73 | ||
74 | Document that it is now easy to generate different messages that produce the | |
75 | same MD5 digest. | |
76 | ||
77 | Use XSLoader; perl-5.6 is now required. | |

141 | Release 2.27 | |
142 | ||
143 | Avoid having to figure how to compile alignment test program | |
144 | on MS-Windows by just assume free alignment as for i386. Source | |
145 | builds on Windows was apparently broken. | |

151 | Release 2.26 | |
152 | ||
153 | Don't assume PerlIO_read() works like fread() even though | |
154 | it was documented like that for perl 5.6. It returns negative | |
155 | on read failure. | |
156 | ||
157 | Kill test #3 in t/badfile.t. I don't know a reliable way | |
158 | to test read failures on a file handle. Seems better not to | |
159 | test than to make many worry. | |

165 | Release 2.25 | |
166 | ||
167 | The $md5->addfile method now croaks if it discovers | |
168 | errors on the handle after reading from it. This should | |
169 | make it more difficult to end up with the wrong digest | |
170 | just because you are to lazy to check the error status | |
171 | on your file handles after reading from them. | |
172 | ||
173 | Improved documentation. | |

210 | ||
211 | Minor tweaks sync up with bleadperl: | |
212 | - VMS optimizer tweaks to the Makefile.PL | |
213 | - MacOS support | |
214 | - Added alignment test | |
215 | ||

225 | More synchronization with tweaks Jarkko have done to the | |
226 | bleadperl test suite. This time various EBCDIC hacks. | |
227 | ||
228 | Outside PERL_CORE the md5-aaa.t test loaded the wrong version of | |
229 | the module (and would fail if no previous Digest::MD5 was installed). | |

332 | ||
333 | Digest::MD5 will now try to fallback to the pure perl | |
334 | implementation of Digest::Perl::MD5 if bootstrap fails. | |
335 | ||
336 | Added a bit internal paranoia about casting the IV | |

360 | Release 2.07 | |
361 | ||
362 | The Digest::SHA1 module failed on some 64-bit systems, because I | |
363 | assumed there was a correspondence between the U32 size and | |
364 | BYTEORDER. This version use 'unsigned long' as Uwe's original | |
365 | SHA module did. | |
366 | ||
367 | The module should now work better when liked statically with perl, | |
368 | because we now use a safer module-loaded test in Digest.pm. | |

405 | DEC Compiler bug workaround. Contributed by D Roland Walker | |
406 | <walker@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov> | |
407 | ||
408 | Having references to a local variable called "na" was not | |

463 | The 1.99_59 release introduced compilation problems for big-endian | |

473 | Makefile.PL will run a test program to find out if U32 values can | |

475 | on Solaris and other big endian systems. Thanks to Graham Barr for | |
476 | debugging this. | |

482 | Release 1.99_58 | |
483 | ||
484 | Should be very close to a 2.00 release now. Need some success | |
485 | reports from people running on big-endian machines first I think. | |
486 | ||
487 | Added a Digest::MD2 implementation. | |
488 | ||
489 | Wrote Digest.pm documentation. This define the interface that all | |
490 | Digest:: modules should provide. | |
491 | ||
492 | Avoided some code duplication in MD5.xs | |
493 | ||
494 | Fixed typo, that prevented Digest::SHA1::sha1_base64() from working. | |
495 | ||
496 | ||
497 | ||
498 | 1998-10-27 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no> | |
499 | ||
500 | Release 1.99_57 | |
501 | ||
502 | Rewritten most of the MD5 C code to make it real fast (especially | |
503 | on little-endian machines without alignment restrictions for U32). | |
504 | Compared to MD5-1.7 we can process files 4 times as fast and we | |
505 | digest small stuff in memory 7 times faster. I came to these | |
506 | conclusions after these tests (gcc -O2, i586, Linux): | |
507 | ||
508 | First tested calculation of the digest of a 31 MB file, using | |
509 | perl -le 'print Digest::MD5->new->addfile(*STDIN)->hexdigest' | |
510 | and similar stuff: | |
511 | ||
512 | MD5-1.7: 21.06s | |
513 | Digest::MD5-1.99_57: 5.23s | |
514 | md5sum (GNU textutils): 4.90s | |
515 | ||
516 | As you can see, we do nearly as good as the md5sum program. I | |
517 | think the reason we don't beat md5sum is that perl always insist on | |
518 | loading extra modules like Config.pm, Carp.pm, strict.pm, vars.pm, | |
519 | AutoLoader.pm and DynaLoader.pm. When I simply wrapped the MD5.xs | |
520 | hasher code in a C program I managed to process the file in 4.68s. | |
521 | ||
522 | Then we calculated the digest of the same 6 byte sting, 20000 | |
523 | times: | |
524 | ||
525 | MD5-1.7: 11.81s | |
526 | Digest::MD5-1.99_57: 1.68s | |
527 | ||
528 | Digest::MD5 benefit from making this into a plain procedure call | |
529 | instead of a static method call. | |
530 | ||
531 | ||
532 | Other changes in this release are: | |
533 | ||
534 | Documentation update | |
535 | ||
536 | Internal MD5.xs cleanup. | |
537 | ||
538 | $md5->digest will automatically reset now. | |
539 | ||
540 | Digest::HMAC methods add() and addfile() did not return the | |
8be5f608 | 541 | correct object. |
3357b1b1 JH |
542 | |
543 | Added Digest.pm loading module. I am not sure this is a good idea. | |
544 | ||
545 | Added Digest::SHA1 and Digest::HMAC_SHA1 module. The Digest::SHA1 | |
546 | module is just a wrapper around SHA.pm. I hope to get the author | |
547 | of SHA.pm to move his module to the Digest:: category. | |

