Changes since v1.0.0-rc.1

No code changes

Changes since v0.14.5:

  • IMPORTANT! In previous versions, nacl.secretbox.open, nacl.box.open, and nacl.box.after returned false when opening failed (for example, when using incorrect key, nonce, or when input was maliciously or accidentally modified after encryption). This version instead returns null.

    The usual way to check for this condition:

    if (!result) { ... }

    is correct and will continue to work.

    However, direct comparison with false:

    if (result == false) { ... }

    it will no longer work and will not detect failure. Please check your code for this condition.

    (nacl.sign.open always returned null, so it is not affected.)

  • Arguments type check now uses instanceof Uint8Array instead of Object.prototype.toString.

  • Removed deprecation checks for nacl.util (moved to a
    separate package in v0.14.0).

  • Removed deprecation checks for the old signature API (changed in v0.10.0).

  • Improved benchmarking.
