    Hi everyone,
    I’m happy to announce the release of argon2-cffi 21.2.0!
    With more than 13 million downloads per month, argon2-cffi is the most popular package for using the competition-winning Argon2 password hash in Python.
    If you want more details on Argon2 and why it matters, check out my blog post Storing Passwords in a Highly Parallelized World <https://hynek.me/articles/storing-passwords/>.
    Heartfelt thanks go to my generous GitHub sponsors <https://github.com/sponsors/hynek>, companies subscribing on Tidelift <https://tidelift.com/subscription/pkg/pypi-argon2-cffi> (currently nobody :( – tell your boss!), and people who bought me a coffee on https://ko-fi.com/the_hynek!
    Support like that makes me work on FOSS on a Sunday afternoon, so please consider supporting me too: <https://hynek.me/say-thanks/>! <3
