						|
 - `crypto_sign_open()`, `crypto_sign_verify_detached() and
 | 
						|
`crypto_sign_edwards25519sha512batch_open` now reject public keys in
 | 
						|
non-canonical form in addition to low-order points.
 | 
						|
 - The library can be built with `ED25519_NONDETERMINISTIC` defined in
 | 
						|
order to use synthetic nonces for EdDSA. This is disabled by default.
 | 
						|
 - Webassembly: `crypto_pwhash_*()` functions are now included in
 | 
						|
non-sumo builds.
 | 
						|
 - `sodium_stackzero()` was added to wipe content off the stack.
 | 
						|
 - Android: support new SDKs where unified headers have become the
 | 
						|
default.
 | 
						|
 - The Salsa20-based PRNG example is now thread-safe on platforms with
 | 
						|
support for thread-local storage, optionally mixes bits from RDRAND.
 | 
						|
 - CMAKE: static library detection on Unix systems has been improved
 | 
						|
(thanks to @BurningEnlightenment, @nibua-r, @mellery451)
 | 
						|
 - Argon2 and scrypt are slightly faster on Linux.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.15
 | 
						|
 - The default password hashing algorithm is now Argon2id. The
 | 
						|
`pwhash_str_verify()` function can still verify Argon2i hashes
 | 
						|
without any changes, and `pwhash()` can still compute Argon2i hashes
 | 
						|
as well.
 | 
						|
 - The aes128ctr primitive was removed. It was slow, non-standard, not
 | 
						|
authenticated, and didn't seem to be used by any opensource project.
 | 
						|
 - Argon2id required at least 3 passes like Argon2i, despite a minimum
 | 
						|
of `1` as defined by the `OPSLIMIT_MIN` constant. This has been fixed.
 | 
						|
 - The secretstream construction was slightly changed to be consistent
 | 
						|
with forthcoming variants.
 | 
						|
 - The Javascript and Webassembly versions have been merged, and the
 | 
						|
module now returns a `.ready` promise that will resolve after the
 | 
						|
Webassembly code is loaded and compiled.
 | 
						|
 - Note that due to these incompatible changes, the library version
 | 
						|
major was bumped up.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.14
 | 
						|
 - iOS binaries should now be compatible with WatchOS and TVOS.
 | 
						|
 - WebAssembly is now officially supported. Special thanks to
 | 
						|
@facekapow and @pepyakin who helped to make it happen.
 | 
						|
 - Internal consistency checks failing and primitives used with
 | 
						|
dangerous/out-of-bounds/invalid parameters used to call abort(3).
 | 
						|
Now, a custom handler *that doesn't return* can be set with the
 | 
						|
`set_sodium_misuse()` function. It still aborts by default or if the
 | 
						|
handler ever returns. This is not a replacement for non-fatal,
 | 
						|
expected runtime errors. This handler will be only called in
 | 
						|
unexpected situations due to potential bugs in the library or in
 | 
						|
language bindings.
 | 
						|
 - `*_MESSAGEBYTES_MAX` macros (and the corresponding
 | 
						|
`_messagebytes_max()` symbols) have been added to represent the
 | 
						|
maximum message size that can be safely handled by a primitive.
 | 
						|
Language bindings are encouraged to check user inputs against these
 | 
						|
maximum lengths.
 | 
						|
 - The test suite has been extended to cover more edge cases.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_sign_ed25519_pk_to_curve25519() now rejects points that are
 | 
						|
not on the curve, or not in the main subgroup.
 | 
						|
 - Further changes have been made to ensure that smart compilers will
 | 
						|
not optimize out code that we don't want to be optimized.
 | 
						|
 - Visual Studio solutions are now included in distribution tarballs.
 | 
						|
 - The `sodium_runtime_has_*` symbols for CPU features detection are
 | 
						|
now defined as weak symbols, i.e. they can be replaced with an
 | 
						|
application-defined implementation. This can be useful to disable
 | 
						|
AVX* when temperature/power consumption is a concern.
 | 
						|
 - `crypto_kx_*()` now aborts if called with no non-NULL pointers to
 | 
						|
store keys to.
 | 
						|
 - SSE2 implementations of `crypto_verify_*()` have been added.
