========================================
- hash:
- . Added MurmurHash3 with streaming support. The following variants are implemented
+ . The following functions have changed signatures:
+
+ - function hash(string $algo, string $data, bool $binary = false, array $options = []): string|false {}
+ - function hash_file(string $algo, string $filename, bool $binary = false, array $options = []): string|false {}
+ - function hash_init(string $algo, int $flags = 0, string $key = "", array $options = []): HashContext {}
+
+ The additional `$options` argument can be used to pass algorithm specific data.
+
+ . Added MurmurHash3 with streaming support. The following variants are implemented:
- murmur3a, 32-bit hash
- murmur3c, 128-bit hash for x86
- murmur3f, 128-bit hash for x64
+ The initial hash state can be passed through the `seed` key in the `$options` array, for example:
+
+ ```php
+ $h = hash("murmur3f", $data, options: ["seed" => 42]);
+ echo $h, "\n";
+ ```
+
+ A valid seed value is within the range from 0 to the plaform defined UINT_MAX, usually 4294967295.
