Changelog

[1.6.0] - 2026-08-24

Added

• Add a stateful incremental digest/HMAC context API with update!, reset!, and finalize! for processing large streams in caller-controlled chunks.
• Add direct java.nio.file.Path, ByteBuffer, and ReadableByteChannel input support.
• Add a faster streaming implementation that updates MessageDigest directly from a 64 KiB buffer instead of an intermediate lazy byte sequence over a 1 KiB buffer, with an opt-in benchmark to keep the improvement measurable.
• Make algorithm resolution provider-aware by querying the JCA provider registry directly, fixing false negatives for valid casing and aliases.
• Add secure-eq?, a constant-time digest-comparison helper that decodes hex/Base64 before comparing bytes via MessageDigest/isEqual.
• Add HMAC convenience functions for SHA-1, SHA-384, SHA-512, and SHA-3.
• Add public bytes->hex and hex->bytes conversion utilities.
• Expand the known-answer-vector test suite with NIST/RFC vectors, large-stream parity, and raw byte-array HMAC keys.

[1.5.4] - 2026-07-12

Changed

• Migrate the build to deps.edn and tools.build, with Leiningen supported via lein-tools-deps.
