Tink v1.4.0-rc2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-05-15 // almost 4 years ago

  • Tink is a multi-language, cross-platform library that provides simple and misuse-proof APIs for common cryptographic tasks.

    This is Tink 1.4.0-rc2.

    🔄 Changes

    🚀 This release candidate adds things that we want to ship in 1.4.0, but didn't have a chance to add them to 1.4.0-rc1, such as:

    • a proper fix for the infamous Protobuf issue in Tink for Android.
    • 👍 a better go.mod config.
    • 🚀 many changes in Tink Python that didn't make the last release cut.

    The complete list of changes since 1.4.0-rc1 can be found here.

    Installation

    C++

    Known issues
