keyring (development version)

keyring 1.3.2

• keyring uses safer *printf() format strings (Secret Service backend).

keyring 1.3.1

• No user visible changes.

keyring 1.3.0

• keyring_create() and also all backends that support multiple keyrings now allow passing the password when creating a new keyring (#114).

• key_set() can now use a custom prompt (@pnacht, #112).

• keyring now handled better the 'Cancel' button when requesting a password in RStudio, and an error is thrown in this case (#106).

keyring 1.2.0

• It is now possible to specify the encoding of secrets on Windows (#88, @awong234).

• The get_raw() method of the Secret Service backend works now (#87).

• Now the file backend is selected by default on Unix systems if Secret Service is not available or does not work (#95, @nwstephens).

• The file backend now works with keys that do not have a username.

• All backends use the value of the keyring_username option, if set, as the default username (#60).

keyring 1.1.0

• File based backend (#53, @nbenn).

• Fix bugs in key_set() on Linux (#43, #51).

• Windows: support non-ascii characters and spaces in key_list() service and keyring (#48, #49, @javierluraschi).

• Add support for listing service keys for env backend (#58, @javierluraschi).

• keyring is now compatible with R 3.1.x and R 3.2.x.

• libsecret is now optional on Linux. If not available, keyring is built without the Secret Service backend (#55).

• Fix the get_raw() method on Windows.

• Windows: get() tries the UTF-16LE encoding if the sting has embedded zero bytes. This allows getting secrets that were set in Credential Manager (#56).

• Windows: fix list() when some secrets have no : at all (these were probably set externally) (#44).

keyring 1.0.0

First public release.
