Validation documentation update #38

Closed Vlix closed 3 years ago

Vlix commented 3 years ago

New branch created from @agentultra's contribution.

Adding link to the NIST publication and changing the defaults for the password validation.

Vlix commented 3 years ago

I finished up this documentation too, but I'd like one last review on any spelling/typos, AND not sure if a PATCH update would be enough? We made the defaultPasswordPolicy more lax, so some passwords that would not be valid with password-2.1.0.0 might suddenly be valid if the user only used the default policy. Would that be enough to necessitate a 2.1.1.0 increase? (Or even a 2.2.0.0?) After that is decided we can do a release.

Vlix commented 3 years ago

I decided on upping password to 2.1.1.0, since changing the internals of defaultPasswordPolicy is not just a patch, and it's not really breaking the API or anything.

Will double check spelling and then upload to stackage, unless there are any new objections.

Vlix commented 3 years ago

I've uploaded password-2.1.1.0 and password-instances-2.0.0.2 to hackage.