 | 
						|
 - Passwords can be hashed using a specific algorithm with the new
 | 
						|
`crypto_pwhash_str_alg()` function.
 | 
						|
 - Due to popular demand, base64 encoding (`sodium_bin2base64()`) and
 | 
						|
decoding (`sodium_base642bin()`) have been implemented.
 | 
						|
 - A new `crypto_secretstream_*()` API was added to safely encrypt files
 | 
						|
and multi-part messages.
 | 
						|
 - The `sodium_pad()` and `sodium_unpad()` helper functions have been
 | 
						|
added in order to add & remove padding.
 | 
						|
 - An AVX512 optimized implementation of Argon2 has been added (written
 | 
						|
by Ondrej Mosnáček, thanks!)
 | 
						|
 - The `crypto_pwhash_str_needs_rehash()` function was added to check if
 | 
						|
a password hash string matches the given parameters, or if it needs an
 | 
						|
update.
 | 
						|
 - The library can now be compiled with recent versions of
 | 
						|
emscripten/binaryen that don't allow multiple variables declarations
 | 
						|
using a single `var` statement.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.13
 | 
						|
 - Javascript: the sumo builds now include all symbols. They were
 | 
						|
previously limited to symbols defined in minimal builds.
 | 
						|
 - The public `crypto_pwhash_argon2i_MEMLIMIT_MAX` constant was
 | 
						|
incorrectly defined on 32-bit platforms. This has been fixed.
 | 
						|
 - Version 1.0.12 didn't compile on OpenBSD/i386 using the base gcc
 | 
						|
compiler. This has been fixed.
 | 
						|
 - The Android compilation scripts have been updated for NDK r14b.
 | 
						|
 - armv7s-optimized code was re-added to iOS builds.
 | 
						|
 - An AVX2 optimized implementation of the Argon2 round function was
 | 
						|
added.
 | 
						|
 - The Argon2id variant of Argon2 has been implemented. The
 | 
						|
high-level `crypto_pwhash_str_verify()` function automatically detects
 | 
						|
the algorithm and can verify both Argon2i and Argon2id hashed passwords.
 | 
						|
The default algorithm for newly hashed passwords remains Argon2i in
 | 
						|
this version to avoid breaking compatibility with verifiers running
 | 
						|
libsodium <= 1.0.12.
 | 
						|
 - A `crypto_box_curve25519xchacha20poly1305_seal*()` function set was
 | 
						|
implemented.
 | 
						|
 - scrypt was removed from minimal builds.
 | 
						|
 - libsodium is now available on NuGet.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.12
 | 
						|
 - Ed25519ph was implemented, adding a multi-part signature API
 | 
						|
(`crypto_sign_init()`, `crypto_sign_update()`, `crypto_sign_final_*()`).
 | 
						|
 - New constants and related accessors have been added for Scrypt and
 | 
						|
Argon2.
 | 
						|
 - XChaCha20 has been implemented. Like XSalsa20, this construction
 | 
						|
extends the ChaCha20 cipher to accept a 192-bit nonce. This makes it safe
 | 
						|
to use ChaCha20 with random nonces.
 | 
						|
 - `crypto_secretbox`, `crypto_box` and `crypto_aead` now offer
 | 
						|
variants leveraging XChaCha20.
 | 
						|
 - SHA-2 is about 20% faster, which also gives a speed boost to
 | 
						|
signature and signature verification.
 | 
						|
 - AVX2 implementations of Salsa20 and ChaCha20 have been added. They
 | 
						|
are twice as fast as the SSE2 implementations. The speed gain is
 | 
						|
even more significant on Windows, that previously didn't use
 | 
						|
vectorized implementations.
 | 
						|
 - New high-level API: `crypto_kdf`, to easily derive one or more
 | 
						|
subkeys from a master key.
 | 
						|
 - Siphash with a 128-bit output has been implemented, and is
 | 
						|
available as `crypto_shorthash_siphashx_*`.
 | 
						|
 - New `*_keygen()` helpers functions have been added to create secret
 | 
						|
keys for all constructions. This improves code clarity and can prevent keys
 | 
						|
from being partially initialized.
 | 
						|
 - A new `randombytes_buf_deterministic()` function was added to
 | 
						|
deterministically fill a memory region with pseudorandom data. This
 | 
						|
function can especially be useful to write reproducible tests.
