* Version 0.4.2
- All NaCl constants are now also exposed as functions.
- The Android and iOS cross-compilation script have been improved.
- libsodium can now be cross-compiled to Windows from Linux.
- libsodium can now be compiled with emscripten.
- New convenience function (prototyped in utils.h): sodium_bin2hex().

Changes from previous version:
* Version 0.4.1
- sodium_version_*() functions were not exported in version 0.4. They
are now visible as intended.
- sodium_init() now calls randombytes_stir().
- optimized assembly version of salsa20 is now used on amd64.
- further cleanups and enhanced compatibility with non-C99 compilers.
* Version 0.4
- Most constants and operations are now available as actual functions
instead of macros, making it easier to use from other languages.
- New operation: crypto_generichash, featuring a variable key size, a
variable output size, and a streaming API. Currently implemented using
Blake2b.
- The package can be compiled in a separate directory.
- aes128ctr functions are exported.
- Optimized versions of curve25519 (curve25519_donna_c64), poly1305
(poly1305_53) and ed25519 (ed25519_ref10) are available. Optionally calling
sodium_init() once before using the library makes it pick the fastest
implementation.
- New convenience function: sodium_memzero() in order to securely
wipe a memory area.
- A whole bunch of cleanups and portability enhancements.
- On Windows, a .REF file is generated along with the shared library,
for use with Visual Studio. The installation path for these has become
$prefix/bin as expected by MingW.

in PR 47600.
NaCl (pronounced "salt") is a new easy-to-use high-speed
software library for network communication, encryption, decryption,
signatures, etc.
NaCl's goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to
build higher-level cryptographic tools.
libsodium is a library for network communication, encryption,
decryption, signatures, etc.
libsodium is a portable, cross-compilable, installable,
packageable, API-compatible version for NaCl.
One minor change was to take the "check" target out of the post-build
state and put it into the TEST_TARGET definition.
