How up to date does this library go in terms of upstream Botan version? Does it support Botan 3 (latest version is 3.1.1) or is it still on Botan 2?

This library is based on Botan 2, it doesn't apply the constant time operations and it's missing some algorithms but it's still very useful due to its convenient object-oriented crypto collection and ASN.1 decoder/encoder support. It is well optimized and includes much of the memory protection features of D.

@etcimon I know, Botan is definitely a good library and I imagine that D could only add to it. Are there any plans to synchronize with Botan 3?

I ask particularly since Botan 3 has TLS 1.3 support, among a variety of other changes.

Yes, TLS 1.3 is the more interesting change. I've looked into it and it would require creating an interface out of the current objects and 2 implementations, for 1.2 and 1.3
