Quick question, I had apparently Pinboarded this in March 2014. I see the PDF is still pre-release. Has anything changed with this, or is it kinda just coming up again because of recent political climate.

I'm fine either way, just curious if this has changed drastically from what I had looked at previously.




Paragraph "Development" (page 14 in the current version) answers your question:

"The entire Crypto 101 project is publicly developed on GitHub under the crypto101 organization, including this book: https://github.com/crypto101/book "

[...]

"The copy of this book that you are reading right now is based on the git commit with hash 3f89ec3 , also known as 0.4.0-22-g3f89ec3"

Then, looking at the commits, yes the book changed a lot since 2014: https://github.com/crypto101/book/commits/master


Hi! I'm the author.

I should stop calling it a pre-release. There's no useful "done" marker. It includes most of the material I wanted to talk about, and has for a while. You should update the PDF though; as the other commenter mentioned, it does get updated :)


> There's no useful "done" marker.

Well, maybe when there are no more "TODOs" ;)


That doesn't work too well when they get added faster than they get removed; which is what I mean by "no useful done marker". There's an issue tracker now instead of TODOs in the document (not to say that all of them have been removed) -- I don't think that _actually_ improves anything except optics :)
