In secretbase: Cryptographic Hash, Extendable-Output and Base64 Functions

secretbase 1.0.5

• Package is re-licensed under the MIT licence.

secretbase 1.0.4

• base64dec() now errors if convert = TRUE and conversion to a character string fails, no longer returning a raw vector (accompanied by a warning).

secretbase 1.0.3

• base64dec() now emits a suppressable warning when failing to convert back to a character string.

secretbase 1.0.2

• Improves hash performance in most situations, especially for large files, by optimizing buffer sizes.

secretbase 1.0.1

• Improved error message if argument 'convert' is not of logical type.

secretbase 1.0.0

• Adds base64 encoding and decoding.
• sha3() restricts 'bit' argument to one of 224, 256, 384 or 512.

secretbase 0.5.0

• Adds Keccak cryptographic hash algorithm.
• Adds shake256() to delineate from sha3().
• Use of sha3() supplying 'bit' argument other than 224, 256, 384 or 512 is deprecated.

secretbase 0.4.0

• Adds HMAC generation to sha256().
• Adds SipHash pseudo-random function (PRF) as a fast, cryptographically-strong keyed hash.

secretbase 0.3.0.1

• CRAN release correcting for Clang-UBSAN checks.

secretbase 0.3.0

• Adds SHA-256 cryptographic hash algorithm.
• Folds file hashing into the 'file' argument of the main hash function.

secretbase 0.2.0

• Adds file hashing interface.

secretbase 0.1.0

• Initial CRAN release.

secretbase 0.0.1

• Initial release to rOpenSci R-universe and Github.
