version: 0.21.820
creator: Leon Poyyayil
created: 2021-06-21 02:28:40
status:  developmental
----------------------------
- build process:
  - finished migration to JDK 1.8 to produce JDK 1.8 compatible byte code,
    e.g. to require a Java 8 JVM
    => code still not using lambda expressions as this is not supported by
       the retroguard obfuscator ... (future task to update this)
    => but allows to make use of new platform APIs
  - updated all file headers to specify JDK 1.8
  - lib/acme4j.jar: updated to 2.11
  - lib/jose4j.jar: updated to 0.7.7
  - lib.dev/*: updated all own libs and tools
  - lib.dev/JavaParserMetrics/*: updated to prevent unit-tests from being part
    of the generated metrics report
  - lib.dev/log4j.jar: updated to 2.14.1

      => necessary to do this manually here to better support usage of the
         libraries in webapps which have a different need for context selectors
  - ApplicationDependency.xml: changed to require Log4j 2.14.1
- package net.boarderzone.apps.net.acmeclient:
  - AcmeClient: migrated to latest version of ACME library to support v2 protocol

    - added option 'acme-tos' to help in determining whether terms-of-service
      need to be confirmed or not
    - added option 'acme-validity-strict' to allow turning off strict checking
      of validity period mismatches on received certificate chains
      => necessary because Let's Encrypt returns a chain where the root CA
      certificate has a shorter lifetime than the issuing CA. this is a
      temporary compatibily measure to support old Android devices which don't
      have the new LE root CA certificate in their trust stores ...
    - fixed to not report "unsupported extensions" when something goes wrong
      during certificate chain status examination
    - fixed reporting of certificate chain indices
    - added possibility to dump the received certificates prior to validity
      checking (in debug mode) for troubleshooting
    - improved to load the root certificate before actually attempting to
      issue or renew a certificate to ensure that validation will be possible.
      => no more fatal validation error after issuance due to problems with
      the root certificate ...
  - AcmeClientDependency.xml: changed to require new library versions
- package net.boarderzone.asn:
  - AsnContainerValueInfo: added method getSubItem(int...) to directly access

- package net.boarderzone.gui.widget:

      column layout panels

      argument list parameter for the message parameters
  - DirectoryListPanel: added support for encoding files to Base45 and raw ZLib
  - DirectoryTreePanel: added support for encoding files to Base45 and raw ZLib
  - EmptyIcon: new utility class

    fails to prevent the error dialog from getting too large
    (the full error message can still be seen in the details ...)
  - GenericPanelDialog: added accessor method for OK button
  - GridLayoutTool: added utility methods for single column layouts
  - LoggerConsole: adapted to changed Log4j API
  - MessageDialog: limiting the maximum length of the displayed error message
    to prevent overly large dialogs (potentially exceeding the screen size)

- package net.boarderzone.plugins.filehandler.jcetools:
  - AddEntryWizard: added support for new step to enter custom extensions
  - AddEntryWizardState: added support for storing custom extensions
  - AddEntryWizardStepEnterAlternativeName: added support for UPN and DC-GUID
  - AddEntryWizardStepEnterExtensions: new step to enter custom extensions
  - AddEntryWizardStepIssueCertificate: added support for new custom extensions
- package net.boarderzone.plugins.filehandler.mscerttpleditor:
  - new file handler to edit MS certificate template XML files
- package net.boarderzone.plugins.filehandler.packviewer:
  - Packviewer: added support for decoding Base45 and raw ZLib encoded files
- package net.boarderzone.security:
  - AlternativeName:
    - added convenience methods for manipulating OtherNames:
      - UserPrincipalName
      - DomainControllerGUID
    - added support for using an AsnOIDFormatter for formatting to string
    - changed to display the text content in formatted output for the
      new UserPrincipalName and DomainControllerGUID variants
  - CertificateInspectionTool:
    - changed to use the AlternativeName.format() method for displaying the
      OtherName variants and thus re-use the support for the new variants
    - extended method getFullDN() to support using the defined ASN.1 OIDs in
      case some components of the DN are not known and represented as their
      numeric OID form in the given string: they will be replaced by the
      last component name of the OID if that is known
    - further extended method getFullDN() to attempt decoding component values
      in case they are represented as HEX values prefixed with a '#' sign
      (as is the case for some toString() implementations of X.500 names)
  - CertificateVerificationTool: added possibility to turn off strict checking
    of certificate validity period mismatches (Let's Encrypt returns a chain
    where the root certificate has a shorter lifetime than the issuing CA ...)

  - ExtensionTool: new utility class to extract extensions from certs
  - ExtensionValue: new interface for generic handling of Extension values
  - ExtensionValue*: new utiltiy classes
  - KeyStoreEntryInfo: fixed detection of secret keys to default to true if it
    is a key entry but no certificate is present while the entry is still
    inaccessible due to a still unknown key password
    => this allows to recognize secret keys with a key password when opening
       a keystore (correct icon selected rather than "unknown")

  - Base45FormatException: new I/O exception sub class
  - Base45Tool: new utility to en/decode Base45
  - Base64Tool:
    - fixed isValidBase64() to reject more bad input
