That post was from when v1.2.0 came out, they are getting close to 1.4.0 (on RC2 right now). Nothing too big has been added, but there have been improvements across the library for all the languages they support. You can peak at the releases pages for differences. https://github.com/google/tink/releases https://github.com/google/tink/releases

  I know they've added a Go port since that release.

Disclaimer: I'm a maintainer of Tink. We've added tons of new features since 2018, including support for two new languages Golang and Python. The team has grown from 4 20% contributors to 5 full-time and countless contributors. Please checkout the following release notes for a list of changes: https://github.com/google/tink/releases/tag/v1.3.0 https://github.com/google/tink/releases/tag/v1.3.0 https://github.com/google/tink/releases/tag/v1.4.0-rc1 https://github.com/google/tink/releases/tag/v1.4.0-rc1

  First of all, thank you for your work on Tink! Is there a chance that a Dart port might be added in the foreseeable future? I totally understand that it's a ton of work to support another language and I really appreciate all the work that has already been put in, but I just have to ask since right now there is no high level cryptographic library for Dart mature enough that I would trust it for real use. (Tink seems perfect for usage in mobile and web apps that Dart & Flutter target, and given that Dart is the only language heavily used by Google without Tink support it would make a great addition. If no native Dart implementation is planned, maybe a wrapper could be considered, using the Java/C++ bindings on mobile/native and the upcoming Javascript bindings for Dart/Flutter web support?)
