Description
This crate provides Rust bindings to the HQC key encapsulation mechanism
via C implementations from
[PQClean](https://github.com/PQClean/PQClean). The PQClean project is being
archived in or after July 2026 (see [PQClean/PQClean#604](https://github.com/PQClean/PQClean/issues/604)),
after which no further security patches or bug fixes will be applied to the
upstream implementations.
As a result, this crate will no longer receive updates. Users should migrate
to actively maintained alternatives.