 | 
						|
 - A preliminary `crypto_kx_*()` API was added to compute shared session
 | 
						|
keys.
 | 
						|
 - AVX2 detection is more reliable.
 | 
						|
 - The pthreads library is not required any more when using MingW.
 | 
						|
 - `contrib/Findsodium.cmake` was added as an example to include
 | 
						|
libsodium in a project using cmake.
 | 
						|
 - Compatibility with gcc 2.x has been restored.
 | 
						|
 - Minimal builds can be checked using `sodium_library_minimal()`.
 | 
						|
 - The `--enable-opt` compilation switch has become compatible with more
 | 
						|
platforms.
 | 
						|
 - Android builds are now using clang on platforms where it is
 | 
						|
available.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.11
 | 
						|
 - `sodium_init()` is now thread-safe, and can be safely called multiple
 | 
						|
times.
 | 
						|
 - Android binaries now properly support 64-bit Android, targeting
 | 
						|
platform 24, but without breaking compatibility with platforms 16 and
 | 
						|
21.
 | 
						|
 - Better support for old gcc versions.
 | 
						|
 - On FreeBSD, core dumps are disabled on regions allocated with
 | 
						|
sodium allocation functions.
 | 
						|
 - AVX2 detection was fixed, resulting in faster Blake2b hashing on
 | 
						|
platforms where it was not properly detected.
 | 
						|
 - The Sandy2x Curve25519 implementation was not as fast as expected
 | 
						|
on some platforms. This has been fixed.
 | 
						|
 - The NativeClient target was improved. Most notably, it now supports
 | 
						|
optimized implementations, and uses pepper_49 by default.
 | 
						|
 - The library can be compiled with recent Emscripten versions.
 | 
						|
Changes have been made to produce smaller code, and the default heap
 | 
						|
size was reduced in the standard version.
 | 
						|
 - The code can now be compiled on SLES11 service pack 4.
 | 
						|
 - Decryption functions can now accept a NULL pointer for the output.
 | 
						|
This checks the MAC without writing the decrypted message.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_generichash_final() now returns -1 if called twice.
 | 
						|
 - Support for Visual Studio 2008 was improved.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.10
 | 
						|
 - This release only fixes a compilation issue reported with some older
 | 
						|
gcc versions. There are no functional changes over the previous release.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.9
 | 
						|
 - The Javascript target now includes a `--sumo` option to include all
 | 
						|
the symbols of the original C library.
 | 
						|
 - A detached API was added to the ChaCha20-Poly1305 and AES256-GCM
 | 
						|
implementations.
 | 
						|
 - The Argon2i password hashing function was added, and is accessible
 | 
						|
directly and through a new, high-level `crypto_pwhash` API. The scrypt
 | 
						|
function remains available as well.
 | 
						|
 - A speed-record AVX2 implementation of BLAKE2b was added (thanks to
 | 
						|
Samuel Neves).
 | 
						|
 - The library can now be compiled using C++Builder (thanks to @jcolli44)
 | 
						|
 - Countermeasures for Ed25519 signatures malleability have been added
 | 
						|
to match the irtf-cfrg-eddsa draft (note that malleability is irrelevant to
 | 
						|
the standard definition of signature security). Signatures with a small-order
 | 
						|
`R` point are now also rejected.
 | 
						|
 - Some implementations are now slightly faster when using the Clang
 | 
						|
compiler.
 | 
						|
 - The HChaCha20 core function was implemented (`crypto_core_hchacha20()`).
 | 
						|
 - No-op stubs were added for all AES256-GCM public functions even when
 | 
						|
compiled on non-Intel platforms.
 | 
						|
 - `crypt_generichash_blake2b_statebytes()` was added.
 | 
						|
 - New macros were added for the IETF variant of the ChaCha20-Poly1305
 | 
						|
construction.
 | 
						|
 - The library can now be compiled on Minix.
 | 
						|
 - HEASLR is now enabled on MinGW builds.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.8
 | 
						|
 - Handle the case where the CPU supports AVX, but we are running
 | 
						|
on an hypervisor with AVX disabled/not supported.
