Crypt-RIPEMD160-0.12

Changes for version 0.12 - 2026-04-02

  • Bug fixes:
    • Fix MAC reset() after mac()/hexmac() by preserving the key so the inner pad can be recomputed. PR #23
    • Prevent STRLEN-to-dword truncation for large inputs on 64-bit platforms in the XS add() method. PR #26
    • Croak on read errors in addfile() instead of silently truncating the hash input. GH #35, PR #35
    • Zero sensitive memory (hash state) on destroy and reset to avoid leaking intermediate digests. PR #39
    • Zero MDfinish stack buffer after final compression to prevent transient data from lingering on the stack. PR #44
  • Improvements:
    • Add clone() method for copying mid-computation state, enabling efficient digest of data sharing a common prefix. PR #27
    • Simplify digest byte extraction and MAC reset internals. PR #36
    • Add const qualifiers to C function signatures and remove unused includes. PR #24
  • Maintenance:
    • Add LICENSE file and =head1 LICENSE sections to module POD. PR #29
    • Add LICENSE section to MAC.pm POD and exclude .claude/ from dist. PR #37
    • Remove executable permission and shebang from Makefile.PL. PR #28
    • Modernize Makefile.PL metadata: add META_PROVIDES, test dependencies, and MIN_PERL_VERSION. PR #25, PR #33
    • Modernize misc/ scripts and clean up MANIFEST.SKIP. PR #34
    • Modernize README and clean cpanfile. PR #25
    • Add CONTRIBUTING.md. PR #31