552 | ||
553 | Release 1.99_56 | |
554 | ||
555 | Fix memcpy_byteswap() function in MD5.xs. Must be careful with | |
556 | htovl() as it might evaluate its arguments more than once. | |
557 | ||
558 | ||
559 | ||
560 | 1998-10-25 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no> | |
561 | ||
562 | Release 1.99_55 | |
563 | ||
564 | Grahams HMAC_MD5.pm splitted into two modules. Digest::HMAC and | |
565 | Digest::HMAC_MD5. Also provide functional interface. Documentation | |
566 | is still lacking. | |
567 | ||
568 | Included RFC 2202 based test for HMAC-MD5. | |
569 | ||

572 | 1998-10-24 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no> | |
573 | ||
574 | Release 1.99_54 | |
575 | ||
576 | Included HMAC_MD5.pm, contributed by Graham Barr <gbarr@ti.com>. | |
577 | ||
578 | I have a hard time to make up my mind :-) md5_bin() renamed back | |
579 | to md5(). Functions are not exported by default any more. | |
580 | ||
581 | Try to Encode/Decode with memcpy_byteswap for 32-bit big-endian | |
582 | machines. | |
583 | ||
584 | ||
585 | ||
586 | 1998-10-23 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no> | |
587 | ||
588 | Release 1.99_53 | |
589 | ||
590 | Renamed core module as Digest::MD5. Leave a MD5.pm stub for | |
591 | legacy code. | |
592 | ||
593 | The md5() function renamed as md5_bin(). | |
594 | ||
595 | The constructor, Digest::MD5->new, no longer takes any extra | |
596 | arguments. | |
597 | ||
598 | Added some new tests. | |
599 | ||
600 | Updated the documentation. | |
601 | ||
602 | $md5->b64digest implemented with same base64 encoder as md5_base64. | |
603 | ||
604 | ||
605 | ||
606 | 1998-10-23 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no> | |
607 | ||
608 | Release 1.99_52 | |
609 | ||
610 | Patch from Graham Barr which make it work for big-endian machines | |
611 | again. | |
612 | ||
613 | ||
614 | ||
615 | 1998-10-22 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no> | |
616 | ||
617 | Release 1.99_51 | |
618 | ||
619 | The MD5 class is now subclassable. | |
620 | ||
621 | The add() and addfile() methods now return $self. | |
622 | ||
623 | The reset() method is just an alias for new(). | |
624 | ||
625 | The constructor (MD5->new) now takes optional arguments which are | |
626 | automatically added. It means that we can now write: | |
627 | ||
628 | MD5->new($data)->hexdigest; | |
629 | ||
630 | New $md5->b64digest method. | |
631 | ||
632 | New functions that are exported on request: md5, md5_hex, md5_base64 | |
633 | ||
634 | Included RFC 1321 | |
635 | ||
636 | Barely started to update the documentation. | |
637 | ||
638 | ||
639 | ||
640 | 1998-10-22 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no> | |
641 | ||
642 | Release 1.99_50 | |
643 | ||
644 | Much better performance (more than twice as fast now). Mostly | |
645 | because we use Copy/Zero instead of the original MD5_memcpy and | |
646 | MD5_memset functions. | |
647 | ||
648 | The addfile() and hexdigest() methods are now XS implemented. | |
649 | ||
650 | All RSA functions now included in MD5.xs and made static. | |
651 | ||
652 | Use perl's Copy/Zero. | |
653 | ||
654 | Random cleanup, simplifications and reformatting. | |
655 | Merged things better with the perl configuration. | |
656 | ||
657 | ||
658 | ||
659 | Neil Winton's versions below: | |
660 | ||
661 | ||
662 | *** 96/06/20 Version 1.7 | |
663 | ||
664 | MD5 is now completely 64-bit clean (I hope). The basic MD5 code uses | |
665 | 32-bit quantities and requires a typedef UINT4 to be defined in | |
666 | global.h. Perl configuration data (the value of BYTEORDER) is used to | |