 | 
						|
 - Faster (2x) scalarmult_base() when using the ref10 implementation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.7
 | 
						|
 - More functions whose return value should be checked have been
 | 
						|
tagged with `__attribute__ ((warn_unused_result))`: `crypto_box_easy()`,
 | 
						|
`crypto_box_detached()`, `crypto_box_beforenm()`, `crypto_box()`, and
 | 
						|
`crypto_scalarmult()`.
 | 
						|
 - Sandy2x, the fastest Curve25519 implementation ever, has been
 | 
						|
merged in, and is automatically used on CPUs supporting the AVX
 | 
						|
instructions set.
 | 
						|
 - An SSE2 optimized implementation of Poly1305 was added, and is
 | 
						|
twice as fast as the portable one.
 | 
						|
 - An SSSE3 optimized implementation of ChaCha20 was added, and is
 | 
						|
twice as fast as the portable one.
 | 
						|
 - Faster `sodium_increment()` for common nonce sizes.
 | 
						|
 - New helper functions have been added: `sodium_is_zero()` and
 | 
						|
 `sodium_add()`.
 | 
						|
 - `sodium_runtime_has_aesni()` now properly detects the CPU flag when
 | 
						|
 compiled using Visual Studio.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.6
 | 
						|
 - Optimized implementations of Blake2 have been added for modern
 | 
						|
Intel platforms. `crypto_generichash()` is now faster than MD5 and SHA1
 | 
						|
implementations while being far more secure.
 | 
						|
 - Functions for which the return value should be checked have been
 | 
						|
tagged with `__attribute__ ((warn_unused_result))`. This will
 | 
						|
intentionally break code compiled with `-Werror` that didn't bother
 | 
						|
checking critical return values.
 | 
						|
 - The `crypto_sign_edwards25519sha512batch_*()` functions have been
 | 
						|
tagged as deprecated.
 | 
						|
 - Undocumented symbols that were exported, but were only useful for
 | 
						|
internal purposes have been removed or made private:
 | 
						|
`sodium_runtime_get_cpu_features()`, the implementation-specific
 | 
						|
`crypto_onetimeauth_poly1305_donna()` symbols,
 | 
						|
`crypto_onetimeauth_poly1305_set_implementation()`,
 | 
						|
`crypto_onetimeauth_poly1305_implementation_name()` and
 | 
						|
`crypto_onetimeauth_pick_best_implementation()`.
 | 
						|
 - `sodium_compare()` now works as documented, and compares numbers
 | 
						|
in little-endian format instead of behaving like `memcmp()`.
 | 
						|
 - The previous changes should not break actual applications, but to be
 | 
						|
safe, the library version major was incremented.
 | 
						|
 - `sodium_runtime_has_ssse3()` and `sodium_runtime_has_sse41()` have
 | 
						|
been added.
 | 
						|
 - The library can now be compiled with the CompCert compiler.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.5
 | 
						|
 - Compilation issues on some platforms were fixed: missing alignment
 | 
						|
directives were added (required at least on RHEL-6/i386), a workaround
 | 
						|
for a VRP bug on gcc/armv7 was added, and the library can now be compiled
 | 
						|
with the SunPro compiler.
 | 
						|
 - Javascript target: io.js is not supported any more. Use nodejs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.4
 | 
						|
 - Support for AES256-GCM has been added. This requires
 | 
						|
a CPU with the aesni and pclmul extensions, and is accessible via the
 | 
						|
crypto_aead_aes256gcm_*() functions.
 | 
						|
 - The Javascript target doesn't use eval() any more, so that the
 | 
						|
library can be used in Chrome packaged applications.
 | 
						|
 - QNX and CloudABI are now supported.
 | 
						|
 - Support for NaCl has finally been added.
 | 
						|
 - ChaCha20 with an extended (96 bit) nonce and a 32-bit counter has
 | 
						|
been implemented as crypto_stream_chacha20_ietf(),
 | 
						|
crypto_stream_chacha20_ietf_xor() and crypto_stream_chacha20_ietf_xor_ic().
 | 
						|
An IETF-compatible version of ChaCha20Poly1305 is available as
 | 
						|
crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_npubbytes(),
 | 
						|
crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_encrypt() and
 | 
						|
crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_decrypt().
