Description

> merged into the `aes` crate

| Details | |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Status | unmaintained |
| Package | `aesni` |
| Version | `0.10.0` |
| URL | [https://github.com/RustCrypto/block-ciphers/pull/200](https://github.com/RustCrypto/block-ciphers/pull/200) |
| Date | 2021-04-29 |

The `aesni` crate has been merged into the `aes` crate. The new repository
location is at:

<https://github.com/RustCrypto/block-ciphers/tree/master/aes>

AES-NI is now autodetected at runtime on `i686`/`x86-64` platforms.
If AES-NI is not present, the `aes` crate will fallback to a constant-time
portable software implementation.

To prevent this fallback (and have absence of AES-NI result in an illegal
instruction crash instead), continue to pass the same RUSTFLAGS which were
previously required for the `aesni` crate to compile:

```
RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-feature=+aes,+ssse3
```
