Civic-sjcl is a fork of SJCL pre-built with the ecc module. The reason for this fork is to allow us to include the precompiled output in civic repositories without having to either manually compile on install or create local modules with the precompiled verison. This fork ensures all civic repos use the same version of sjcl.js.
It is important that this fork stays up-to-date with the original upstream repo, to ensure we get the latest security updates. To update from the remote upstream, developers should set the following remote upstream in their local checked-out repo:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/bitwiseshiftleft/sjcl
To merge from the upstream remote:
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
Make sure to keep tags up to date with the upstream remote.

codecBase32 has been re-enabled with changes to conform to RFC 4648:
- Padding with
=is now applied to the output offromBits. If you don't want that padding, you can disable it by callingfromBitswith a second parameter oftrueor anything that evaluates as "truthy" in JS - The encoding alphabet for
sjcl.codec.base32now matches that specified by the RFC, rather than the extended hex alphabet. - The former extended hex alphabet is now available through
sjcl.codec.base32hex(also matching the RFC). So if you encoded something withbase32before, you'll want to decode it withbase32hexnow.
