v0.4.1

Patch

• Fix compilation, enable local proof-of-work fallback #833

v0.5.0

This release introduces multiple breaking changes to the structure of IOTA DID Documents and their Tangle messages, rendering any identity created with a prior version incompatible and unresolvable. A versioning system has been introduced so any new identities should hopefully be forward compatible with any future breaking changes to the message structure.

The main feature of this release is the introduction of WebAssembly (Wasm) bindings for the high-level Account API for Javascript/Typescript in both Node.js and the browser. This includes preliminary Stronghold storage bindings but only for Node.js, as it was determined that compiling Stronghold to Wasm for the browser would not be sufficiently secure. Stronghold offers best-effort secure software storage for cryptographic keys, written in Rust. To use the Stronghold storage package install @iota/identity-stronghold-nodejs and follow the instructions of the package README.

Note that all features related to diff chain updates are now marked as deprecated. Diff chains are a useful optimisation when publishing many updates to a DID Document. However, their design may be incompatible with upcoming changes to the IOTA network and should be considered unstable.

Another major change is the removal of the MerkleKeyCollection verification method type, which provided a compact representation for issuing and revoking Verifiable Credentials with multiple cryptographic keys. The MerkleKeyCollection suffered from disadvantages which limited scalability when managing more than a few thousand keys. While these disadvantages could be mitigated somewhat, the decision was made to replace it with one or more alternatives not affected by its fundamental limitations, upcoming in the next major release.

v0.5.0-dev.5

This release introduces a breaking change to the proof field of DID Documents created by versions v0.5.0-dev.1 through v0.5.0-dev.4, making all prior documents incompatible. The main feature of this release is the introduction of WebAssembly (Wasm) bindings for the high-level Account API for Javascript/Typescript in both Node.js and the browser. This includes Stronghold storage support but only for Node.js, as it was determined that compiling Stronghold to Wasm for private key storage in the browser would not be sufficiently secure.

v0.5.0-dev.3

This release introduces a breaking change for diff updates created by versions v0.5.0-dev.1 and v0.5.0-dev.2 (previous diff updates from <=v0.4.0 are already incompatible due to breaking changes to the document and message structure in v0.5.0-dev.1). To migrate, please publish an integration update containing all diff changes to prevent unexpected changes to resolved DID Documents.
