Botan bindings devlog

That’s… one small step for stability, one giant leap for stability-kind… Today’s update is minor, and consists mostly of three things:

  • Continued working on unit tests and bugfixes for Botan.Low.Cipher
  • Added unit tests and bug fixes for the Botan.Low.MPI BigInt interface
  • The community proposal has been updated with a considerable amount of notes, and the rough draft has been started.

I will be continuing to focus on botan-low unit tests and the community proposal for the remainder of this week.


Small note: Due to the sheer number of algorithm combinations needing testing (easily several thousand tests), the unit tests no longer run to completion and only report a single bulk PASS / FAIL. Neither the number of passing / failing tests nor details of the failures are reported, in the console or in the log. Has anybody else experienced this using hspec over a significant quantity of tests?
