shinyauthr 0.0.99

April 2019 - switched to the sodium package for password hashing and decryption

If you plan to use hashed passwords with shinyauthr you now must use the sodium package to do hash your passwords and the sodium_hashed = TRUE argument of the shinyauthr::login module call for decrpytion to work appropriately.

This means that previously used hashed and algo arguments that interfaced with the digest package are now deprecated. If you had previously hashed your passwords with the digest package to use with shinyauthr, please re-hash them with sodium and use the sodium_hashed argument instead.

Sorry for this breaking change, but sodium hashing provides added protection against brute-force attacks on stored passwords. More information on this here.
