CHANGELOG.rst

Changelog

1.0.2 - 2015-09-27

• SECURITY ISSUE: The OpenSSL backend prior to 1.0.2 made extensive use of assertions to check response codes where our tests could not trigger a failure. However, when Python is run with -O these asserts are optimized away. If a user ran Python with this flag and got an invalid response code this could result in undefined behavior or worse. Accordingly, all response checks from the OpenSSL backend have been converted from assert to a true function call. Credit Emilia Käsper (Google Security Team) for the report.

1.0.1 - 2015-09-05

• We now ship OS X wheels that statically link OpenSSL by default. When installing a wheel on OS X 10.10+ (and using a Python compiled against the 10.10 SDK) users will no longer need to compile. See :doc:`/installation` for alternate installation methods if required.
• Set the default string mask to UTF-8 in the OpenSSL backend to resolve character encoding issues with older versions of OpenSSL.
• Several new OpenSSL bindings have been added to support a future pyOpenSSL release.
• Raise an error during install on PyPy < 2.6. 1.0+ requires PyPy 2.6+.

1.0 - 2015-08-12

• Switched to the new cffi set_source out-of-line API mode for compilation. This results in significantly faster imports and lowered memory consumption. Due to this change we no longer support PyPy releases older than 2.6 nor do we support any released version of PyPy3 (until a version supporting cffi 1.0 comes out).
• Fix parsing of OpenSSH public keys that have spaces in comments.
• Support serialization of certificate signing requests using the public_bytes method of :class:`~cryptography.x509.CertificateSigningRequest`.
• Support serialization of certificates using the public_bytes method of :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate`.
• Add get_provisioning_uri method to :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.twofactor.hotp.HOTP` and :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.twofactor.totp.TOTP` for generating provisioning URIs.
• Add :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.concatkdf.ConcatKDFHash` and :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.concatkdf.ConcatKDFHMAC`.
• Raise a TypeError when passing objects that are not text as the value to :class:`~cryptography.x509.NameAttribute`.
• Add support for :class:`~cryptography.x509.OtherName` as a general name type.
• Added new X.509 extension support in :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate` The following new extensions are now supported:
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.OCSPNoCheck`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.InhibitAnyPolicy`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.IssuerAlternativeName`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.NameConstraints`
• Extension support was added to :class:`~cryptography.x509.CertificateSigningRequest`.

  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.BasicConstraints`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.SubjectAlternativeName`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.KeyUsage`

  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.OCSPNoCheck`
• Add support for creating certificate signing requests with :class:`~cryptography.x509.CertificateSigningRequestBuilder`. This includes support for the same extensions supported in the CertificateBuilder.
• Deprecate encode_rfc6979_signature and decode_rfc6979_signature in favor of :func:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.utils.encode_dss_signature` and :func:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.utils.decode_dss_signature`.

0.9.3 - 2015-07-09

• Updated Windows wheels to be compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.2d.

0.9.2 - 2015-07-04

• Updated Windows wheels to be compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.2c.

0.9.1 - 2015-06-06

• SECURITY ISSUE: Fixed a double free in the OpenSSL backend when using DSA to verify signatures. Note that this only affects PyPy 2.6.0 and (presently unreleased) CFFI versions greater than 1.1.0.

0.9 - 2015-05-13

• Removed support for Python 3.2. This version of Python is rarely used and caused support headaches. Users affected by this should upgrade to 3.3+.

• Deprecated support for Python 2.6. At the time there is no time table for actually dropping support, however we strongly encourage all users to upgrade their Python, as Python 2.6 no longer receives support from the Python core team.

• Add support for the :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.SECP256K1` elliptic curve.

• Fixed compilation when using an OpenSSL which was compiled with the no-comp (OPENSSL_NO_COMP) option.

• Support :attr:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.Encoding.DER` serialization of private keys using the private_bytes method of :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.RSAPrivateKeyWithSerialization`, :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPrivateKeyWithSerialization`, and :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePrivateKeyWithSerialization`.

• Add support for parsing X.509 certificate signing requests (CSRs) with :func:`~cryptography.x509.load_pem_x509_csr` and :func:`~cryptography.x509.load_der_x509_csr`.

• Moved cryptography.exceptions.InvalidToken to :class:`cryptography.hazmat.primitives.twofactor.InvalidToken` and deprecated the old location. This was moved to minimize confusion between this exception and :class:`cryptography.fernet.InvalidToken`.

• Added support for X.509 extensions in :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate` objects. The following extensions are supported as of this release:

  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.BasicConstraints`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.AuthorityKeyIdentifier`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.SubjectKeyIdentifier`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.KeyUsage`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.SubjectAlternativeName`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.ExtendedKeyUsage`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.CRLDistributionPoints`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.AuthorityInformationAccess`
  • :class:`~cryptography.x509.CertificatePolicies`

  Note that unsupported extensions with the critical flag raise :class:`~cryptography.x509.UnsupportedExtension` while unsupported extensions set to non-critical are silently ignored. Read the :doc:`X.509 documentation</x509/index>` for more information.

• Fixed an issue where OpenSSL 1.0.1j changed the errors returned by some functions.
• Added our license file to the cryptography-vectors package.
• Implemented DSA hash truncation support (per FIPS 186-3) in the OpenSSL backend. This works around an issue in 1.0.0, 1.0.0a, and 1.0.0b where truncation was not implemented.

0.6 - 2014-09-29
