= Release v3.1.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*.

== Added ==

* Add Base58 encoder, and some example usages like creating signed API
  keys.
* Add utility function to generate a secure secret:
  `blake2signer.utils.generate_secret`.
* Add `create-archives` Invoke task, to aide on signing releases.

== Changed ==

* Always mock current time on timestamp signers tests, which makes
  testing timestamp-related signers easier, and less error-prone.
* Fix Invoke tests task cancellation: prevent one test command failure
  to cancel the execution of the rest, thus still having a `report.xml`
  file generated, while exiting with the proper error code.
* Change the fuzz task to allow selecting a specific signer.
* Change fuzz CI job to fuzz all signers in parallel.

= Release v3.0.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*.

== Added ==

* Add new create signed tag Invoke task.

== Removed ==

* Drop Python 3.7.

== Changed ==

* Update dev dependencies.
* Improve Invoke tasks with type hints.
* Improve docs and docstrings grammar and wording.
* Normalize file-related operations to use bytes, so we can default to
  open the file in binary mode for better performance.
* `force_bytes` and `force_string` utility functions now only accept
  either `bytes` or `str`, and raises `TypeError` otherwise. However,
  signers usages are not affected by this.
* Upgrade docs Python version to 3.10.

= Release v2.5.3 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

Note: This is the last version supporting Python 3.7!

== Changed ==

* Update dev, and docs dependencies.
* Update test runner in the CI for Python 3.12, 3.13-pre and PyPy 3.10.
* Update new version release guide in docs to use minisign.
* Replace deprecated pkg_resources with importlib.
* Replace deprecated datetime.utcnow in Invoke tasks.
* Other minor linting changes due to linter updates.

= Release v2.5.2 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Add missing keywords in pyproject.toml.

== Removed ==

* Remove invoke patch for Python 3.11+: it's been fixed now, so it's no
  longer needed.

== Changed ==

* Improve some docs.
* Update dev, and docs dependencies.

== Fixed ==

* Fix issue with mkdocstrings and blake3.

= Release v2.5.1 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Patch Invoke so it works under Python 3.11+.

== Changed ==

* Improve the fuzzing script, add instructions on running it, and add
  it as a CI job for releases.
* Change the usage of AnyStr in signer's public methods with
  Union[str, bytes], which is not the same, and they are not generally
  interchangeably like this, but for this particular usage Union makes
  more sense, and MyPy seems to agree with this.
* Several improvements in the CI: fixed coverage report, updated
  Python versions and Poetry, added fuzzing, etc.
* Update dev dependencies.

= Release v2.5.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Add valid unsigned data to the `ExpiredSignatureError` exception:
  even if the signature is expired, its unsigned value is valid and
  safe, so now it can be used.
* Add new linters: pylint, and perflint.

== Changed ==

* Move docs to its own environment, due to some incompatibility between
  dev dependencies. This results in better handling of docs
  dependencies, using Poetry.
* Several docs, and docstrings improvements.

== Security ==

* Implement `minisign` to sign all release packages, and tags (using
  `git-minisign`), instead of `PGP`.
* Run `safety` scanner over docs dependencies too.

= Release v2.4.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Add tests to ensure compatibility, or not, with previous versions.

== Changed ==

* Allow `max_age` to be None for the Blake2TimestampSigner: the
  timestamp is then not checked (but the signature is always checked).

= Release v2.3.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Add support for signing secret rotation: now it supports receiving a
  sequence of secrets instead of a single one, considering them ordered
  from oldest to newest, so that signatures are made with the newest
  secret but verifications are done using all of them.
* Add dev tool `darglint` to help checking docstrings consistency with
  the code, and consequently improve docstrings adding missing parts.

= Release v2.2.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Add support for BLAKE3 through third-party package `blake3`, which
  are bindings to the homonym Rust package (ported by one of the
  algorithm's author).

== Changed ==

* Several docs content improvements.
* Marginal performance improvement by changing frozen dataclasses for
  named tuples.

= Release v2.1.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Changed ==

* Unhardcode default compression level, which was hardcoded to 6. That
  value was set for Zlib and remain there since the old times. Make the
  default `None` so we can let the compressor set the right value.

= Release v2.0.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Allow changing encoder in every signer: previously only
  Blake2SerializerSigner accepted encoders other than b64, yet not
  totally: the signature was always b64 URL safe encoded. This required
  a slight refactor splitting the signers module into bases and
  signers.
* Add new base32 encoder.
* Add check to ensure that the separator does not belong to the encoder
  alphabet.
* Add new hex (base16) encoder.
* Add check to ensure that the separator and compressor flag are ASCII
  characters to prevent encoding errors when converting from bytes to
  string.
* Add new gzip compressor.
* Add new null serializer: a serializer that doesn't actually
  serializes. It can be useful when you need to manage bytes or
  strings, but you want to compress too, therefore being able to use
  the Blake2SerializerSigner for this.
* Add check to ensure that the separator and compressor flag are not
  empty.
* Add check to ensure that the encoder alphabet is ASCII and not empty.
* Add signature timestamp to `ExpiredSignatureError` exception in new
  `timestamp` parameter as an aware datetime object.
* Add new dump/load interface in `Blake2SerializerSigner` for file-like
  objects.
* Add argument to `Blake2SerializerSigner.dumps()` to pass keyword
  arguments to the serializer.
* Add documentation with mkdocs, and a nice title with logo (many
  thanks to Erus).
* Add new methods to obtain data and signature separately for all
  signers: `sign_parts`/`unsign_parts` and `dumps_parts`/
  `loads_parts`.
* Create a security scanning job using Trivy.
* Add a job to test support for PyPy 3.7.
* Add a job to test support for Stackless Python 3.7.

