Hello!

[pgsodium](https://github.com/michelp/pgsodium) 2.0.0 is a postgres extension that uses the [libsodium](https://doc.libsodium.org/) library to provide high-performance, modern cryptography support for PostgreSQL 10+.

2.0.0 includes a ton of new feature and a few bug-fixes:

* Support for [XChaCha20-SIV](https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium-xchacha20-siv) deterministic nonce-free encryption
* Support for [SignCryption](https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium-signcryption) Sign & Encrypt identity verification
* Key id support for HMACSHA 512/256, generichash, and shorthash
* Support for low level [XChaCha20 streaming](https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/advanced/stream_ciphers/xchacha20)
* More tests, docs, and small bug fixes in argument parsing
* In-memory key now protected with [sodium\_malloc](https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/memory_management)
