We have heard that +some external users of Go would be interested in this code as well, so +I intend to create a new branch dev.boringcrypto that will hold +patches to make Go use BoringCrypto. + +Unlike typical dev branches, we do not intend any eventual merge of +this code into the master branch. Instead we intend to maintain in +that branch the latest release plus BoringCrypto patches. In this +sense it is a bit like dev.typealias holding go1.8+type alias patches. + +To be clear, we are not making any statements or representations about +the suitability of this code in relation to the FIPS 140-2 standard. +Interested users will have to evaluate for themselves whether the code +is useful for their own purposes. diff --git a/VERSION b/VERSION deleted file mode 100644 index 3e144cd980..0000000000 --- a/VERSION +++ /dev/null @@ -1 +0,0 @@ -go1.8.3
