To those who may have read the last post about the library here, the most notable improvements since then are (full changelog):
- Support for Poly1305, ChaCha20Poly1305, XChaCha20 and XChaCha20Poly1305.
- I ended up removing the symmetric encryption interface in the high-level API in version 0.8, because it took me longer to get to this release than I had anticipated. Now it has been re-introduced with authenticated encryption.
If you are unfamiliar with orion, you can read more about it in this post.
Hopefully somebody finds this useful.
