It collects the low-level primitives those tools rely on: wire structures, cryptographic key formats, identifier types, and parsers for the binary blobs that Windows and Active Directory hand you. The goal is that a tool author never has to re-implement a security descriptor parser or a UUID generator from scratch.</p> <p>In this release, v1.0.6, I focused on two fronts. The first is breadth: new Windows CNG/BCrypt key structures and the remaining members of the UUID family. The second is consistency: a sweep across the codebase to align naming and parsing APIs so that everything behaves the same way.</p>
