## Unreleased

- Replace SHA-1 with SHA-256 for proof-of-work stamps
- Mine stamps in a Web Worker using pure JS SHA-256 (keeps the main thread unblocked)
- Mine stamps in a Web Worker using WebGPU compute shader (order of magnitude faster), with automatic fallback to pure JS SHA-256 for older browsers
- Support SHA-1 fallback on the backend for backward compatibility (via the `ext` stamp field)

## 0.4.0 (2025-05-15)
