v2.21, 23.09.2016
- no code changes to ECB.pm
- ecb.pl -l now prints module versions
- ignoring Serpent in test suite as it is broken on many platforms
v2.20, 30.03.2016
- made passing a custom padding method possible without specifying a cipher before
- added verifying correct truncation of custom padding methods
- added verifying padded bytes when truncating (for standard and zeroes padding)
- added testing encrypt_hex and decrypt_hex function style
- added testing start-crypt-finish
- added testing usage of pre-existing cipher objects
- updated eg/ecb.pl to recognize cipher modules in the Crypt::OpenSSL namespace
- added option to eg/ecb.pl to print the Crypt::ECB version used
- changed license again, to GPL or Artistic
Upstream changes:
v2.15, 14.03.2016
- removing caching with v2.00 made Crypt::ECB ignorant of key changes
within the same Crypt::ECB object. Fixed, changing the key now
forces a new cipher object to be created.
- added some notes on upgrading from versions before v2.00 to the README
v2.10, 07.03.2016
- forgot another change in the v2.00 changelog...
- changed license from GPL to Artistic
- improved kwalitee:
- added license information to meta files
- removed test.pl
- added eg/ecb.pl (command line en- and decryption)
- added dummy cipher, so the test suite makes sense even if there are no block ciphers installed
- refactored test data from test scripts
v2.05, 04.03.2016
- make Crypt:ECB work under perl-5.8.* again
- some changes actually made in v2.00 haven't been mentioned in the changelog
- add some more block ciphers to the test suite
- minor changes in test.pl
- minor documentation update
v2.00, 19.02.2016
- better compatibility with current Crypt::CBC:
- allow passing options like Crypt::CBC does (new and old styles)
- allow passing an existing cipher object (RT bug 112020)
- added padding styles, including custom padding
- added methods for accessing keysize and blocksize of a cipher
- remove caching; the feature did finally not seem to make much sense
- use Test::More (thanks to Xavier Guimard for providing a patch, RT bug 82301)
- changed internal attribute names (foo -> _foo and Foo -> foo)
- much more internal code cleanup
- updated documentation

Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
This is Crypt::ECB, a Perl-only implementation of the ECB mode. In
combination with a block cipher such as DES, IDEA or Blowfish, you can encrypt
and decrypt messages of arbitrarily long length. Though for security reasons
other modes than ECB such as CBC should be preferred. See textbooks on
cryptography if you want to know why.
In addition to this module you will need to install one or more of the
Crypt::DES, Crypt::IDEA, or Crypt::Blowfish modules.
