Change History

15 Dec 2002	Version 2.1, which now supports binary string outputs. For wider compatibility, the nested functions are gone and the semi-colons are back. I've dropped backwards compatibility for the calcMD5() style interface.
02 Oct 2002	Significant rewrite, sufficient to call this version 2.0. The code now supports base-64 output, unicode string input and HMAC. Version 1.0 of the scripts are still available.
25 June 2001	Renamed the add function to safe_add because add is a reserved word in ActionScript. Reported by Amanuel Workneh.
8 May 2001	All variables are now prefixed with `var` to make them local. Suggested by Richard Mitchell and Ian Richardson.
25 Jan 2001	The code now works on Macintoshes, thanks to Greg Holt and Andrew Kepert.
1 July 2000	Restuctured code a bit for better readability.
6 May 2000	The code now returns a lower-case hex string, like most MD5 functions. Thanks to Brian Lozier for noticing this. If you want upper-case: `calcMD5("message").toUpperCase()`
25 Mar 2000	Code changed to use `charCodeAt` function instead of the dodgy `sAscii` variable. Thanks to Erik Johnson.
8 Mar 2000	Calls to Math.pow removed, now I've discovered the `>>>` operator.
15 Feb 2000	The code now works in Opera, because Peter Valach fixed a precedence problem.
