    Description

      I need to use the BLAKE2b hash algorithm in a library written with Qt (QXmpp) and I would like to add it in Qt.

      BLAKE2b is a very fast hashing algorithm and it is getting more and more popular. It is required to be supported in XMPP now: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0414.html#recommendations (That is why I need it)

      There is libb2 licensed under CC0 1.0 - it could be used as a 3rdparty module.

      Then there is the question: If I add BLAKE2b, should I also add BLAKE2s (less common; optimized for 8-bit to 32-bit platforms)?
