## `jwt-go` Version History
#### 2.7.0
This will likely be the last backwards compatible release before 3.0.0, excluding essential bug fixes.
* Added new option `-show` to the `jwt` command that will just output the decoded token without verifying
* Error text for expired tokens includes how long it's been expired
* Fixed incorrect error returned from `ParseRSAPublicKeyFromPEM`
* Documentation updates
#### 2.6.0
* Exposed inner error within ValidationError
* Fixed validation errors when using UseJSONNumber flag
* Added several unit tests
#### 2.5.0
* Added support for signing method none. You shouldn't use this. The API tries to make this clear.
* Updated/fixed some documentation
* Added more helpful error message when trying to parse tokens that begin with `BEARER `
#### 2.4.0
* Added new type, Parser, to allow for configuration of various parsing parameters
* You can now specify a list of valid signing methods. Anything outside this set will be rejected.
* You can now opt to use the `json.Number` type instead of `float64` when parsing token JSON
* Added support for [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/dgrijalva/jwt-go)
* Fixed some bugs with ECDSA parsing
#### 2.3.0
* Added support for ECDSA signing methods
* Added support for RSA PSS signing methods (requires go v1.4)
#### 2.2.0
* Gracefully handle a `nil` `Keyfunc` being passed to `Parse`. Result will now be the parsed token and an error, instead of a panic.
#### 2.1.0
Backwards compatible API change that was missed in 2.0.0.
* The `SignedString` method on `Token` now takes `interface{}` instead of `[]byte`
#### 2.0.0
There were two major reasons for breaking backwards compatibility with this update. The first was a refactor required to expand the width of the RSA and HMAC-SHA signing implementations. There will likely be no required code changes to support this change.
The second update, while unfortunately requiring a small change in integration, is required to open up this library to other signing methods. Not all keys used for all signing methods have a single standard on-disk representation. Requiring `[]byte` as the type for all keys proved too limiting. Additionally, this implementation allows for pre-parsed tokens to be reused, which might matter in an application that parses a high volume of tokens with a small set of keys. Backwards compatibilty has been maintained for passing `[]byte` to the RSA signing methods, but they will also accept `*rsa.PublicKey` and `*rsa.PrivateKey`.
It is likely the only integration change required here will be to change `func(t *jwt.Token) ([]byte, error)` to `func(t *jwt.Token) (interface{}, error)` when calling `Parse`.
* **Compatibility Breaking Changes**
* `SigningMethodHS256` is now `*SigningMethodHMAC` instead of `type struct`
* `SigningMethodRS256` is now `*SigningMethodRSA` instead of `type struct`
* `KeyFunc` now returns `interface{}` instead of `[]byte`
* `SigningMethod.Sign` now takes `interface{}` instead of `[]byte` for the key
* `SigningMethod.Verify` now takes `interface{}` instead of `[]byte` for the key
* Renamed type `SigningMethodHS256` to `SigningMethodHMAC`. Specific sizes are now just instances of this type.
* Added public package global `SigningMethodHS256`
* Added public package global `SigningMethodHS384`
* Added public package global `SigningMethodHS512`
* Renamed type `SigningMethodRS256` to `SigningMethodRSA`. Specific sizes are now just instances of this type.
* Added public package global `SigningMethodRS256`
* Added public package global `SigningMethodRS384`
* Added public package global `SigningMethodRS512`
* Moved sample private key for HMAC tests from an inline value to a file on disk. Value is unchanged.
* Refactored the RSA implementation to be easier to read
* Exposed helper methods `ParseRSAPrivateKeyFromPEM` and `ParseRSAPublicKeyFromPEM`
#### 1.0.2
* Fixed bug in parsing public keys from certificates
* Added more tests around the parsing of keys for RS256
* Code refactoring in RS256 implementation. No functional changes
#### 1.0.1
* Fixed panic if RS256 signing method was passed an invalid key
#### 1.0.0
* First versioned release
* API stabilized
* Supports creating, signing, parsing, and validating JWT tokens
* Supports RS256 and HS256 signing methods
