Changes in `2.0.0 `_ =============================================================== This release includes the following changes since 1.3.0: * Fix a buffer bounds check when decoding group messages. * Update ``olm_group_decrypt`` to return the ratchet index for decrypted messages. * Fix ``olm_pickle_account``, ``olm_pickle_session``, ``olm_pickle_inbound_group_session`` and ``olm_pickle_outbound_group_session`` to correctly return the length of the pickled object. * Add a `specification <./docs/megolm.rst>`_ of the Megolm ratchet, and add some information on mitigating unknown key-share attacks to the `Olm specification <./docs/olm.rst>`_. * Add an ``install-headers`` target to the Makefile (and run it when installing the library). (Credit to Emmanuel Gil Peyrot). Changes in `1.3.0 `_ =============================================================== This release updates the group session identifier to avoid collisions. Group sessions are now identified by their ed25519 public key. These changes alter the pickle format of outbound group sessions, attempting to unpickle an outbound group session created with a previous version of olm will give ``OLM_CORRUPTED_PICKLE``. Inbound sessions are unaffected. This release alters the format of group session_key messages to include the ratchet counter. The session_key messages are now self signed with their ed25519 key. No attempt was made to preserve backwards-compatibility. Attempting to send session_keys between old and new versions will give ``OLM_BAD_SESSION_KEY``. Changes in `1.2.0 `_ =============================================================== This release updates the implementation of group session communications, to include Ed25519 signatures on group messages, to ensure that participants in group sessions cannot masquerade as each other. These changes necessitate changes to the pickle format of inbound and outbound group sessions, as well as the session_keys exchanged between them. No attempt has been made to preserve backwards-compatibility: * Attempting to restore old pickles will give ``OLM_CORRUPTED_PICKLE``. * Attempting to send session_keys between old and new versions will give ``OLM_BAD_SESSION_KEY``. * Attempting to send messages between old and new versions will give one of a number of errors. There were also a number of implementation changes made as part of this release, aimed at making the codebase more consistent, and to help with the implementation of the group message signatures. Changes in `1.1.0 `_ =============================================================== This release includes a fix to a bug which caused Ed25519 keypairs to be generated and used insecurely. Any Ed25519 keys generated by libolm 1.0.0 or earlier should be considered compromised. The fix necessitates a change to the format of the OlmAccount pickle; since existing OlmAccounts should in any case be considered compromised (as above), the library refuses to load them, returning OLM_BAD_LEGACY_ACCOUNT_PICKLE. Changes in `1.0.0 `_ =============================================================== This release includes a fix to a bug which had the potential to leak sensitive data to the application: see https://github.com/vector-im/vector-web/issues/1719. Users of pre-1.x.x versions of the Olm library should upgrade. Our thanks to `Dmitry Luyciv `_ for bringing our attention to the bug. Other changes since 0.1.0: * *Experimental* implementation of the primitives for group sessions. This implementation has not yet been used in an application and developers are advised not to rely on its stability. * Replace custom build scripts with a Makefile. * Include the major version number in the soname of libolm.so (credit to Emmanuel Gil Peyrot).
