password-2.1.0.0: ChangeLog.md

# Changelog for password

## 2.1.0.0

-   A new `Validate` module has been added to dictate policies that passwords
    should adhere to and the necessary API to verify that they do.
    [#26](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/26)
    Huge thanks to [@HirotoShioi](https://github.com/HirotoShioi) for picking
    up the task of adding this functionality and doing most of the groundwork.
    [#27](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/27)
    Thanks to Felix Paulusma ([@Vlix](https://github.com/Vlix)) for finishing
    up the API and documentation.

## 2.0.1.1

-   Fixed cross-module links in the haddocks.
    [#19](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/19) Thanks to
    [@TristanCacqueray](https://github.com/TristanCacqueray) for fixing this.

## 2.0.1.0

-   Switched checking hashes to using `Data.ByteArray.constEq`, instead of
    the default `(==)` method of `ByteString`. This is to make it more secure
    against timing attacks. [#16](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/16)
    Thanks to [@maralorn](https://github.com/maralorn) for bringing this up.

## 2.0.0.1

-   Fixed README markdown for hackage.

## 2.0.0.0

-   Complete overhaul of the library to include hashing and checking
    passwords with not just `scrypt`, but also `PBKDF2`, `bcrypt` and
    `Argon2`.
    [#8](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/8)
-   `cryptonite` is now used as a dependency, instead of the `scrypt` package.
    [#8](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/8)
-   Done away with abbreviating "password" (`Pass/pass` -> `Password/password`)
    [#8](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/8)
-   Removed `unsafeShowPasswordText` and changed `unsafeShowPassword` to be
    `Password -> Text`. (Anyone who needs it to be a `String` knows where to
    find `Data.Text.unpack`)
    [#8](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/8)
-   GHC versions < 8.2 are no longer actively supported. (Tested to work for GHC 8.2.2)

## 1.0.0.0

-   `hashPassWithSalt` has switched function arguments for better currying.
    [#6](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/6)
    Although be warned that multiple passwords
    [should not be hashed with the same salt](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/6#discussion_r370455681).
-   Removed `Read` instance from `Pass` and added `Show` instance.
    [#6](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/6)
    See [#5](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/issues/5#issuecomment-576958351)
    for justification of this.
-   `newSalt` is now `MonadIO m` instead of `IO`.
    [#6](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/6)
-   `PassCheckSucc` has been renamed to `PassCheckSuccess`.
    [#6](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/6)
-   Hide data constructor from `Pass` and add the `mkPass` function to construct a `Pass`.
    [#6](https://github.com/cdepillabout/password/pull/6)
-   Thanks to Felix Paulusma ([@Vlix](https://github.com/Vlix)) for the above
    changes!
