## `jwt-go` Version History
#### 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
