We're working on `botan`, a cryptographic kitchen sink, and after 8 months of work, we've reached an important milestone: we've successfully published the first released version `0.0.1` of [botan-bindings][botan-bindings] and [botan-low][botan-low], and `botan` has made it to [package candidate][botan] status!

Botan is an comprehensive, open-source, BSD-licenced, C++ cryptography library with a stable C API. It offers a broad variety of functionality and algorithms, including **post-quantum cryptography**, is developed and maintained by an active community, and has been [audited][botan audit] in the past.

## What are our goals?

We seek to provide trusted, open-source cryptography solutions to you. Much of the existing Haskell cryptography ecosystem is aging, unmaintained and unaudited, or very limited in scope, we are seeking to improve that.

As we all know, perfect is the enemy of good; no software is perfect the first time, and we release things when they work, and then continue to improve them. And so we hope that this is simply the first version and first step on a journey of many improvements small and large.

With this milestone, the project enters a new phase in the software development lifecycle - maintenance and development. During initial development, we were nimble, and could make choices arbitrarily - but now that we have something that works, with an initial release and users, we have to keep it working all the while we continue further development. We now have other people invested in this, and can't make choices willy-nilly - we owe it to our users and stakeholders to listen to them.
