Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] about the mcrypt requirement

Hi

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...
