1.6.0 Major bug fix, pleae require this version from now on

A bug snuck in and could lead to some unwanted results. If you build on this library, please require at a minimum ^1.6 in your project to avoid ever getting the wrong version. Thank you to @afk11 for the quick fix, and everyone who reported it for their information.

1.5.2 Bugfix

The new algo caused issues on certain inputs, and this fixes it.

1.5.1 Gitattributes cleanup

With lots of cleanups the gitattributes didn't get updated and so some new extra files could have been checked out where not needed. This cleans that up. Thank you @reedy for this contribution!

1.5.0 Faster algorythm and extended Hex Alphabet

Thanks to @samuelwilliams for the contribution. Now the libnrary is even faster and supports the extended hex alphabet (also part of the RFC, but less frequently used).

Upgrades, PHP 7.2 minimum, PHP 8 compatible

Some long overdue upgrades were done. Should function exactly the same as the previous version, just now it's minimum requirements is PHP 7.2. Testing is also done on 7.2, and from 7.3 on with a newer phpunit version. Also the library is being tested with PHP 8 now, so you can use it with that as well.

Added gitattributes

Will skip files being exported when installed via composer that are not needed like tests etc.

Thank you to @reedy for the pull request.

Small speed improvement

Thanks to @nickshanks for a speed up of the code execution.

Speedup of operation

This version is about 15% faster than the previous one.

Thanks to @fbonzon for the contribution!

Make alphabet simpler, ignore composer.lock

Still passes all tests, thanks to @lucasmichot for the pull requests!
