2.4.1 - 2018-11-11

  • Fixed a build breakage in our manylinux1 wheels.

2.4 - 2018-11-11

  • BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for LibreSSL 2.4.x.
  • Deprecated OpenSSL 1.0.1 support. OpenSSL 1.0.1 is no longer supported by the OpenSSL project. At this time there is no time table for dropping support, however we strongly encourage all users to upgrade or install cryptography from a wheel.

  • Added support for Python 3.7.
  • Added extract_timestamp() to get the authenticated timestamp of a Fernet token.
  • Support for Python 2.7.x without hmac.compare_digest has been deprecated. We will require Python 2.7.7 or higher (or 2.7.6 on Ubuntu) in the next cryptography release.
  • Fixed multiple issues preventing cryptography from compiling against LibreSSL 2.7.x.
  • Added get_revoked_certificate_by_serial_number for quick serial number searches in CRLs.
  • The RelativeDistinguishedName class now preserves the order of attributes. Duplicate attributes now raise an error instead of silently discarding duplicates.

  • Fixed a bug in aes_key_unwrap_with_padding() that caused it to raise InvalidUnwrap when key length modulo 8 was zero.

2.2 - 2018-03-19

2.1.4 - 2017-11-29

  • Added X509_up_ref for an upcoming pyOpenSSL release.

2.1.3 - 2017-11-02

2.1.1 - 2017-10-12

  • Fixed support for install with the system pip on Ubuntu 16.04.

2.1 - 2017-10-11

  • FINAL DEPRECATION Python 2.6 support is deprecated, and will be removed in the next release of cryptography.
  • BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Whirlpool, RIPEMD160, and UnsupportedExtension have been removed in accordance with our API stability policy.
  • BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: DNSName.value, RFC822Name.value, and UniformResourceIdentifier.value will now return an A-label string when parsing a certificate containing an internationalized domain name (IDN) or if the caller passed a U-label to the constructor. See below for additional deprecations related to this change.
  • Installing cryptography now requires pip 6 or newer.
  • Deprecated passing U-label strings to the DNSName, UniformResourceIdentifier, and RFC822Name constructors. Instead, users should pass values as A-label strings with idna encoding if necessary. This change will not affect anyone who is not processing internationalized domains.
  • Added support for ChaCha20. In most cases users should choose ChaCha20Poly1305 rather than using this unauthenticated form.
  • Added is_signature_valid() to CertificateRevocationList.
  • Support BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s with HMAC.
  • Added support for XTS mode for AES.
  • Added support for using labels with OAEP when using OpenSSL 1.0.2 or greater.
  • Improved compatibility with NSS when issuing certificates from an issuer that has a subject with non-UTF8String string types.
  • Add support for the DeltaCRLIndicator extension.
  • Add support for the TLSFeature extension. This is commonly used for enabling OCSP Must-Staple in certificates.
  • Add support for the FreshestCRL extension.

2.0.3 - 2017-08-03

  • Fixed an issue with weak linking symbols when compiling on macOS versions older than 10.12.

2.0.2 - 2017-07-27

  • Marked all symbols as hidden in the manylinux1 wheel to avoid a bug with symbol resolution in certain scenarios.

2.0.1 - 2017-07-26

  • Fixed a compilation bug affecting OpenBSD.
  • Altered the manylinux1 wheels to statically link OpenSSL instead of dynamically linking and bundling the shared object. This should resolve crashes seen when using uwsgi or other binaries that link against OpenSSL independently.
  • Fixed the stack level for the signer and verifier warnings.

