0.4.1

Not secure
No changes in functionality over v0.4.0 but using zxcvbn-covert from PyPi rather than from Github.

0.4.0

Not secure
What's Changed
* Implemented a slightly better message editor. by covert-encryption in https://github.com/covert-encryption/covert/pull/18
* Automatic copy&paste support by `-A` by covert-encryption in https://github.com/covert-encryption/covert/pull/20
* Depend on our own zxcvbn fork that fixes bugs the upstream is ignoring. by covert-encryption in https://github.com/covert-encryption/covert/pull/19
* File signing and signature verification. by covert-encryption in https://github.com/covert-encryption/covert/pull/21
* CLI help text clarified
* Arrow keys now function correctly in Windows Terminal which uses different escapes than other terminals on Windows that we were testing on before

Expect this version to be a bumpy ride, as many new and quite experimental features as well as new dependencies have been added. The signature implementation is not final but it works. The sender needs to use `-i` to specify on or more identities to sign with, and then the receiver will automatically verify them. Public keys are embedded in signed files, so the receiver does not have to have those.

0.2.1

Not secure
What's Changed
* MiniSign key support added
* ASCII armoring changed to use standard Base64 to make detection harder and to avoid formatting issues
* The armored output has triple backticks (code block tags) printed around it on console (which are not part of the message and are ignored if still pasted back)
* Auth token scheme redesigned to be simpler and shorter (only 32 bytes header per recipient, keeping the old 12 byte short mode for single password and wide-open). The maximum number of recipients increased to 20.
* Ensure that all authentication tokens are unique, also for repeated public keys
* Documentation updates, added a page on security
* Fix tests
