Changes for version 2.005001 - 2014-09-11

  • SECURITY; passwdcmp() constant time comparison fixes.
    • The last character of a hash can be skipped during constant time comparison in previous versions (starting at 1.83).
    • Real-world risk is reasonably low, but this does make collisions more likely. Mea culpa.
  • POD / test expansion
