Roadmap for 7.6 and beyond

I am currently working on the following features:

1. password-based key derivation [DONE]

2. hash-based key derivation
   This is almost ready, and I will soon submit a pull request.

3. authenticated encryption
   This builds upon #111, which I would like to (ideally) merge first.

These features will definitely be ready for 7.6.

For the next development series, I will implement:

• stream-based encryption
  This will allow us to encrypt large files with library(crypto).

Other features are implemented as they become requested. If you need a feature urgently, please file an issue.
