- updated META.yml to conform to current META spec (1.3)
- minor documentation fixes

Changes since version 5.43:
===========================
5.44 Sat Oct 14 00:42:44 MST 2006
- removed SIGNATURE file from distribution
-- spurious errors from CPANPLUS can break build
- eliminated ppport.h header file
-- significantly reduces size of distribution

-- thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for patch
This resolves PR pkg/34407 by Martin Wilke.
Pkgsrc changes:
- took maintainership
Changes since version 5.41:
===========================
5.43 Sat Aug 5 02:36:18 MST 2006
- undid Perl Best Practice of favoring 3-argument "open"
-- 3-arg version uses different semantics for "-"
causing bugs in addfile and shasum
- modified underlying C functions to use ANSI prototypes
-- requested by Steve Hay (ref. Smoke [5.9.4] 28630)
-- K&R style was causing numerous warnings from
Borland compiler
5.42 Mon Jul 24 04:04:40 MST 2006
- minor code changes suggested by Perl::Critic
-- e.g. no bareword filehandles, no 2-argument open's
- updated public key (ref. B538C51C)
-- previous one (0AF563FE) expired July 2, 2006
- added documentation to warn that Base64 digests are NOT padded
-- padding must be done by user if interoperability
with other software is required
Pkgsrc changes:
- none
Relevant changes since version 5.31:
====================================
- modified addfile to accept indirect filehandles
-- ref. rt.cpan.org #19627 and #19641
- modified shasum to warn rather than die for file errors
-- to follow conventions of GNU sha1sum/md5sum
- added new capabilities to the "addfile" method
-- now able to accept file names as well as handles
-- includes mode for portable digest calculation
-- thanks to Adam Kennedy for emails and ideas
ref. File::LocalizeNewlines
- used expanded addfile interface to simplify shasum (sumfile)
-- regex a tad less general than 5.37, but handles all
known newline variants in UNIX/Windows/MacOS
- enhanced WARNING messages from shasum checkfile processing
-- to mimic behavior of md5sum
- improved error handling of checksum files in shasum
-- to better mimic the behavior of md5sum
- refined line-break regex in shasum (ref. sub sumfile)
-- catches multiple CR's preceding LF
thanks to Gisle Aas for suggested patch
- changed loop vars to signed int's in shadump (ref. src/sha.c)
-- to prevent type mismatch warnings
- added "portable" option to shasum
-- to make digests match across Windows/Unix/MacOS
- enabled bundling of shasum command line options
-- to mimic behavior of md5sum
- removed \r's from text files in t/nist directory
-- resolves SIGNATURE clashes (rt.cpan.org #18983)
- changed suffix on SHA64_MAX (src/sha.h) to ULL
-- eliminates gcc warnings (rt.cpan.org #18988)
- specified minimum Perl version for module and Makefile.PL
-- closes rt.cpan.org #18984
- made minor code changes to silence compiler warnings
-- resulting from signed/unsigned integer mixing
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
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.
