Cryptography has crept into everything, from web browsers and email programs to cell phones, bank cards, cars and even into medical implants. Thus, an increasing number of people have to understand how crypto schemes work and how they can be used in practice. We wanted to create a book that teaches modern applied cryptography to readers with a technical background but without an education in pure mathematics.  

Stop writing your changelogs manually

How do you usually keep track of the changes in your projects? Do you use GitHub releases? Do you update your changelogs manually? In this article, I will explain how I handle this topic. This is just one way of doing it, feel free to stick around if you are interested in the topic 🔥
