17.0.0 (2017-05-23)
-------------------
Deprecations:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Since Chrome 58 and Firefox 48 both don't accept certificates that contain only a Common Name, its usage is hereby deprecated in ``service_identity`` too.
We have been raising a warning since 16.0.0 and the support will be removed in mid-2018 for good.
Changes:
^^^^^^^^
- When ``service_identity.SubjectAltNameWarning`` is raised, the Common Name of the certificate is now included in the warning message.
`#17 <https://github.com/pyca/service_identity/pull/17>`_
- Added ``cryptography.x509`` backend for verifying certificates.
`#18 <https://github.com/pyca/service_identity/pull/18>`_
- Wildcards (``*``) are now only allowed if they are the leftmost label in a certificate.
This is common practice by all major browsers.
`#19 <https://github.com/pyca/service_identity/pull/19>`_
16.0.0 (2016-02-18)
-------------------
Backward-incompatible changes:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Python 3.3 and 2.6 aren't supported anymore.
They may work by chance but any effort to keep them working has ceased.
The last Python 2.6 release was on October 29, 2013 and isn't supported by the CPython core team anymore.
Major Python packages like Django and Twisted dropped Python 2.6 a while ago already.
Python 3.3 never had a significant user base and wasn't part of any distribution's LTS release.
- pyOpenSSL versions older than 0.14 are not tested anymore.
They don't even build with recent OpenSSL versions.
Changes:
^^^^^^^^
- Officially support Python 3.5.
- ``service_identity.SubjectAltNameWarning`` is now raised if the server certicate lacks a proper ``SubjectAltName``.
[`#9 <https://github.com/pyca/service_identity/issues/9>`_]
- Add a ``__str__`` method to ``VerificationError``.
- Port from ``characteristic`` to its spiritual successor `attrs <https://attrs.readthedocs.org/>`_.
service_identity aspires to give you all the tools you need for
verifying whether a certificate is valid for the intended purposes.
In the simplest case, this means host name verification. However,
service_identity implements RFC 6125 fully and plans to add other
relevant RFCs too.
