# 0.21.3
- Implement `source` instead of `cause` on Error types
- Roll back MSRV to 1.48.0 so Debian can continue to live in a time warp
- Slightly faster chunked encoding for short inputs
- Decrease binary size
# 0.21.2
- Rollback MSRV to 1.57.0 -- only dev dependencies need 1.60, not the main code
# 0.21.1
- Remove the possibility of panicking during decoded length calculations
- `DecoderReader` no longer sometimes erroneously ignores padding [#226](https://github.com/marshallpierce/rust-base64/issues/226)
## Breaking changes
- `Engine.internal_decode` return type changed
- Update MSRV to 1.60.0
# 0.21.0
## Migration
### Functions
| < 0.20 function | 0.21 equivalent |
|-------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `encode()` | `engine::general_purpose::STANDARD.encode()` or `prelude::BASE64_STANDARD.encode()` |
| `encode_config()` | `engine.encode()` |
| `encode_config_buf()` | `engine.encode_string()` |
| `encode_config_slice()` | `engine.encode_slice()` |
| `decode()` | `engine::general_purpose::STANDARD.decode()` or `prelude::BASE64_STANDARD.decode()` |
| `decode_config()` | `engine.decode()` |
| `decode_config_buf()` | `engine.decode_vec()` |
| `decode_config_slice()` | `engine.decode_slice()` |
The short-lived 0.20 functions were the 0.13 functions with `config` replaced with `engine`.
### Padding
If applicable, use the preset engines `engine::STANDARD`, `engine::STANDARD_NO_PAD`, `engine::URL_SAFE`,
or `engine::URL_SAFE_NO_PAD`.
The `NO_PAD` ones require that padding is absent when decoding, and the others require that
canonical padding is present .
If you need the < 0.20 behavior that did not care about padding, or want to recreate < 0.20.0's predefined `Config`s
precisely, see the following table.
| 0.13.1 Config | 0.20.0+ alphabet | `encode_padding` | `decode_padding_mode` |
|-----------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------------|
| STANDARD | STANDARD | true | Indifferent |
| STANDARD_NO_PAD | STANDARD | false | Indifferent |
| URL_SAFE | URL_SAFE | true | Indifferent |
| URL_SAFE_NO_PAD | URL_SAFE | false | Indifferent |
# 0.21.0-rc.1
- Restore the ability to decode into a slice of precisely the correct length with `Engine.decode_slice_unchecked`.
- Add `Engine` as a `pub use` in `prelude`.
# 0.21.0-beta.2
## Breaking changes
- Re-exports of preconfigured engines in `engine` are removed in favor of `base64::prelude::...` that are better suited to those who wish to `use` the entire path to a name.
# 0.21.0-beta.1
## Breaking changes
- `FastPortable` was only meant to be an interim name, and shouldn't have shipped in 0.20. It is now `GeneralPurpose` to
make its intended usage more clear.
- `GeneralPurpose` and its config are now `pub use`'d in the `engine` module for convenience.
- Change a few `from()` functions to be `new()`. `from()` causes confusing compiler errors because of confusion
with `From::from`, and is a little misleading because some of those invocations are not very cheap as one would
usually expect from a `from` call.
- `encode*` and `decode*` top level functions are now methods on `Engine`.
- `DEFAULT_ENGINE` was replaced by `engine::general_purpose::STANDARD`
- Predefined engine consts `engine::general_purpose::{STANDARD, STANDARD_NO_PAD, URL_SAFE, URL_SAFE_NO_PAD}`
- These are `pub use`d into `engine` as well
- The `*_slice` decode/encode functions now return an error instead of panicking when the output slice is too small
- As part of this, there isn't now a public way to decode into a slice _exactly_ the size needed for inputs that
aren't multiples of 4 tokens. If adding up to 2 bytes to always be a multiple of 3 bytes for the decode buffer is
a problem, file an issue.
## Other changes
- `decoded_len_estimate()` is provided to make it easy to size decode buffers correctly.