== Changed ==

* Split classes between mixins and interfaces; also serializers,
  compressors and encoders, which are implementations of interfaces.
  This smooths the way to have several different implementors and to
  actually be able to change the entire encoding in the future
  (currently the signature is always b64 URL safe encoded even if the
  encoder is changed in Blake2SerializerSigner).
* Set default digest size for all signers to 16 bytes, so the output
  and functioning is more homogeneous.
* Make compression flag and ratio an instance attribute.
* Make separator an instance attribute.
* Change type annotations for secret, personalisation, separator and
  compression_flag to show support for bytes and string as it has
  always been supported.
* Improve force_bytes performance by not casting bytes to bytes, and
  change its signature to accept any.
* Rename `use_compression` to `compress` because it's shorter and
  easier to write, and more tab-autocompletion friendly.
* Recover cause in all exceptions for easier debugging. This was not
  done before on purpose to hide information in case a misconfiguration
  in the implementor application would expose said information to the
  public, but the benefits of having a cause traceback to the original
  exception are too many to not have it.
* Split tests by module or class to avoid having a giant single file
  with all the tests in it.
* Marginally improve performance, around ~4% less time, to sign and
  unsign by removing unneeded calls to `force_bytes` when encoding/
  decoding.

== Security ==

* Prevent timestamped signatures "from the future" to pass as correct
  by checking the signature age to be bigger than 0.
* Create a fuzzing script using `pythonfuzz` to uncover unexpected
  bugs.
* Fix a potential vulnerability when the `NullSerializer` was used and
  the user could sign arbitrary data, then a malicious user could sign
  a zip bomb that when unsigned could cause at best a controlled
  `DecompressionError` exception or at worst a DoS or other unknown
  result (depends heavily on the compressor used). This scenario is not
  default and probably very hard to achieve (it can't be produced with
  the `JSONSerializer` but it could perhaps be produced by some other
  custom serializer too), but nevertheless the possibility was there.

= Release v1.2.1 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Add jobs to publish python packages automatically.

== Fixed ==

* Fix wrong exception being raised in
  Blake2TimestampSignerBase._decode_timestamp().

= Release v1.2.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Add setting to allow deterministic signatures, but keep default of
  non-deterministic ones.

= Release v1.1.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Add new `force_compression` parameter in
  `Blake2SerializerSigner.dumps()` to expose existing capability to
  force data compression.

== Changed ==

* Change execution order of steps to publish a package in Contrib, to
  allow room for fixes after publishing to testpypi.
* Reworded and fixed some typos in Readme.
* Change wording in DecodeError and EncodeError to abstract them from
  base 64 URL safe.
* Change `Blake2TimestampSignerBase._split_timestamp()` to decode the
  timestamp directly. It made some noise that after splitting one
  needed to decode the timestamp to actually use it.

== Security ==

* Update dev dependencies, one of which (*safety*) had a security
  vulnerability because of a dependency (urllib3).

= Release v1.0.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Added ==

* Add a logo and icons for the project (many thanks to NoonSleeper).
* Add index to readme.
* Add again flake8-annotations-complexity since it now works in Python 3.9+.

== Changed ==

* Updated dependencies.
* Use debian-based images in CI to run tests, prventing package building
  wreckage and improving run time (there's no need to build given most
  packages publish a wheel artifact).

= Release v0.5.1 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Fixed ==

* The idea of 66ebeff was to accept the hasher parameter also as string,
  but the implementation and type hints were wrong. Fixed it and added
  corresponding tests (mental note: avoid releasing new versions at
  Saturday midnight).

= Release v0.5.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*

== Removed ==

* Remove `flake8-annotations-complexity` because it is failing in
  Python 3.9 (there's a bug report already filled for this and a new
  release should come soon).

== Added ==

* Create jobs to tests this lib under different Python versions.
* Add usage examples in classes docstrings.

== Changed ==

* Renamed enum `Hashers_` to `HasherChoice` and subclass it from string.
* Update dev dependencies.

== Fixed ==

* Bring back Python 3.7 compatibility by removing the use of TypedDict
  which was unneeded.

= Release v0.4.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*.

== Added ==

* Create new parameter to set compression level in `dumps` for `Blake2SerializerSigner`.
* When compressing check if there's a benefit to it and if not skip it in `dumps` for `Blake2SerializerSigner`.

== Changed ==

* Blake2Serializer was renamed to Blake2SerializerSigner because of reasons.
* The signature is base64 encoded.
* The timestamp is base64 encoded.
* The salt is generated and used as base64 data to avoid needing to decode it when checking the signature.
* Use a symbol to separate composite signature from timestamp and data.
* Verify the signature before decoding.
* Rename `person` parameter to `personalisation`.
* Rename `key` parameter to `secret`.
* Derive actual key from `secret` and `person` in all classes.
* Force bytes in all inputs.
* Set minimum digest size of 16 (was 8).
* Always concatenate personalisation value with the class name to prevent signed data misuse.
* Refactor exceptions to make them make sense and be more usable.
* Improve docstrings descriptions and properly document exceptions.
* Refactor classes into abstracts and mixins so that end users can create their own implementations easily.
* Change compression flag to a dot.
* Some other minor changes regarding public/private API so that the only public methods are `sign`/`unsign` and `loads`/`dumps`.

= Release v0.3.0 =

*All release tags are signed, and release packages are also signed*.
*Always check signatures prior using this software*.

== Added ==

* Initial release as a package.

== Changed ==

* Use compact JSON encoding in `Blake2Serializer` class.
* Change `Blake2Serializer` interface from sign/unsign to dumps/loads.
* Move compression to dumps and mark it in the stream (this seems to
  prevent zip bombs).
* Force inputs as bytes.
