| 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 |

| 362 | The Digest::SHA1 module failed on some 64-bit systems, because I |

| 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 |

| 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. |

| 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 |
| 541 | correct object. |
| 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 | |
| 570 | |
| 571 | |
| 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 | |
| 684 | And finally, a minor compilation warning (unsigned char * used with |
| 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 |
| 706 | support for building on OS/2 (and to work around a perl -w bug). |
| 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] |
