Cryptography

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Marked all symbols as hidden in the ``manylinux1`` wheel to avoid a
bug with symbol resolution in certain scenarios.


.. _v2-0-1:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Fixed a compilation bug affecting OpenBSD.
* Altered the ``manylinux1`` wheels to statically link OpenSSL instead of
dynamically linking and bundling the shared object. This should resolve
crashes seen when using ``uwsgi`` or other binaries that link against
OpenSSL independently.
* Fixed the stack level for the ``signer`` and ``verifier`` warnings.


.. _v2-0:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** Support for Python 3.3 has been dropped.
* We now ship ``manylinux1`` wheels linked against OpenSSL 1.1.0f. These wheels
will be automatically used with most Linux distributions if you are running
the latest pip.
* Deprecated the use of ``signer`` on
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.RSAPrivateKey`,
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPrivateKey`,
and
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePrivateKey`
in favor of ``sign``.
* Deprecated the use of ``verifier`` on
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.RSAPublicKey`,
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPublicKey`,
and
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePublicKey`
in favor of ``verify``.
* Added support for parsing
:class:`~cryptography.x509.certificate_transparency.SignedCertificateTimestamp`
objects from X.509 certificate extensions.
* Added support for
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead.ChaCha20Poly1305`.
* Added support for
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead.AESCCM`.
* Added
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead.AESGCM`, a "one shot"
API for AES GCM encryption.
* Added support for :doc:`/hazmat/primitives/asymmetric/x25519`.
* Added support for serializing and deserializing Diffie-Hellman parameters
with
:func:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.load_pem_parameters`,
:func:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.load_der_parameters`,
and
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dh.DHParameters.parameter_bytes`
.
* The ``extensions`` attribute on :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate`,
:class:`~cryptography.x509.CertificateSigningRequest`,
:class:`~cryptography.x509.CertificateRevocationList`, and
:class:`~cryptography.x509.RevokedCertificate` now caches the computed
``Extensions`` object. There should be no performance change, just a
performance improvement for programs accessing the ``extensions`` attribute
multiple times.


.. _v1-9:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** Elliptic Curve signature verification no longer
returns ``True`` on success. This brings it in line with the interface's
documentation, and our intent. The correct way to use
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePublicKey.verify`
has always been to check whether or not
:class:`~cryptography.exceptions.InvalidSignature` was raised.
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** Dropped support for macOS 10.7 and 10.8.
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** The minimum supported PyPy version is now 5.3.
* Python 3.3 support has been deprecated, and will be removed in the next
``cryptography`` release.
* Add support for providing ``tag`` during
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.modes.GCM` finalization via
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.AEADDecryptionContext.finalize_with_tag`.
* Fixed an issue preventing ``cryptography`` from compiling against
LibreSSL 2.5.x.
* Added
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePublicKey.key_size`
and
:meth:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePrivateKey.key_size`
as convenience methods for determining the bit size of a secret scalar for
the curve.
* Accessing an unrecognized extension marked critical on an X.509 object will
no longer raise an ``UnsupportedExtension`` exception, instead an
:class:`~cryptography.x509.UnrecognizedExtension` object will be returned.
This behavior was based on a poor reading of the RFC, unknown critical
extensions only need to be rejected on certificate verification.
* The CommonCrypto backend has been removed.
* MultiBackend has been removed.
* ``Whirlpool`` and ``RIPEMD160`` have been deprecated.


.. _v1-8-2:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Fixed a compilation bug affecting OpenSSL 1.1.0f.
* Updated Windows and macOS wheels to be compiled against OpenSSL 1.1.0f.


.. _v1-8-1:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Fixed macOS wheels to properly link against 1.1.0 rather than 1.0.2.
