5.0.0 Beta 1

First beta release of major version 5.

Add missing platform specifiers

This patch was authored and released by @gwynne.

JWTKit and Vapor both already have the additional platforms.

Add `@discardableResult` attribute to `verify(as:)` functions

This patch was authored by @jiahan-wu and released by @0xTim.

Marks JWT's verify(as:) functions with @discardableResult so you can verify then without reading the contents in a clean way. For example

let _ = try req.jwt.verify(as: Payload.self)

Can become:

try req.jwt.verify(as: Payload.self)

Drop support for Swift 5.2 and 5.3

This patch was authored and released by @0xTim.

This removes support for Swift 5.2 and Swift 5.3, making Swift 5.4 the earliest supported version as
announced

Add support for `async`/`await`

This patch was authored and released by @0xTim.

Adds async APIs for JWT calls when interacting with JWKS servers

Make JWT helpers extendable

This patch was authored and released by @tanner0101.

This change publicizes internal properties on JWT helpers to make them more easily extendable (#131, fixes #125).

// Custom extension
extension Request.JWT {
    // Methods now have access to the request
    func myVerifier() {
        print(self._request) // Current request
    }
}

// Usage
req.jwt.myVerifier()

The property names have been prefixed with _ to prevent autocomplete from suggesting things like:

req.jwt.request

⚠️ Note: Application.JWT and Request.JWT's initializers have been removed. These were redundant and can be declared much more concisely:

- Application.JWT(application: app)
+ app.jwt

- Request.JWT(request: req)
+ req.jwt

Add Microsoft JWT helpers

This patch was authored and released by @tanner0101.

Adds new helper methods for verifying Microsoft JWTs (#130, #121).

// Configure your Microsoft application identifier.
app.jwt.microsoft.applicationIdentifier = "..."

// Fetch and verify Microsoft identity token from Bearer header.
// Microsoft's JWKS is downloaded and cached automatically.
req.jwt.microsoft.verify().map { token in
    print(token) // MicrosoftIdentityToken
}
