libsodium v1.0.15 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-10-01 // over 6 years ago
    • The default password hashing algorithm is now Argon2id. The pwhash_str_verify() function can still verify Argon2i hashes without any changes, and pwhash() can still compute Argon2i hashes as well.
    • 👀 The aes128ctr primitive was removed. It was slow, non-standard, not authenticated, and didn't seem to be used by any opensource project.
    • 🛠 Argon2id required at least 3 passes like Argon2i, despite a minimum of 1 as defined by the OPSLIMIT_MIN constant. This has been fixed.
    • The secretstream construction was slightly changed to be consistent with forthcoming variants.
    • 🔀 The Javascript and Webassembly versions have been merged, and the module now returns a .ready promise that will resolve after the Webassembly code is loaded and compiled.
    • Note that due to these incompatible changes, the library version major was bumped up.
