Re: Crypt_HMAC???

The "Digest" name was considered cryptic (to make a pun ;-), when I firs proposed the package (it was its original name). For some reason that I do not completely recall (and being connected w/ a slow modem does not help searching the archives), the final name of "Message" had more adherents. As for changing the name to Crypt_Digest. It would be OK, as long as it is noticed in the current Message page that such name change has occurred, and that future code will be released under that name. That way people that are using PEAR::Message can migrate to the new name. Do not see much of a problem if there is a migration pathway. --- Michael Bretterklieber <mbretter@jawa.at> wrote: > Hi, > > Jesus M.
