Themis v0.10.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-02-06 // about 6 years ago
  • TL;DR: Multi-platform, multi-language compatibility improved.

    ⚠️ Incompatibility issues:

    ⬆️ If you are using Themis on x64 systems, consider upgrading every Themis library/wrapper you were using to 0.10.0. Incompatibility issues may arise between previous Themis versions and 0.10.0 on x64 machines (#279).

    💎 Rubythemis has breaking changes for Secure Cell Token Protect mode (#281). We added checks for other language wrappers to make sure this won't happen again (#282, #283).

    Check the Migration Guide for more details.

    📄 Docs:

    Infrastructure:

    • Added support of Ubuntu 17.10.
    • Removed support of Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu 17.04 (no more compiled binaries for these OSs now).
    • ➕ Added CLI utils for easy testing of Secure Cell, Secure Message, and Key generation on local machine. Available for Python, Ruby, Go, NodeJS, and PHP. Check the Console Utils guide for more details and usage description/guide.
    • ➕ Added Integration test suit for the majority of the available language wrappers, which was the catalyst for many fixes in this release.
    • ➕ Added support of CircleCI 2.0 with multiple workflows. This allows testing each language wrapper and integrations between them easily and quickly (#295, #299).
