🚀 Major Rewrite

Complete rewrite replacing node-forge with modern @peculiar/x509 and pkijs libraries.

✨ Added

• Native WebCrypto API support for better performance and security
• TypeScript examples in documentation
• Async/await support as the primary API
• Support for keyPair option to use existing keys
• Updated to use Node.js native crypto for all operations
• Separate selfsigned/pkcs7 module for tree-shakeable PKCS#7 support

💥 BREAKING CHANGES

1. Async-only API: The generate() function now returns a Promise. Synchronous generation has been removed.

   // Old (v4.x)
   const pems = selfsigned.generate(attrs, options);
   
   // New (v5.x)
   const pems = await selfsigned.generate(attrs, options);

2. No callback support: Callbacks have been completely removed in favor of Promises.

   // Old (v4.x)
   selfsigned.generate(attrs, options, function(err, pems) { ... });
   
   // New (v5.x)
   const pems = await selfsigned.generate(attrs, options);

3. Minimum Node.js version: Now requires Node.js >= 15.6.0 (was >= 10)

   • Required for native WebCrypto support

4. Dependencies changed:

   • ❌ Removed: node-forge (1.64 MB)
   • ✅ Added: @peculiar/x509 (551 KB) - 66% smaller!
   • ✅ Added: pkijs (1.94 MB, only for PKCS#7 support)
   • Bundle size reduced by 66% when not using PKCS#7

5. PKCS#7 API changed:

   • Old: const pems = await generate(attrs, { pkcs7: true }); pems.pkcs7
   • New: const { createPkcs7 } = require('selfsigned/pkcs7'); const pkcs7 = createPkcs7(pems.cert);
   • PKCS#7 is now a separate module for better tree-shaking

🔧 Changed

• Default key size remains 2048 bits (was incorrectly documented as 1024)
• PEM output uses \n line endings (was \r\n)
• Private keys now use PKCS#8 format (BEGIN PRIVATE KEY instead of BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY)
• Certificate generation is now fully async using native WebCrypto
• PKCS#7 is now tree-shakeable: Moved to separate selfsigned/pkcs7 module so bundlers can exclude it when not used

🐛 Fixed

• Default key size documentation corrected from 1024 to 2048 bits
• Improved error handling for certificate generation failures

📦 Dependencies

Removed:

• node-forge@^1.3.1
• @types/node-forge@^1.3.0

Added:

• @peculiar/x509@​^1.14.2 (required)
• pkijs@^3.3.3 (required, but tree-shakeable via separate selfsigned/pkcs7 module)

🔒 Security

• Now uses Node.js native WebCrypto API instead of JavaScript implementation
• Better integration with platform security features
• More secure random number generation

📚 Documentation

• Complete README rewrite with async/await examples
• Added migration guide from v4.x to v5.x
• Updated all code examples to use async/await
• Added requirements section highlighting Node.js version requirement