667 | determine if unsigned longs have 4 or 8 bytes. On 64-bit platforms (eg | |
668 | DEC Alpha) then it assumes that "unsigned int" will be a 32-bit type. | |
669 | If this is incorrect then adding -DUINT4_IS_LONG to the DEFINES line in | |
670 | Makefile.PL will override this. | |
671 | ||
672 | On some machines (at least Cray that I know of) there is no 32-bit | |
673 | integer type. In this case defining TRUNCATE_UINT4 (which is done | |
674 | automatically for a Cray) will ensure that 64-bit values are masked | |
675 | down to 32 bits. I have done my best to test this but without easy | |
676 | access to a true 64-bit machine I can not totally guarantee it (unless | |
677 | anyone wants to lend me a spare Cray :-) | |
678 | ||
679 | There is one remaining limitation for 64-bit enabled processors. The | |
680 | amount of data passed to any single call to the underlying MD5 | |
681 | routines is limited to (2^32 - 1) bytes -- that's 4 gigabytes. I'm | |
682 | sorry if that's a real problem for you ... | |
683 | ||
8be5f608 | 684 | And finally, a minor compilation warning (unsigned char * used with |
3357b1b1 JH |
685 | function having char * prototype) has also been eliminated. |
686 | ||
687 | *** 96/04/09 Version 1.6 | |
688 | ||
689 | Re-generated module framework using h2xs to pick up the latest module | |
690 | conventions for versions etc. You can now say "use MD5 1.6;" and things | |
691 | should work correctly. MD5.pod has been integrated into MD5.pm and | |
692 | CHANGES renamed to Changes. There is a fairly comprehensive test.pl | |
693 | which can be invoked via "make test". There are no functional changes | |
694 | to the MD5 routines themselves. | |
695 | ||
696 | *** 96/03/14 Version 1.5.3 | |
697 | ||
698 | Fixed addfile method to accept type-glob references for the file-handle | |
699 | (eg \*STDOUT). This is more consistent with other routines and is now the | |
700 | recommended way of passing file-handles. The documentation now gives more | |
701 | examples as to how the routines might be used. | |
702 | ||
703 | *** 96/03/12 Version 1.5.2 | |
704 | ||
705 | Minor fixes from Christopher J Madsen <madsen@computek.net> to provide | |
8be5f608 | 706 | support for building on OS/2 (and to work around a perl -w bug). |
3357b1b1 JH |
707 | |
708 | Remove warning about possible difference between add('foo', 'bar') and | |
709 | add('foobar'). This is not true (it may have been true in the earliest | |
710 | version of the module but is no longer the case). | |
711 | ||
712 | *** 96/03/08 Version 1.5.1 | |
713 | ||
714 | Add CHANGES file to make it easier for people to figure out what has | |
715 | been going on. (Meant to do this as part of 1.5) | |
716 | ||
717 | *** 96/03/05 Version 1.5 | |
718 | ||
719 | Add hash() and hexhash() methods at the suggestion/request of Gary | |
720 | Howland <gary@kampai.euronet.nl> before inclusion in a wider library | |
721 | of cryptography modules. | |
722 | ||
723 | *** 96/02/27 Version 1.4 | |
724 | ||
725 | Finally fixed the pesky Solaris dynamic loading bug. All kudos to Ken | |
726 | Pizzini <kenp@spry.com>! | |
727 | ||
728 | *** 95/11/29 Version 1.3.1 | |
729 | ||
730 | Add explanations of current known problems. | |
731 | ||
732 | *** 95/06/02 Version 1.3 | |
733 | ||
734 | Fix problems with scope resolution in addfile() reported by | |
735 | Jean-Claude Giese <Jean-Claude.Giese@loria.fr>. Basically ARGV is | |
736 | always implicitly in package main while other filehandles aren't. | |
737 | ||
738 | *** 95/05/23 Version 1.2.1 | |
739 | ||
740 | [Changes pre 1.2.1 not recorded] |
