===============

## 0.7.5 - 2018-03-30

### Fixed
- Remove use of `const`.

## 0.7.4 - 2018-03-07

### Fixed
- Potential regex denial of service in form.js.

### Added
- Support for ED25519.
- Support for baseN/base58.

## 0.7.3 - 2018-03-05

- Re-publish with npm 5.6.0 due to file timestamp issues.

## 0.7.2 - 2018-02-27

- Support verification of SHA-384 certificates.
- `1.2.840.10040.4.3'`/`dsa-with-sha1` OID.

### Fixed

- Fortuna implementation bugs.

## 0.7.1 - 2017-03-27

### Fixed

- Fix digestLength for hashes based on SHA-512.

## 0.7.0 - 2017-02-07

### Fixed

- Fix test looping bugs so all tests are run.
- Improved ASN.1 parsing. Many failure cases eliminated. More sanity checks.
  Better behavior in default mode of parsing BIT STRINGs. Better handling of
  parsed BIT STRINGs in `toDer()`. More tests.
- Improve X.509 BIT STRING handling by using new capture modes.

### Changed

- Major refactor to use CommonJS plus a browser build system.
- Updated tests, examples, docs.
- Updated dependencies.
- Updated flash build system.
- Improve OID mapping code.
- Change test servers from Python to JavaScript.
- Improve PhantomJS support.
- Move Bower/bundle support to
  [forge-dist](https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge-dist).
- **BREAKING**: Require minimal digest algorithm dependencies from individual
  modules.
- Enforce currently supported bit param values for byte buffer access. May be
  **BREAKING** for code that depended on unspecified and/or incorrect behavior.
- Improve `asn1.prettyPrint()` BIT STRING display.

### Added

- webpack bundler support via `npm run build`:
  - Builds `.js`, `.min.js`, and basic sourcemaps.
  - Basic build: `forge.js`.
  - Build with extra utils and networking support: `forge.all.js`.
  - Build WebWorker support: `prime.worker.js`.
- Browserify support in package.json.
- Karma browser testing.
- `forge.options` field.
- `forge.options.usePureJavaScript` flag.
- `forge.util.isNodejs` flag (used to select "native" APIs).
- Run PhantomJS tests in Travis-CI.
- Add "Donations" section to README.
- Add IRC to "Contact" section of README.
- Add "Security Considerations" section to README.
- Add pbkdf2 usePureJavaScript test.
- Add rsa.generateKeyPair async and usePureJavaScript tests.
- Add .editorconfig support.
- Add `md.all.js` which includes all digest algorithms.
- Add asn1 `equals()` and `copy()`.
- Add asn1 `validate()` capture options for BIT STRING contents and value.

### Removed

- **BREAKING**: Can no longer call `forge({...})` to create new instances.
- Remove a large amount of old cruft.

### Migration from 0.6.x to 0.7.x

- (all) If you used the feature to create a new forge instance with new
  configuration options you will need to rework your code. That ability has
  been removed due to implementation complexity. The main rare use was to set
  the option to use pure JavaScript. That is now available as a library global
  flag `forge.options.usePureJavaScript`.
- (npm,bower) If you used the default main file there is little to nothing to
  change.
- (npm) If you accessed a sub-resource like `forge/js/pki` you should either
  switch to just using the main `forge` and access `forge.pki` or update to
  `forge/lib/pki`.
- (bower) If you used a sub-resource like `forge/js/pki` you should switch to
  just using `forge` and access `forge.pki`. The bower release bundles
  everything in one minified file.
- (bower) A configured workerScript like
  `/bower_components/forge/js/prime.worker.js` will need to change to
  `/bower_components/forge/dist/prime.worker.min.js`.
- (all) If you used the networking support or flash socket support, you will
  need to use a custom build and/or adjust where files are loaded from. This
  functionality is not included in the bower distribution by default and is
  also now in a different directory.
- (all) The library should now directly support building custom bundles with
  webpack, browserify, or similar.
- (all) If building a custom bundle ensure the correct dependencies are
  included. In particular, note there is now a `md.all.js` file to include all
  digest algorithms. Individual files limit what they include by default to
  allow smaller custom builds. For instance, `pbdkf2.js` has a `sha1` default
  but does not include any algorithm files by default. This allows the
  possibility to include only `sha256` without the overhead of `sha1` and
  `sha512`.

### Notes

- This major update requires updating the version to 0.7.x. The existing
  work-in-progress "0.7.x" branch will be painfully rebased on top of this new
  0.7.x and moved forward to 0.8.x or later as needed.
- 0.7.x is a start of simplifying forge based on common issues and what has
  appeared to be the most common usage. Please file issues with feedback if the
  changes are problematic for your use cases.

## 0.6.x - 2016 and earlier
