0.15.1, September 14 2023

Update iOS and macOS Themis (Swift and Objective-C):

• Update Themis cocoapods, Themis carthage and Themis SPM
• Use latest Themis Core 0.15.0

Breaking changes

0.15.0, June 21st 2023

TL;DR:

• Uncompressed EC public keys are now supported.
• Increased PBKDF2 iteration count from 200000 to 314110 for Secure Cell passphrase mode.
• OpenSSL 3.0 is now supported.
• Pythemis now uses pyproject.toml.
• And as usual: enhanced security measures and fixed bugs.

Breaking changes and deprecations:

• AndroidThemis build requires Gradle 7.3, Android SDK 11, Android NDK 25.
• Some Soter functions are deprecated.
• Node.js 8 is no longer supported.
• Rust SecureSessionTransport implementations are now Send.
• Rust 1.58 is now the minimum supported version.

Code:

• Core

  • Uncompressed EC public keys are now supported (#959, #954)

  • Themis will generate uncompressed EC public keys when THEMIS_GEN_EC_KEY_PAIR_UNCOMPRESSED=1 environment variable is set (#959)

  • Increased PBKDF2 iteration count to maintain security of Secure Cell passphrase mode (#976).

  • Bumped embedded BoringSSL to the latest version (#1004).

  • Soter (low-level security core used by Themis)

    • soter_sign_export_key() is now deprecated, superseded by soter_sign_export_private_key() and soter_sign_export_public_key() (#959)
    • better OpenSSL 3 support, with many EC- and RSA-related deprecated functions being replaced with newer alternatives, and OpenSSL 1.X is still supported
    • removed build option THEMIS_EXPERIMENTAL_OPENSSL_3_SUPPORT since building/linking with OpenSSL 3 now works out of the box

• Android

  • AndroidThemis build from source now requires Gradle 7.3, Android SDK 11, Android NDK 25 (#942).

• Node.js

  • Node.js v8 is no longer supported (#901).
  • Fixed bug that leads to segfauls if key pair generation fails (#999)

• Python

  • pythemis.scomparator and pythemis.skeygen are now imported with from pythemis import * (#914).
  • Pythemis supports pyproject.toml as a main way of building packages. The old setup.py is preserved for backwards compatibility (#1006).

• Ruby

  • Improved compatibility with non-standard installations on Apple M1 (#917).

• Rust

  • SecureSessionTransport implementations are now required to be Send (#898).

    This is technically a breaking change, but most reasonble implementations should be Send already. Please raise an issue if your code fails to build.

  • Minimum supported Rust version is now 1.58 (#977, #984).

  • Bindgen is pinned to 0.66.1 on CI (#1008).

• WebAssembly

  • Node.js v8 is no longer supported (#901).
