Since Base32 doesn’t distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters, I’ve added support for decoding lowercase Base32. This makes Pijul nicer to use and doesn’t add any ambiguity.
For example,
pijul change 3uz65kyc2ylfxrqal7adpxzjhvsosjur44fxkqn2wkbixamalmgacis now treated the same aspijul change 3UZ65KYC2YLFXRQAL7ADPXZJHVSOSJUR44FXKQN2WKBIXAMALMGAC.Note that this patch doesn’t affect encoding, so all encoded Base32 still uses uppercase letters.
