Fixed

  • Fix from_jwk() for all algorithms #598

Added

v2.0.0

Changed

Drop support for Python 2 and Python 3.0-3.5

Python 3.5 is EOL so we decide to drop its support. Version 1.7.1 is the last one supporting Python 3.0-3.5.

Require cryptography >= 3

Drop support for PyCrypto and ECDSA

We’ve kept this around for a long time, mostly for environments that didn’t allow installing cryptography.

Drop CLI

Dropped the included cli entry point.

Improve typings

We no longer need to use mypy Python 2 compatibility mode (comments)

jwt.encode(...) return type

Tokens are returned as string instead of a byte string

Dropped deprecated errors

Removed ExpiredSignature, InvalidAudience, and InvalidIssuer. Use ExpiredSignatureError, InvalidAudienceError, and InvalidIssuerError instead.

Dropped deprecated verify_expiration param in jwt.decode(...)

Use jwt.decode(encoded, key, algorithms=["HS256"], options={"verify_exp": False}) instead.

Dropped deprecated verify param in jwt.decode(...)

Use jwt.decode(encoded, key, options={"verify_signature": False}) instead.

Require explicit algorithms in jwt.decode(...) by default

Example: jwt.decode(encoded, key, algorithms=["HS256"]).

Dropped deprecated require_* options in jwt.decode(...)

For example, instead of jwt.decode(encoded, key, algorithms=["HS256"], options={"require_exp": True}), use jwt.decode(encoded, key, algorithms=["HS256"], options={"require": ["exp"]}).

Added

Introduce better experience for JWKs

Introduce PyJWK, PyJWKSet, and PyJWKClient.
