### Added - Sealed `BlockSizes` trait implemented for types from `U1` to `U255` ([#1172]) - `SerializableState` trait under `hazmat` module ([#1369]) - `OutputSize` type alias ([#1533]) - `IvState` trait ([#1636]) - `core::error::Error` impls for error types ([#1660]) - `Generate` trait as a common RNG API ([#2096], [#2145]) - `TryKeyInit` trait ([#2097]) - Re-export `getrandom` ([#2152]) - `KeyExport` trait ([#2213]) ### Changed - Replaced `generic-array` with `hybrid-array` ([#1319], [#1976]) - `BlockUser::BlockSize` is now bounded by the `BlockSizes` trait - Edition changed to 2024 and MSRV bumped to 1.85 ([#1759]) - `generate_*` methods on `KeyInit` and `KeyIvInit` traits have been deprecated in favor of the new `Generate` trait ([#2162]) - Bump `rand_core` to v0.10 ([#2250]) - Bump `getrandom` to v0.4 ([#2258]) ### Removed - `std` feature ([#1680]) [#1172]: #1172 [#1319]: #1319 [#1369]: #1369 [#1533]: #1533 [#1636]: #1636 [#1660]: #1660 [#1680]: #1680 [#1759]: #1759 [#1976]: #1976 [#2096]: #2096 [#2097]: #2097 [#2145]: #2145 [#2152]: #2152 [#2162]: #2162 [#2213]: #2213 [#2250]: #2250 [#2258]: #2258

### Added - Traits for tweakable block ciphers (#1721) - Methods for writing keystream (#1907) ### Changed - Replaced `generic-array` with `hybrid-array` (#1358) - Rename `BlockCipher*`/`BlockMode*` (#1482) - `BlockEncrypt` => `BlockCipherEncrypt` - `BlockDecrypt` => `BlockCipherDecrypt` - `BlockEncryptMut` => `BlockModeEncrypt` - `BlockDecryptMut` => `BlockModeDecrypt` - Split `BlockBackend` traits into 4 specific traits: (#1636) - `BlockCipherEncBackend` - `BlockCipherDecBackend` - `BlockModeEncBackend` - `BlockModeDecBackend` - Edition changed to 2024 and MSRV bumped to 1.85 (#1759) - Use `block_buffer::ReadBuffer` in `StreamCipherCoreWrapper` (#1959) - Re-export of `crypto-common` moved to `cipher::common` (#2237, #2260) - `crypto-common` dependency bumped to v0.2 (#2276) - `blobby` requirement bumped to v0.4 (#2147) - `inout` dependency bumped to v0.2.2 (#2149) ### Fixed - Bugs in `StreamCipherCoreWrapper` trait implementations (#1421) - Seeking implementation in the stream cipher wrapper (#2052) ### Removed - `std` feature (#1691) - `BlockCipherEncrypt::encrypt_padded*` and `BlockCipherDecrypt::decrypt_padded*` methods.

This PR splits
BlockBackendtraits into 4 specific traits:BlockCipherEncBackend,BlockCipherDecBackend,BlockModeEncBackend, andBlockModeDecBackend. Same forBlockClosure. This allows for cipher backends to remove awkard&mut &backendjuggling (see RustCrypto/block-ciphers#442), makes code a bit easier to read (i.e.encrypt_blocksinstead ofproc_blocks), and allows for one backend type to be used for both encryption and decryption.The
impl_simple_block_encdecmacro is removed since we now can implement the backend traits directly on cipher types, which should make implementation crates slightly easier to understand.Additionally, it moves traits to the
blockandciphermodules to reduce clutter in the crate root. Later we can add docs to each module to describe the traits in detail.
