v2.0.19 09 Jan 2024
[New Features]
  * [jws] Added jws.IsVerificationError to check if the error returned by `jws.Verify`
    was caused by actual verification step or something else, for example, while fetching
    a key from datasource

[Security Fixes]
  * [jws] JWS messages formated in full JSON format (i.e. not the compact format, which
    consists of three base64 strings concatenated with a '.') with missing "protected"
    headers could cause a panic, thereby introducing a possiblity of a DoS.

    This has been fixed so that the `jws.Parse` function succeeds in parsing a JWS message
    lacking a protected header. Calling `jws.Verify` on this same JWS message will result
    in a failed verification attempt. Note that this behavior will differ slightly when
    parsing JWS messages in compact form, which result in an error.
