Marc Delisle <marc(a)infomarc.info> napsal(a):
in the doc, we mention that mcrypt is required on
64-bit servers. I
believe it's no longer true since we replaced the blowfish PHP-based
library with phpseclib.
Therefore I would like, for the upcoming 4.2.5 release, to remove this
requirement in the doc, and even the mcrypt warning; on my 64-bit
laptop, I see no difference in page loading without mcrypt.
Indeed phpseclib is much faster that the horde implementation we've in
past. Also the 64-bit differentiation makes no longer sense. But I'd
still keep recommendation for mcrypt as it still performs better than
phpseclib. The question is how strong to make it...
In my tests, I found that the phpseclib implementation performs
adequately, so I would prefer removing this red warning on the home page.
We can still say in the doc "When using the cookie authentication (the
default), the mcrypt extension is strongly suggested."
