v5.0.0: Support Node.js worker threads

Supported Node.js versions: 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
Node.js 8 and 10 are not tested anymore but should work.

Changes

• Added support for running this add-on in Node.js worker threads.
• Major version bumped to v5.0.0: worker threads are available in Node.js 12 and later, so Node.js 8 and 10 were dropped from CI to simplify the testing workflow -- they have reached their upstream support end-of-life, as well, in Dec 2019 and Apr 2021, respectively. v5.0.0 still works fine wtih Node.js 8 and 10, with the caveat that tests using worker threads will fail.
• Minor code improvements.
• Updated dependencies to latest versions.

v4.1.1: Include neon sources in npm package

Supported node versions: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17

Changes

• Hotfix for v4.1.0, that was published to npm registry without neon/ sources.

v4.1.0: Architecture-specific builds

Supported node versions: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17

Changes

• Architecture-specific builds (added support for non-x86_64, non-x86 platforms)
• "sse" variant built on x86_64 and x86 platforms (as in previous versions of node-blake2)
• "neon" variant built on arm64 platforms (added support for building the implementation that uses NEON/ASIMD ARM instruction set on Apple M1 and other aarch64 platforms)
• "ref" variant built on all other platforms (generic implementation, simple and portable)
• Upgrade nan to 2.15.0 (latest)
• Migrated CI from Travis to GitHub Actions

v4.0.2: Explicit support for node 15

Supported node versions: 8, 10, 12, 14, 15

Changes

• Add node 15 environment to CI configuration
• Upgrade nan to 2.14.2 (latest)
• Upgrade mocha to 7.2.0 (latest version that supports node 8)

v4.0.1: Explicit support for node 14

Supported node versions: 8, 10, 12, 14

Changes

• Explicit support for node 14 (CI setup, no code changes)
• Upgrade nan to 2.14.1 (latest)
• Upgrade mocha to 7.1.2 (latest)
• Upgrade eslint to 6.7.2 (latest version that supports node 8)

v4.0.0: fix incorrect BLAKE2bp wrapper implementation

Note on breaking change

In BLAKE2bp initalization, instead of passing digestLength as specified by the consumer, constant BLAKE2B_OUTBYTES = 64 was always passed, and then first digestLength bytes were taken from the resulting 64-bit digest.

@jbowes added support for specifying digest length in this commit:

4d73876#diff-672b939c4bdf28c42fc7ba5da56105dbR108

but forgot to update init for BLAKE2bp, and rigged the unit test to expect the incorrect output value.

This fix warrants a major version bump (v4.0.0), as it breaks backwards compatibility with blake2bp digests shorter than 64 bytes that were created with previous versions of node-blake2. I.e. all BLAKE2bp digests shorter than 64 bytes created with older versions of this package are computed incorrectly.

Other variants (BLAKE2s, BLAKE2sp, BLAKE2b) are not affected.

Changes

• Fix incorrect BLAKE2bp wrapper implementation
• Update BLAKE2 source to BLAKE2/BLAKE2@997fa5b
• Test build on Windows and update build instructions
