SHA-512/1024
I'll be starting work on building new, pure php versions of SHA-512 and likely SHA-1024 for an upcoming project (i.e. framework). Although I don't have them done yet, nor have I really started on them, I do have plans to build them soon. What timeframe that actually means is beyond me, but I hope to have them either this month or next.
I'm wondering how many of you would like to get at these classes prior to the release of said framework?
I will also be re-engineering my SHA-256 class to both accommodate the new class structure, but also to simplify its use and promote interchanability between using 256, 512, 1024 or some future hashing construct including non-SHA based hashing routines. The first release(s) will be built against PHP 5.1+ (Strict), but I will make a backport to PHP 4.x (exact compatibility limit indeterminent as of now).
Any questions, feel free to ask. As always, I (we) will try to answer them as best we can.

I'm a patient one. As long as the existing sha-256 class remains available, any future improvements are just gravy.feyd wrote:I'm wondering how many of you would like to get at these classes prior to the release of said framework?
As to the backport/compat issue, I can't run it if its php5-only, so I'm definitely all for the backport.

In this case, people who have no need for it have no impact on the question. Whether Feyd delays the release or not, someone who doesn't need it at all won't care either way.jshpro2 wrote:You can't rely on the absence of a vote as a vote for "no", that would produce inaccurate results
Hence, the back button *is* the correct answer for those few individuals, and it doesn't produce inaccurate results - because Feyd wasn't asking how many people need it. He was asking when the people that DO need it need it by.
