This release brings PHP 7.2.1 minor update alongside with support for the new password_hash() function algorithm.

Argon2 was the winning hashing algorithm on the Password Hashing Competition held between 2013 and 2015 which compared and tested several hashing algorithms.

You can check more about it on the links provided on previous paragraphs.

As from this release, someone using this packages can now just run: password_hash ($somePasswordHere, PASSWORD_ARGON2I) and it will work like a charm.
