Sanitize v5.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-06-06 // almost 4 years ago

  • 🔄 Changes

    • The term "whitelist" has been replaced with "allowlist" throughout Sanitize's source and documentation.

    While the etymology of "whitelist" may not be explicitly racist in origin or intent, there are inherent racial connotations in the implication that white is good and black (as in "blacklist") is not.

    This is a change I should have made long ago, and I apologize for not making it sooner.

    • In transformer input, the :is_whitelisted and :node_whitelist keys are now deprecated. New :is_allowlisted and :node_allowlist keys have been added. The old keys will continue to work in order to avoid breaking existing code, but they are no longer documented and may be removed in a future semver major release.
