 CHANGELOG

+v1.15.4 - 2025-11-19
+Quality of life fixes for CSR generation.
+
+v1.15.3 - 2025-11-19
+Minor bug fixes.
+
+v1.15.2 - 2025-11-19
+Minor bug fixes.
+
+v1.15.1 - 2025-11-19
+
+Changed:
+- linter fixes.
+
+Removed:
+- mnd removed from linter.
+
+v1.15.0 - 2025-11-19
+
+Changed:
+- lib: fetcher and dialer moved to separate packages.
+- cmd/ca-signed: cleaned up code internally.
+- lib: add base64 encoding to HexEncode.
+- linter fixes.
+
+Added:
+- certlib/certgen: add support for generating and signing certificates.
+
+v1.14.6 - 2025-11-18
+
+Added:
+- certlib: move tlskeypair functions into certlib.
+
+v1.14.5 - 2025-11-18
+
+Changed:
+- certlib/verify: fix a nil-pointer dereference.
+
+v1.14.4 - 2025-11-18
+
+Added:
+- certlib/ski: add support for return certificate SKI.
+- certlib/verify: add support for verifying certificates.
+
+Changed:
+- certlib/dump: moved more functions into the dump package.
+- cmd: many certificate-related commands had their functionality moved into
+  certlib.
+
+v1.14.3 - 2025-11-18
+
+Added:
+- certlib/dump: the certificate dumping functions have been moved into
+  their own package.
+
+Changed:
+- cmd/certdump: refactor out most of the functionality into certlib/dump.
+- cmd/kgz: add extended metadata support.
+
+v1.14.2 - 2025-11-18
+
+Added:
+- lib: add tooling for generating baseline TLS configs.
+
+Changed:
+- cmd: update all commands to allow the use strict TLS configs. Note that
+  many of these tools are intended for debugging broken or insecure TLS
+  systems, and the ability to support insecure TLS configurations is
+  important in this regard.
+
+v1.14.1 - 2025-11-18
+
+Added:
+- build: add missing Dockerfile.
+
+v1.14.0 - 2025-11-18
+
+Added:
+- lib/dialer: introduce proxy-aware dialers and helpers:
+  - NewNetDialer and NewTLSDialer honoring SOCKS5_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY
+    (case-insensitive) with precedence SOCKS5 > HTTPS > HTTP.
+  - DialTCP and DialTLS convenience functions; DialTLS performs a TLS handshake
+    and returns a concrete *tls.Conn.
+  - NewHTTPClient: returns a proxy-aware *http.Client. Uses SOCKS5 proxy when
+    configured (disables HTTP(S) proxying to avoid double-proxying); otherwise
+    relies on http.ProxyFromEnvironment (respects HTTP(S)_PROXY and NO_PROXY).
+- build: the releasse-docker.sh builds and pushes the correct Docker images.
+
+Changed:
+- cmd: migrate tools to new proxy-aware helpers where appropriate:
+  - certchain, stealchain, tlsinfo: use lib.DialTLS.
+  - cert-revcheck: use lib.DialTLS for site connects and a proxy-aware
+    HTTP client for OCSP/CRL fetches.
+  - rhash: use proxy-aware HTTP client for downloads.
+- lib/fetch: migrate from certlib/fetch.go to lib/fetch.go and use DialTLS
+  under the hood.
+- go.mod: add golang.org/x/net dependency (for SOCKS5 support) and align x/crypto.
+
+Notes:
+- HTTP(S) proxy CONNECT supports optional basic auth via proxy URL credentials.
+- HTTPS proxies are TLS-wrapped prior to CONNECT.
+- Timeouts apply to TCP connects, proxy handshakes, and TLS handshakes; context
+  cancellation is honored.
+- Some commands retain bespoke dialing (e.g., IPv6-only or unix sockets) and
+  were intentionally left unchanged.
+
+v1.13.6 - 2025-11-18

+v1.13.3 - 2025-11-18
+
+Added:
+- certlib: introduce `Fetcher` for retrieving certificates.
+- lib: `HexEncode` gains a byte-slice output variant.
+- build: add GoReleaser configuration.
+
+Changed:
+- cmd: migrate programs to use `certlib.Fetcher` for certificate retrieval

 kgz is like gzip, but supports compressing and decompressing to a different
 directory than the source file is in.

-Usage: kgz [-l] source [target]
+Usage: kgz [-l] [-k] [-m] [-x] [--uid N] [--gid N] source [target]

-If target is a directory, the basename of the sourcefile will be used
+If target is a directory, the basename of the source file will be used
 as the target filename. Compression and decompression is selected
 based on whether the source filename ends in ".gz".

 Flags:
-	-l level	Compression level (0-9). Only meaninful when
-			    compressing a file.
+	-l level    Compression level (0-9). Only meaningful when compressing.
    -u          Do not restrict the size during decompression. As
                a safeguard against gzip bombs, the maximum size
                allowed is 32 * the compressed file size.
+    -k          Keep the source file (do not remove it after successful
+                compression or decompression).
+    -m          On decompression, set the file mtime from the gzip header.

+Metadata notes:
+- mtime is stored in the standard gzip header and restored with -m.
+- uid/gid/mode/ctime are stored in a kgz-specific Extra subfield as an ASN.1
