Breaking change: all functions taking streams as inputs will now require passing Web Streams in Node.js . If given a native `stream.Readable` input, they will throw. The browser build is unaffected by this change.
Utils to convert from and to Web Streams in Node are available from v17,
see https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#streamreadabletowebstreamreadable-options .
Previously, we automatically converted between Node native streams and custom, Web-like Readable streams.
This led to occasional issues.
Unlike elliptic, noble-curves targets algorithmic constant time, and
it relies on the native BigInts when available, resulting in a smaller bundle
and improved performance.
Also, expand testing of fallback elliptic implementation.
Mocha v10 requires the lib to be esm compliant.
ESM mandates the use of file extensions in imports, so to minimize the
changes (for now), we rely on the flag `experimental-specifier-resolution=node`
and on `ts-node` (needed only for Node 20).
Breaking changes:
downstream bundlers might be affected by the package.json changes depending on
how they load the library.
NB: legacy package.json entrypoints are still available.
In terms of API, this feature is backwards compatible, no breaking changes.
However, since a Wasm module is loaded for the Argon2 computation, browser apps
might need to make changes to their CSP policy in order to use the feature.
Newly introduced config fields:
- `config.s2kType` (defaulting to `enums.s2k.iterated`): s2k to use on
password-based encryption as well as private key encryption;
- `config.s2kArgon2Params` (defaulting to "uniformly safe settings" from Argon
RFC): parameters to use on encryption when `config.s2kType` is set to
`enums.s2k.argon2`;
The updated stream types improve type inference and checks, in particular when
using ReadableStreams.
Also:
- add `EncryptSessionKeyOptions` to make it easier to declare wrapper functions
of `encryptSessionKey`;
- tighter output type inference in `Message.getText()` and `.getLiteralData()`.
