# Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

## \[3.0.0]

### Changed

* **BREAKING**: `jwt.verify` now requires an `algorithm` parameter, and `jws.createVerify` requires an `algorithm` option. The `"alg"` field signature headers is ignored. This mitigates a critical security flaw in the library which would allow an attacker to generate signatures with arbitrary contents that would be accepted by `jwt.verify`. See <https://auth0.com/blog/2015/03/31/critical-vulnerabilities-in-json-web-token-libraries/> for details.

## [2.0.0](https://github.com/brianloveswords/node-jws/compare/v1.0.1...v2.0.0) - 2015-01-30

### Changed

* **BREAKING**: Default payload encoding changed from `binary` to `utf8`. `utf8` is a is a more sensible default than `binary` because many payloads, as far as I can tell, will contain user-facing strings that could be in any language. ([`6b6de48`](https://github.com/brianloveswords/node-jws/commit/6b6de48))
* Code reorganization, thanks [@fearphage](https://github.com/fearphage)! ([`7880050`](https://github.com/brianloveswords/node-jws/commit/7880050))

### Added

* Option in all relevant methods for `encoding`. For those few users that might be depending on a `binary` encoding of the messages, this is for them. ([`6b6de48`](https://github.com/brianloveswords/node-jws/commit/6b6de48))