# 0.20.0
## Breaking changes
- Update MSRV to 1.57.0
- Decoding can now either ignore padding, require correct padding, or require no padding. The default is to require
correct padding.
- The `NO_PAD` config now requires that padding be absent when decoding.
## 0.20.0-alpha.1
### Breaking changes
- Extended the `Config` concept into the `Engine` abstraction, allowing the user to pick different encoding / decoding
implementations.
- What was formerly the only algorithm is now the `FastPortable` engine, so named because it's portable (works on
any CPU) and relatively fast.
- This opens the door to a portable constant-time
presumably `ConstantTimePortable`?) for security-sensitive applications that need side-channel resistance, and
CPU-specific SIMD implementations for more speed.
- Standard base64 per the RFC is available via `DEFAULT_ENGINE`. To use different alphabets or other settings (
padding, etc), create your own engine instance.
- `CharacterSet` is now `Alphabet` (per the RFC), and allows creating custom alphabets. The corresponding tables that
were previously code-generated are now built dynamically.
- Since there are already multiple breaking changes, various functions are renamed to be more consistent and
discoverable.
- MSRV is now 1.47.0 to allow various things to use `const fn`.
- `DecoderReader` now owns its inner reader, and can expose it via `into_inner()`. For symmetry, `EncoderWriter` can do
the same with its writer.
- `encoded_len` is now public so you can size encode buffers precisely.
# 0.13.1
- More precise decode buffer sizing, avoiding unnecessary allocation in `decode_config`.
# 0.13.0
- Config methods are const
- Added `EncoderStringWriter` to allow encoding directly to a String
- `EncoderWriter` now owns its delegate writer rather than keeping a reference to it (though refs still work)
- As a consequence, it is now possible to extract the delegate writer from an `EncoderWriter` via `finish()`, which
returns `Result<W>` instead of `Result<()>`. If you were calling `finish()` explicitly, you will now need to
use `let _ = foo.finish()` instead of just `foo.finish()` to avoid a warning about the unused value.
- When decoding input that has both an invalid length and an invalid symbol as the last byte, `InvalidByte` will be
emitted instead of `InvalidLength` to make the problem more obvious.
# 0.12.2
- Add `BinHex` alphabet
# 0.12.1
- Add `Bcrypt` alphabet
# 0.12.0
- A `Read` implementation (`DecoderReader`) to let users transparently decoded data from a b64 input source
- IMAP's modified b64 alphabet
- Relaxed type restrictions to just `AsRef<[ut8]>` for main `encode*`/`decode*` functions
- A minor performance improvement in encoding
# 0.11.0
- Minimum rust version 1.34.0
- `no_std` is now supported via the two new features `alloc` and `std`.
# 0.10.1
- Minimum rust version 1.27.2
- Fix bug in streaming encoding ([#90](https://github.com/marshallpierce/rust-base64/pull/90)): if the underlying writer
didn't write all the bytes given to it, the remaining bytes would not be retried later. See the docs
on `EncoderWriter::write`.
- Make it configurable whether or not to return an error when decoding detects excess trailing bits.
# 0.10.0
- Remove line wrapping. Line wrapping was never a great conceptual fit in this library, and other features (streaming
encoding, etc) either couldn't support it or could support only special cases of it with a great increase in
complexity. Line wrapping has been pulled out into a [line-wrap](https://crates.io/crates/line-wrap) crate, so it's
still available if you need it.
- `Base64Display` creation no longer uses a `Result` because it can't fail, which means its helper methods for
common
configs that `unwrap()` for you are no longer needed
- Add a streaming encoder `Write` impl to transparently base64 as you write.
- Remove the remaining `unsafe` code.
- Remove whitespace stripping to simplify `no_std` support. No out of the box configs use it, and it's trivial to do
yourself if needed: `filter(|b| !b" \n\t\r\x0b\x0c".contains(b)`.
- Detect invalid trailing symbols when decoding and return an error rather than silently ignoring them.
