This is Cryspen's first release of HACL Packages! 🎉

HACL Packages provides modern cryptographic algorithms based on almost a decade of (research) work in formally verified cryptography.
This release was produced in close collaboration with the HACL* team at Inria and Microsoft Research with funding from Nomadic Labs, the Tezos foundation, and the ERC.

With this release, we make the work available to a broader audience.

Several months of work on a new build system, tests, and documentation went into this.
And we will keep on improving HACL Packages -- stay tuned for more updates!

This release includes an overhauled build system for the low-level hacl-star-raw package and performance improvements across the board, notably to BLAKE2b.
