Hi, |

Here's a batch of three followup patches to GLEP 74 (Manifest), |
4 |
to be reviewed separately from the previous set: |
5 |
|
6 |
1. Add a changelog to the GLEP. |
7 |
2. Explicitly list supported hash algorithms. |
8 |
3. Explicitly list supported compressed Manifest formats. |

Originally I didn't want to include these lists in GLEP 74 because |
12 |
I didn't want to update the spec whenever we were to add a new hash. |
13 |
However, from retrospective this seems wrong. In the end, new hashes |
14 |
are not something that happens every month (we didn't add any since |
15 |
the GLEP was published) and updating the GLEP is relatively cheap. |
16 |
At the same time, having a formal, well-defined list of algorithms |
17 |
is good for interoperability. |
18 |
|
19 |
I have also considered the option of listing the algorithms |
20 |
in a separate GLEP but I think this option would only cause unnecessary |
21 |
confusion. |
