Changes for version 0.01 - 2026-05-07
- Initial release.
- Single 'hash' plugin registered with File::Raw.
- READ, WRITE, STREAM, RECORD phases (passthrough on the data path; the digest is delivered via a caller-supplied scalar / hash / array ref passed in the 'into' option).
- Algorithms: sha256, sha512, sha1, md5, crc32, xxh64, blake3. All vendored public-domain reference implementations; no OpenSSL or libsodium dependency.
- HMAC mode (RFC 2104) via the 'hmac_key' option for sha256, sha512, sha1, and md5. Verified against RFC 4231 / RFC 2202 test vectors. Rejected for crc32 / xxh64 / blake3 with a named error.
- xxh64 accepts an optional 'xxh64_seed' integer (default 0).
- BLAKE3 verified against the official test_vectors.json for empty input, length 1/2/3, exact-chunk (1024) and tree-forming (1025) inputs.
- Output formats: hex, HEX, base64, base64url, raw.
- Multi-algo runs in one pass: algos => [...].
- Algo name normalisation: SHA-256 / sha_256 / SHA256 / sha256 all resolve identically.
- Composes cleanly inside File::Raw plugin chains; placement decides whether the digest reflects on-disk bytes or any decoded representation downstream.
- record_fn is wired forward-compat for File::Raw's RECORD dispatcher; v0.01 ships a private _test_record_one XSUB that exercises it through file_plugin_dispatch_record while File::Raw works on a public per-record iterator.
