* migrate from the old, unmaintained "asciidoc-py" tool to the new "asciidoctor" generator
* migrate from asciidoc-py syntax to the modern Asciidoc syntax (especially page titles and section titles)
* remove the need of "xmlto" utility to create the manpage output; use asciidoctor for that
* add HTML output support to the doc/Makefile by using asciidoctor
* change API documentation files extension from .txt to .adoc to make it more explicit that they are Asciidoc-encoded (as a bonus several IDE plugins will autodetect the .adoc format as Asciidoc)
* remove asciidoc.conf: asciidoctor does not support that; this also required replacing the macro linkzmq into all documentation pages
* add a new Github action CI do deploy to Github Pages the static HTMLs produced by Asciidoctors
* removed references to the "xmlto" and "a2x" tools from the build and packaging systems: Asciidoctor can convert the documentation directly to e.g. pdf (via extended converters) and anyway there was no code/target for using "xmlto" and "a2x" tools anyway
Solution: remove implementation. Frank Hartmann <soundart@gmx.net>,
the author, rejected our request to relicense under MPL2, so we
have to remove his copyrighted work.
Tweetnacl is not security-supported and could not be used in
production environments anyway, the supported backend is libsodium.
Solution: switch to Github Actions
Travis recently started enforcing credits for OSS projects without
any funding. While it is possible to get free credits, it is a manual
step that involves contacting customer support via email and asking to
add them, every week. While this does not require money, it requires
something far scarcer: volunteers time.
Drop Travis and migrate to Github Actions.
Solution: enable Stable Bot to automatically mark an issue as stale
