### Breaking Changes
|
||||
- `ShaToHex` now requires what hash was used.
|
||||
|
||||
### New Features
|
||||
- LMDB support is available with the `--with-lmdb` flag.
|
||||
- MbedTLS summort is available with the `--with-mbed` flag. Please note that Cytoplasm
|
||||
programs using it must be used with the `CYTO_TLS_CA` environment defined to map to a
|
||||
valid CA file, and that the `CYTO_TLS_SEED` flag can be set to use a seedfile, increasing
|
||||
entropy on systems where it is unavailable.

If TLS support is not enabled, all APIs that use it should fall back to non-TLS behavior in a sensible manner. For example, if TLS support is not enabled, then the HTTP client API will simply return an error if a TLS connection is requested.

The `configure` script has a number of optional flags, which are as follows:

- `--with-(openssl|libressl)`: Select the TLS implementation to use. OpenSSL is selected by default.
|

- `--with-(openssl|libressl|mbed)`: Select the TLS implementation to use. OpenSSL is selected by default.
|

- `--disable-tls`: Disable TLS altogether.
|

- `--prefix=<path>`: Set the install prefix to set by default in the `Makefile`. This defaults to `/usr/local`, which should be appropriate for most Unix-like systems.
|

- `--(enable|disable)-debug`: Control whether or not to enable debug mode. This sets the optimization level to 0 and builds with debug symbols. Useful for running with a debugger.

Like, why bother with `return true` on success, when you could just keep going and load all the CA stores you can find? If the answer is no, you can only load one CA store, then that makes sense. I'm just curious if we could be *even more* flexible and load multiple.
**However**, I don't think this behavior should be specific to Mbed. If we're going to use `CYTO_TLS_CA` to modify Cytoplasm's runtime behavior in loading certificate stores, shouldn't all of the *other* TLS implementations honor this environment variable too?
For example, say I'm a sysadmin at a large corporation with tons of self-signed certificates for internal services. Instead of installing the certificate authority to the system, I want to just set `CYTO_TLS_CA` to my CA store. I'm on a Linux system so I can use OpenSSL, but the TLS implementation really shouldn't matter. Though I guess it might determine what format the CA store must be in. But the point is, the behavior should be consistent across all implementations.

You actually *can*(if you look under the MbedTLS hood, loading a directory of PEM files is essentially just loading every PEM directly), so I just added that.
As for the `CYTO_TLS_CA`, I'm not sure I can exactly replicate that behavior around LibreSSL, as the functions used to replace certs with it seem to *overwrite* the current option, rather than just adding it alongside. We *could* just also do that on the MbedTLS side, but I don't know if that'd be a good thing...

Ah, that's a bummer. I suppose maybe it would suffice to have Doe that make sense? Does that sound like a good idea? Ah, that's a bummer. I suppose maybe it would suffice to have `CYTO_TLS_CA` replace the system's CA store for all implementations. In other words, have Libre and Open check `CYTO_TLS_CA` and load the store given by that variable if it is set, otherwise do nothing and assume that they load the system store. For Mbed, only check and load the other certificate stores if `CYTO_TLS_CA` is unset, so that the behavior is consistent across all three implementations: if `CYTO_TLS_CA` is set, use *only* that store, otherwise use the system stores, and in the case of Mbed, try to determine what those stores are.
Doe that make sense? Does that sound like a good idea?

Forgive me for not understanding MbedTLS that well, but why does this need to be sourced from the environment? Can't we randomly generate a seed? What's the use case for using the same seed more than once?
It doesn't have to in most cases(MbedTLS will try to use things like
/dev/random
if possible) but considering how POSIX doesn't really mandate such sources to exist in the first place (and that I really wouldn't use something like theRand
API for cryptographic tasks), and I think having an optional source of extra randomness, if possible, may be worth it.I agree, and that's the real problem here. Ideally, we should use the Rand API to generate the MbedTLS seed. The fact that we can't because Rand isn't cryptographically secure is a problem of its own that, in my opinion, should be fixed first before we start relying on environment variables.
I'd like Cytoplasm to very much be link-and-forget. It shouldn't have any special runtime dependencies like this. I don't even know how we'd trust the user to set the seed properly. If the system doesn't have some source of entropy that we can draw from, then I don't know how the user could generate a seed. Because if they can do it on the machine we're running on, then so can we, and so should we. Otherwise, they'd have to generate it on a different machine and then copy it over to the machine executing this Cytoplasm code? That seems pretty impractical, particularly because every time Cytoplasm is started, (or every time this function is called?) the seed needs to be freshly generated.
