10 Better behavior in default mode of parsing BIT STRINGs. Better handling of
11 parsed BIT STRINGs in `toDer()`. More tests.
12- Improve X.509 BIT STRING handling by using new capture modes.
13
14### Changed
15
16- Major refactor to use CommonJS plus a browser build system.
17- Updated tests, examples, docs.
18- Updated dependencies.
19- Updated flash build system.
20- Improve OID mapping code.
21- Change test servers from Python to JavaScript.
22- Improve PhantomJS support.
23- Move Bower/bundle support to
24 [forge-dist](https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge-dist).
25- **BREAKING**: Require minimal digest algorithm dependencies from individual
26 modules.
27- Enforce currently supported bit param values for byte buffer access. May be
28 **BREAKING** for code that depended on unspecified and/or incorrect behavior.
29- Improve `asn1.prettyPrint()` BIT STRING display.

31### Added
32
33- webpack bundler support via `npm run build`:
34 - Builds `.js`, `.min.js`, and basic sourcemaps.
35 - Basic build: `forge.js`.
36 - Build with extra utils and networking support: `forge.all.js`.
37 - Build WebWorker support: `prime.worker.js`.
38- Browserify support in package.json.
39- Karma browser testing.
40- `forge.options` field.
41- `forge.options.usePureJavaScript` flag.
42- `forge.util.isNodejs` flag (used to select "native" APIs).
43- Run PhantomJS tests in Travis-CI.
44- Add "Donations" section to README.
45- Add IRC to "Contact" section of README.
46- Add "Security Considerations" section to README.
47- Add pbkdf2 usePureJavaScript test.
48- Add rsa.generateKeyPair async and usePureJavaScript tests.
49- Add .editorconfig support.
50- Add `md.all.js` which includes all digest algorithms.
51- Add asn1 `equals()` and `copy()`.
52- Add asn1 `validate()` capture options for BIT STRING contents and value.
53
54### Removed
55
56- **BREAKING**: Can no longer call `forge({...})` to create new instances.
57- Remove a large amount of old cruft.
58
59### Migration from 0.6.x to 0.7.x
60
61- (all) If you used the feature to create a new forge instance with new
62 configuration options you will need to rework your code. That ability has
63 been removed due to implementation complexity. The main rare use was to set
64 the option to use pure JavaScript. That is now available as a library global
65 flag `forge.options.usePureJavaScript`.
66- (npm,bower) If you used the default main file there is little to nothing to
67 change.
68- (npm) If you accessed a sub-resource like `forge/js/pki` you should either
69 switch to just using the main `forge` and access `forge.pki` or update to
70 `forge/lib/pki`.
71- (bower) If you used a sub-resource like `forge/js/pki` you should switch to
72 just using `forge` and access `forge.pki`. The bower release bundles
73 everything in one minified file.
74- (bower) A configured workerScript like
75 `/bower_components/forge/js/prime.worker.js` will need to change to
76 `/bower_components/forge/dist/prime.worker.min.js`.
77- (all) If you used the networking support or flash socket support, you will
78 need to use a custom build and/or adjust where files are loaded from. This
79 functionality is not included in the bower distribution by default and is
80 also now in a different directory.
81- (all) The library should now directly support building custom bundles with
82 webpack, browserify, or similar.
83- (all) If building a custom bundle ensure the correct dependencies are
84 included. In particular, note there is now a `md.all.js` file to include all
85 digest algorithms. Individual files limit what they include by default to
86 allow smaller custom builds. For instance, `pbdkf2.js` has a `sha1` default
87 but does not include any algorithm files by default. This allows the
88 possibility to include only `sha256` without the overhead of `sha1` and
89 `sha512`.

91### Notes
92
93- This major update requires updating the version to 0.7.x. The existing
94 work-in-progress "0.7.x" branch will be painfully rebased on top of this new
95 0.7.x and moved forward to 0.8.x or later as needed.
96- 0.7.x is a start of simplifying forge based on common issues and what has
97 appeared to be the most common usage. Please file issues with feedback if the
98 changes are problematic for your use cases.
