0.4.0 #

🌊 Restored and redesigned stream processing support by refactoring cipher architecture around StreamCipher, AEADStreamCipher, and CipherPair.
🔐 Refactored AES modes, ChaCha20, Salsa20, XOR, and AEAD implementations to align behavior across one-shot and stream APIs.
🛠️ Updated nonce and typed-data internals plus AES cache generation logic for better correctness and maintainability.
✅ Expanded and updated test coverage across AES modes, stream ciphers, AEAD flows, integration parity, and core cipher behaviors.

Removed Stream support (It will be available again in later versions).
🛡️ Strengthened input validation for AES-CBC by requiring IV length to be exactly 16 bytes.
🔒 Improved AEAD verification behavior in XChaCha20Poly1305 and XSalsa20Poly1305 by throwing StateError on authentication failure.
⚙️ Applied security hardening and reliability fixes across AES-GCM, ChaCha20/Salsa20 internals, cipher core helpers, and typed-data utilities.
✅ Expanded test coverage with additional security and validation tests, including AES-GCM and typed-data cases.
🧪 Added broader ChaCha20 and Salsa20 test vectors and scenarios.

⚙️ Refactored AES (all modes), ChaCha20, Salsa20, and AEAD internals for improved clarity and maintainability.
🚀 Improved performance across core cipher paths and benchmark implementations.
✅ Expanded and reorganized test coverage across AES, stream ciphers, nonce/padding behavior, and cross-library integration tests.
📊 Revamped benchmarking infrastructure and documentation, including native/compiled benchmark support and updated benchmark reports.
🛠️ Updated CI/release workflows, refreshed docs/examples, and bumped hashlib dependency.

AES in ECB, CBC, CTR, CFB, OFB, GCM, XTS, IGE, and PCBC modes.
