The problem now isn't a support issue from our perspective, but rather that PHP7.2 & 7.3 do not include libsodium, contrary to earlier indications

Does phpinfo() on the dev server say anything about sodium? On my debian9 4.9.0-9-amd64, php v7.2 box it shows libsodium version 1.0.17 as enabled.

However, I have yet to try to use it.

UPDATE: the re-architected Encrypter module has made it into RC.1, albeit only with OpenSSL support. Other encryption implementations, such as Sodium, can be easily added once they are ready in the minimum version of PHP that we support.

It may be enabled on your distro, but has to be there on the one travis-ci uses (Ubuntu?) or easily added as part of the travis-ci build. I am sure it will become mainstream at some point, and the conservative approach is to wait until that happens.

Check to see if php-libsodium is installed on the server. if it is, remove it.

Code:

sudo apt remove php-libsodium

libsodium version 1.0.9 or newer needs to be installed on the server for use with PHP v7.2

Either

Code:

sudo apt install libsodium

or

Code:

sudo apt install libsodium-dev

or maybe both?  Might depend on exact distro in use.

@dave friend Something to look into for 4.0.x, for sure
