Description

pqcrypto-mlkem is unmaintained: upstream PQClean project being archived

This crate provides Rust bindings to ML-KEM (FIPS 203) 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 the [ml-kem](https://crates.io/crates/ml-kem) crate, which provides a

pure-Rust implementation of ML-KEM (FIPS 203).
