Description
libsodium is still building a snapshot from more than two years ago. Given that this is a security-related lib, it is concerning. Important stuff (such as zmq) depends on libsodium.

On the plus side, our libsodium is still more recent than their latest stable release. If you feel there are important changes in the library since then that we should be shipping, ideally the developers of the library would release a new stable version; you could encourage them to do that. Then we can update the port to that new version. Or, you could file a pull request to update the port to a newer snapshot, assuming it's stable enough for regular use.
