5.31 Mon Sep 5 00:52:42 MST 2005
- added standard tests for pod and pod-coverage checking
- inserted subtest to check for failure when using
unrecognized SHA algorithm
5.30 Sat Aug 20 16:46:08 MST 2005
- updated docs with recent NIST statement on SHA-1
-- advises use of larger and stronger hash functions
(i.e. SHA-224/256/384/512) for new developments
5.29 Sun Aug 14 04:48:34 MST 2005
- added explicit casts in "shaload" routine (ref. "ldvals")
-- thanks to E. Allen Smith for pointing out SGI compiler
warnings on IPxx-irix platforms
- updated docs with cautionary note about SHA-1
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
Change log:
5.28 Wed Nov 10 15:33:20 MST 2004
- provided more flexible formatting of SHA state files
-- entries may now contain embedded whitespace
for improved readability
- minor code cleanups
Collection.
The Perl 5 module Digest::SHA is a complete implementation of the
NIST Secure Hash Standard. It gives Perl programmers a convenient
way to calculate SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512
message digests. The module can handle all types of input, including
partial-byte data.
