v0.16.3

It is now possible to construct a LockedBuffer object directly from an io.Reader.

Added

func NewBufferFromReader(r io.Reader, size int) *LockedBuffer { /* ... */ }
func NewBufferFromReaderUntil(r io.Reader, delim byte) *LockedBuffer { /* ... */ }

Reading from standard input is now trivially:

b := NewBufferFromReaderUntil(os.Stdin, '\n')

v0.16.2

#87

v0.16.1

Patch a bug in the computation of the canary size. Related: #86

v0.16.0

This release includes breaking changes.

The highlight of this version is the ability to store sensitive information in encrypted form, decrypting it when and where it is immediately needed. There are lots of other changes introduced in this version. See the documentation for more details: https://godoc.org/github.com/awnumar/memguard

v0.15.1

Replaced MADV_DONTDUMP with MADV_NOCORE on FreeBSD systems. Related issue: #82

v0.15.0

• Re-add the WipeBytes function with a warning of its potential limitations added to its documentation.

v0.14.0

This release adds support for extra datatypes, i.e. alternative ways of representing the data stored in a LockedBuffer. This is accomplished via the following new methods:

func (b *LockedBuffer) Uint8() ([]uint8, error)
func (b *LockedBuffer) Uint16() ([]uint16, error)
func (b *LockedBuffer) Uint32() ([]uint32, error)
func (b *LockedBuffer) Uint64() ([]uint64, error)

func (b *LockedBuffer) Int8() ([]int8, error)
func (b *LockedBuffer) Int16() ([]int16, error)
func (b *LockedBuffer) Int32() ([]int32, error)
func (b *LockedBuffer) Int64() ([]int64, error)

v0.13.3

• We now use the MAP_NOCORE flag when mmaping on FreeBSD.
• When allocating memory, we fill the entire region with 0xdb bytes to allow for easier debugging of issues related to uninitialized data.
• Switched to using golang/dep for dependency management.

v0.13.2

• Fix issue raised in #45 by handling OpenBSD syscalls explicitly.
• Use MAP_PRIVATE on Unixesque systems.

v0.13.1

• Use internal methods to avoid mutex conflicts in the future.
• Encourage vendoring dependencies. Recommend Glide.