2.0 - 2017-07-17

1.9 - 2017-05-29

  • BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Elliptic Curve signature verification no longer returns True on success. This brings it in line with the interface’s documentation, and our intent. The correct way to use verify() has always been to check whether or not InvalidSignature was raised.
  • BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for macOS 10.7 and 10.8.
  • BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: The minimum supported PyPy version is now 5.3.
  • Python 3.3 support has been deprecated, and will be removed in the next cryptography release.
  • Add support for providing tag during GCM finalization via finalize_with_tag().
  • Fixed an issue preventing cryptography from compiling against LibreSSL 2.5.x.
  • Added key_size() and key_size() as convenience methods for determining the bit size of a secret scalar for the curve.
  • Accessing an unrecognized extension marked critical on an X.509 object will no longer raise an UnsupportedExtension exception, instead an UnrecognizedExtension object will be returned. This behavior was based on a poor reading of the RFC, unknown critical extensions only need to be rejected on certificate verification.
  • The CommonCrypto backend has been removed.
  • MultiBackend has been removed.
  • Whirlpool and RIPEMD160 have been deprecated.

1.8.2 - 2017-05-26

  • Fixed a compilation bug affecting OpenSSL 1.1.0f.
  • Updated Windows and macOS wheels to be compiled against OpenSSL 1.1.0f.

1.8.1 - 2017-03-10

1.8 - 2017-03-09

  • Added support for Python 3.6.
  • Windows and macOS wheels now link against OpenSSL 1.1.0.
  • macOS wheels are no longer universal. This change significantly shrinks the size of the wheels. Users on macOS 32-bit Python (if there are any) should migrate to 64-bit or build their own packages.
  • Changed ASN.1 dependency from pyasn1 to asn1crypto resulting in a general performance increase when encoding/decoding ASN.1 structures. Also, the pyasn1_modules test dependency is no longer required.
  • Added support for update_into() on CipherContext.
  • Added private_bytes() to DHPrivateKeyWithSerialization.
  • Added public_bytes() to DHPublicKey.
  • load_pem_private_key() and load_der_private_key() now require that password must be bytes if provided. Previously this was documented but not enforced.
  • Added support for subgroup order in Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

1.7.2 - 2017-01-27

  • Updated Windows and macOS wheels to be compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.2k.

  • Fixed a regression in int_from_bytes where it failed to accept bytearray.

1.7 - 2016-12-12

  • Support for OpenSSL 1.0.0 has been removed. Users on older version of OpenSSL will need to upgrade.
  • Added support for Diffie-Hellman key exchange using exchange().

  • Fixed several small bugs related to compiling the OpenSSL bindings with unusual OpenSSL configurations.
  • Resolved an issue where, depending on the method of installation and which Python interpreter they were using, users on El Capitan (OS X 10.11) may have seen an InternalError on import.

1.1 - 2015-10-28

1.0.2 - 2015-09-27

  • SECURITY ISSUE: The OpenSSL backend prior to 1.0.2 made extensive use of assertions to check response codes where our tests could not trigger a failure. However, when Python is run with -O these asserts are optimized away. If a user ran Python with this flag and got an invalid response code this could result in undefined behavior or worse. Accordingly, all response checks from the OpenSSL backend have been converted from assert to a true function call. Credit Emilia Käsper (Google Security Team) for the report.

1.0.1 - 2015-09-05

  • We now ship OS X wheels that statically link OpenSSL by default. When installing a wheel on OS X 10.10+ (and using a Python compiled against the 10.10 SDK) users will no longer need to compile. See Installation for alternate installation methods if required.
  • Set the default string mask to UTF-8 in the OpenSSL backend to resolve character encoding issues with older versions of OpenSSL.
  • Several new OpenSSL bindings have been added to support a future pyOpenSSL release.
  • Raise an error during install on PyPy < 2.6. 1.0+ requires PyPy 2.6+.

  • Updated Windows wheels to be compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.1j.
  • Fixed an issue where OpenSSL 1.0.1j changed the errors returned by some functions.
  • Added our license file to the cryptography-vectors package.
  • Implemented DSA hash truncation support (per FIPS 186-3) in the OpenSSL backend. This works around an issue in 1.0.0, 1.0.0a, and 1.0.0b where truncation was not implemented.

0.6 - 2014-09-29

  • Added load_pem_private_key() to ease loading private keys, and load_pem_public_key() to support loading public keys.
  • Removed the, deprecated in 0.4, support for the salt_length argument to the MGF1 constructor. The salt_length should be passed to PSS instead.