 | 
						|
 - The sodium_increment() helper function has been added, to increment
 | 
						|
an arbitrary large number (such as a nonce).
 | 
						|
 - The sodium_compare() helper function has been added, to compare
 | 
						|
arbitrary large numbers (such as nonces, in order to prevent replay
 | 
						|
attacks).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.3
 | 
						|
 - In addition to sodium_bin2hex(), sodium_hex2bin() is now a
 | 
						|
constant-time function.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_stream_xsalsa20_ic() has been added.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_generichash_statebytes(), crypto_auth_*_statebytes() and
 | 
						|
crypto_hash_*_statebytes() have been added in order to retrieve the
 | 
						|
size of structures keeping states from foreign languages.
 | 
						|
 - The JavaScript target doesn't require /dev/urandom or an external
 | 
						|
randombytes() implementation any more. Other minor Emscripten-related
 | 
						|
improvements have been made in order to support libsodium.js
 | 
						|
 - Custom randombytes implementations do not need to provide their own
 | 
						|
implementation of randombytes_uniform() any more. randombytes_stir()
 | 
						|
and randombytes_close() can also be NULL pointers if they are not
 | 
						|
required.
 | 
						|
 - On Linux, getrandom(2) is being used instead of directly accessing
 | 
						|
/dev/urandom, if the kernel supports this system call.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_box_seal() and crypto_box_seal_open() have been added.
 | 
						|
 - Visual Studio 2015 is now supported.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.2
 | 
						|
 - The _easy and _detached APIs now support precalculated keys;
 | 
						|
crypto_box_easy_afternm(), crypto_box_open_easy_afternm(),
 | 
						|
crypto_box_detached_afternm() and crypto_box_open_detached_afternm()
 | 
						|
have been added as an alternative to the NaCl interface.
 | 
						|
 - Memory allocation functions can now be used on operating systems with
 | 
						|
no memory protection.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_sign_open() and crypto_sign_edwards25519sha512batch_open()
 | 
						|
now accept a NULL pointer instead of a pointer to the message size, if
 | 
						|
storing this information is not required.
 | 
						|
 - The close-on-exec flag is now set on the descriptor returned when
 | 
						|
opening /dev/urandom.
 | 
						|
 - A libsodium-uninstalled.pc file to use pkg-config even when
 | 
						|
libsodium is not installed, has been added.
 | 
						|
 - The iOS target now includes armv7s and arm64 optimized code, as well
 | 
						|
as i386 and x86_64 code for the iOS simulator.
 | 
						|
 - sodium_free() can now be called on regions with PROT_NONE protection.
 | 
						|
 - The Javascript tests can run on Ubuntu, where the node binary was
 | 
						|
renamed nodejs. io.js can also be used instead of node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.1
 | 
						|
 - DLL_EXPORT was renamed SODIUM_DLL_EXPORT in order to avoid
 | 
						|
collisions with similar macros defined by other libraries.
 | 
						|
 - sodium_bin2hex() is now constant-time.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_secretbox_detached() now supports overlapping input and output
 | 
						|
regions.
 | 
						|
 - NaCl's donna_c64 implementation of curve25519 was reading an extra byte
 | 
						|
past the end of the buffer containing the base point. This has been
 | 
						|
fixed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 1.0.0
 | 
						|
 - The API and ABI are now stable. New features will be added, but
 | 
						|
backward-compatibility is guaranteed through all the 1.x.y releases.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_sign() properly works with overlapping regions again. Thanks
 | 
						|
to @pysiak for reporting this regression introduced in version 0.6.1.
 | 
						|
 - The test suite has been extended.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 0.7.1 (1.0 RC2)
 | 
						|
 - This is the second release candidate of Sodium 1.0. Minor
 | 
						|
compilation, readability and portability changes have been made and the
 | 
						|
test suite was improved, but the API is the same as the previous release
 | 
						|
candidate.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 0.7.0 (1.0 RC1)
 | 
						|
 - Allocating memory to store sensitive data can now be done using
 | 
						|
sodium_malloc() and sodium_allocarray(). These functions add guard
 | 
						|
pages around the protected data to make it less likely to be
 | 
						|
accessible in a heartbleed-like scenario. In addition, the protection
 | 
						|
for memory regions allocated that way can be changed using
 | 
						|
sodium_mprotect_noaccess(), sodium_mprotect_readonly() and
 | 
						|
sodium_mprotect_readwrite().
