4.2.0

Release Notes for 4.2.0

This release provides a high-level API, a new (non-standard) algorithm, and validation for key length requirements.
The latter is a minor BC-break for users that aren't following the RFC recommendations.

To contain the impact of the changes and give time for people to rotate keys, we have deprecated implementations that maintain the previous behaviour and allow unsafe keys.
For more information, please read the documentation.
