- This release removes the optimized assembly implementations. RC4 is insecure
- and should only be used for compatibility with legacy systems.
+ This release removes the assembly implementations, leaving only
+ the pure Go version. The Go compiler generates code that is
+ either slightly better or slightly worse, depending on the exact
+ CPU. RC4 is insecure and should only be used for compatibility
+ with legacy systems.