 | 
						|
 - ed25519 keys can be converted to curve25519 keys with
 | 
						|
crypto_sign_ed25519_pk_to_curve25519() and
 | 
						|
crypto_sign_ed25519_sk_to_curve25519(). This allows using the same
 | 
						|
keys for signature and encryption.
 | 
						|
 - The seed and the public key can be extracted from an ed25519 key
 | 
						|
using crypto_sign_ed25519_sk_to_seed() and crypto_sign_ed25519_sk_to_pk().
 | 
						|
 - aes256 was removed. A timing-attack resistant implementation might
 | 
						|
be added later, but not before version 1.0 is tagged.
 | 
						|
 - The crypto_pwhash_scryptxsalsa208sha256_* compatibility layer was
 | 
						|
removed. Use crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_*.
 | 
						|
 - The compatibility layer for implementation-specific functions was
 | 
						|
removed.
 | 
						|
 - Compilation issues with Mingw64 on MSYS (not MSYS2) were fixed.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_STRPREFIX was added: it contains
 | 
						|
the prefix produced by crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_str()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 0.6.1
 | 
						|
 - Important bug fix: when crypto_sign_open() was given a signed
 | 
						|
message too short to even contain a signature, it was putting an
 | 
						|
unlimited amount of zeros into the target buffer instead of
 | 
						|
immediately returning -1. The bug was introduced in version 0.5.0.
 | 
						|
 - New API: crypto_sign_detached() and crypto_sign_verify_detached()
 | 
						|
to produce and verify ed25519 signatures without having to duplicate
 | 
						|
the message.
 | 
						|
 - New ./configure switch: --enable-minimal, to create a smaller
 | 
						|
library, with only the functions required for the high-level API.
 | 
						|
Mainly useful for the JavaScript target and embedded systems.
 | 
						|
 - All the symbols are now exported by the Emscripten build script.
 | 
						|
 - The pkg-config .pc file is now always installed even if the
 | 
						|
pkg-config tool is not available during the installation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 0.6.0
 | 
						|
 - The ChaCha20 stream cipher has been added, as crypto_stream_chacha20_*
 | 
						|
 - The ChaCha20Poly1305 AEAD construction has been implemented, as
 | 
						|
crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_*
 | 
						|
 - The _easy API does not require any heap allocations any more and
 | 
						|
does not have any overhead over the NaCl API. With the password
 | 
						|
hashing function being an obvious exception, the library doesn't
 | 
						|
allocate and will not allocate heap memory ever.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_box and crypto_secretbox have a new _detached API to store
 | 
						|
the authentication tag and the encrypted message separately.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_pwhash_scryptxsalsa208sha256*() functions have been renamed
 | 
						|
crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256*().
 | 
						|
 - The low-level crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_ll() function
 | 
						|
allows setting individual parameters of the scrypt function.
 | 
						|
 - New macros and functions for recommended crypto_pwhash_* parameters
 | 
						|
have been added.
 | 
						|
 - Similarly to crypto_sign_seed_keypair(), crypto_box_seed_keypair()
 | 
						|
has been introduced to deterministically generate a key pair from a seed.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_onetimeauth() now provides a streaming interface.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_stream_chacha20_xor_ic() and crypto_stream_salsa20_xor_ic()
 | 
						|
have been added to use a non-zero initial block counter.
 | 
						|
 - On Windows, CryptGenRandom() was replaced by RtlGenRandom(), which
 | 
						|
doesn't require the Crypt API.
 | 
						|
 - The high bit in curve25519 is masked instead of processing the key as
 | 
						|
a 256-bit value.
 | 
						|
 - The curve25519 ref implementation was replaced by the latest ref10
 | 
						|
implementation from Supercop.
 | 
						|
 - sodium_mlock() now prevents memory from being included in coredumps
 | 
						|
on Linux 3.4+
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 0.5.0
 | 
						|
 - sodium_mlock()/sodium_munlock() have been introduced to lock pages
 | 
						|
in memory before storing sensitive data, and to zero them before
 | 
						|
unlocking them.
