wohali commented on issue #1160: Add support for Bcrypt password hashing URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/1160#issuecomment-405986847 @pierrekilly @janl unfortunately bcrypt is terminally broken on Windows, as it is missing the BSD libc extensions (queue.h) and a useful pthreads implementation. Further, it seems to me that it makes no sense for our NIF to link to a function that is, itself, launching pthreads. Surely this will wreak havoc with the Erlang scheduler? /cc @davisp I am unfortunately going to have to remove this functionality to unblock the 2.2 release for now, as we can't hold up the release waiting for a rewrite. I have restored the `bcrypt` branch so that work can be ongoing for this in a future release. I will attempt to cherry-pick any bcrypt changes that landed post-`bcrypt` to that branch as a convenience. Since both PRs have landed, I will open a new ticket for this issue to track work going forward.
