various bcrypt improvements

2012-03-10T23:22:21+00:00

* studied crypt_blowfish's 8bit bug
	- verified none of passlib's backends were affected
	- added recognition (but not support) for crypt_blowfish's $2x$ hash prefix
	- added support for crypt_blowfish's $2y$ hash prefix
	- note in docs about Passlib's current handling of crypt_blowfish 8bit issues.
* refactored bcrypt's salt-unused-bits repair code into Base64Engine.repair_unused(),
  making the code cleaner and more isolated. a bunch more tests.
* added bcrypt64 (bcrypt-base64 variant) to utils
* added LazyBase64Engine to reduce memory / startup time

bcrypt padding work:

2011-10-08T01:39:00+00:00

* added changelog entry re: issue & fix
* bcrypt now warns about padding bits in digest as well
* bcrypt.normhash() now normalizes salt padding bits, digest padding bits, and rounds zero-padding
* hash_needs_update() will now flag unclean bcrypt hashes as needing an update
* UTs for hash_needs_update(), and digest padding bit handling

traditional post-release tweaks to documentation

2011-08-17T23:31:35+00:00

docs: replaced all "References" sections with "Footnotes" rubric, per Sphinx documentation

2011-07-11T03:39:08+00:00

added support for BCryptor as bcrypt backend

2011-06-01T20:13:41+00:00

removed pure-python bcrypt implementation, wasn't fast enough to be usuable, and probably never will be.

2011-03-24T21:43:48+00:00

documentation work

2011-03-15T01:21:42+00:00

==================

* various documentation cleanups
* removed unused quickstart doc

finished documenting specific interface details for all existing password hashes

2011-03-03T20:55:41+00:00