 | 
						|
 - High-level wrappers for crypto_box and crypto_secretbox
 | 
						|
(crypto_box_easy and crypto_secretbox_easy) can be used to avoid
 | 
						|
dealing with the specific memory layout regular functions depend on.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256* functions have been added
 | 
						|
to derive a key from a password, and for password storage.
 | 
						|
 - Salsa20 and ed25519 implementations now support overlapping
 | 
						|
inputs/keys/outputs (changes imported from supercop-20140505).
 | 
						|
 - New build scripts for Visual Studio, Emscripten, different Android
 | 
						|
architectures and msys2 are available.
 | 
						|
 - The poly1305-53 implementation has been replaced with Floodyberry's
 | 
						|
poly1305-donna32 and poly1305-donna64 implementations.
 | 
						|
 - sodium_hex2bin() has been added to complement sodium_bin2hex().
 | 
						|
 - On OpenBSD and Bitrig, arc4random() is used instead of reading
 | 
						|
/dev/urandom.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_auth_hmac_sha512() has been implemented.
 | 
						|
 - sha256 and sha512 now have a streaming interface.
 | 
						|
 - hmacsha256, hmacsha512 and hmacsha512256 now support keys of
 | 
						|
arbitrary length, and have a streaming interface.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_verify_64() has been implemented.
 | 
						|
 - first-class Visual Studio build system, thanks to @evoskuil
 | 
						|
 - CPU features are now detected at runtime.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 - mingw64 is now supported
 | 
						|
 - big-endian architectures are now supported as well
 | 
						|
 - The donna_c64 implementation of curve25519_donna_c64 now handles
 | 
						|
non-canonical points like the ref implementation
 | 
						|
 - Missing scalarmult_curve25519 and stream_salsa20 constants are now exported
 | 
						|
 - A crypto_onetimeauth_poly1305_ref() wrapper has been added
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 0.4.3
 | 
						|
 - crypto_sign_seedbytes() and crypto_sign_SEEDBYTES were added.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_onetimeauth_poly1305_implementation_name() was added.
 | 
						|
 - poly1305-ref has been replaced by a faster implementation,
 | 
						|
Floodyberry's poly1305-donna-unrolled.
 | 
						|
 - Stackmarkings have been added to assembly code, for Hardened Gentoo.
 | 
						|
 - pkg-config can now be used in order to retrieve compilations flags for
 | 
						|
using libsodium.
 | 
						|
 - crypto_stream_aes256estream_*() can now deal with unaligned input
 | 
						|
on platforms that require word alignment.
 | 
						|
 - portability improvements.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 0.4.2
 | 
						|
 - All NaCl constants are now also exposed as functions.
 | 
						|
 - The Android and iOS cross-compilation script have been improved.
 | 
						|
 - libsodium can now be cross-compiled to Windows from Linux.
 | 
						|
 - libsodium can now be compiled with emscripten.
 | 
						|
 - New convenience function (prototyped in utils.h): sodium_bin2hex().
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 0.4.1
 | 
						|
 - sodium_version_*() functions were not exported in version 0.4. They
 | 
						|
are now visible as intended.
 | 
						|
 - sodium_init() now calls randombytes_stir().
 | 
						|
 - optimized assembly version of salsa20 is now used on amd64.
 | 
						|
 - further cleanups and enhanced compatibility with non-C99 compilers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Version 0.4
 | 
						|
 - Most constants and operations are now available as actual functions
 | 
						|
instead of macros, making it easier to use from other languages.
 | 
						|
 - New operation: crypto_generichash, featuring a variable key size, a
 | 
						|
variable output size, and a streaming API. Currently implemented using
 | 
						|
Blake2b.
 | 
						|
 - The package can be compiled in a separate directory.
 | 
						|
 - aes128ctr functions are exported.
 | 
						|
 - Optimized versions of curve25519 (curve25519_donna_c64), poly1305
 | 
						|
(poly1305_53) and ed25519 (ed25519_ref10) are available. Optionally calling
 | 
						|
sodium_init() once before using the library makes it pick the fastest
 | 
						|
implementation.
 | 
						|
 - New convenience function: sodium_memzero() in order to securely
 | 
						|
wipe a memory area.
 | 
						|
 - A whole bunch of cleanups and portability enhancements.
