v3.0.0

Version 3.0.0 🎉

The defining aspect of this version is support for cross references. Cross
references allow a DSA to "bookmark" the DSAs that were involved in servicing
a previous request, so that, in chaining subsequent requests, the correct DSA
can be used directly, rather than routing the request through a first-level DSA.

New Features / Improvements

• Using cross references for routing purposes
• Returning cross references
• Requesting cross references from other DSAs
• More performant and correct namingContexts attribute
• More resilient and performant updating of superior DSAs
• Better logging surrounding name resolution
• Signature verification is faster and more resilient
• Chained results get verified
• Chained results returned from other DSAs get re-signed if they need it

Bug Fixes

• Log invalid DSP signatures received from chained results.
• Wrong error code returned to DOP associations
  • The operationalBindingError was being coded as a securityError.
• Bug where results received from chaining could get cross-wired
  • Meaning that a request might receive a result that belongs to another
    different request.
• Time-related signatures verification issues
  • Signatures on certificates could be wrongfully rejected if verified at
    certain times of the year (due to a bizarre, undocumented behavior in
    ECMAScript).

Upgrading

This is a breaking change, because the database schema had to be changed in a
breaking manner. If you upgrade to this version, you will need to repopulate
a new Meerkat DSA database.
