Thanks @TimWolla for identifying a performance hit caused by attempting to find global functions such as strlen() in the current namespace before the global namespace.

What's Changed

• Improve sodium implementation performance by @TimWolla in #64
• Replace qualifiers with imports by @paragonie-security in #65

Full Changelog: v3.1.1...v3.1.2

What's Changed

• Fixed #27 by making the test less redundant.

Full Changelog: v3.1.0...v3.1.1

Important: If you enable ext-sodium, some codecs will now be faster with our library: hex, base64, base64url. This requires the actual extension be installed; sodium_compat will not provide these implementations.

As with the recent sodium_compat release, this library now incorporates fuzz-testing and mutation testing as part of our development strategy. Fuzz testing is enabled on pull requests; mutation tests on releases.

The current metrics for a mutation test run (using the latest version of Infection):

 1782 mutations were generated:
    1470 mutants were killed by Test Framework
     296 covered mutants were not detected
       5 errors were encountered
      11 time outs were encountered
Metrics:
         Mutation Code Coverage: 100%
         Covered Code MSI: 83%

We set the minimum MSI for covered code to 80% by policy, but will slowly be increasing it in future releases.
