Jun 1, 2025June 2025 performance-focused monthly summary for garden-co/jazz. Key accomplishments include delivering two mobile-focused features that enhance security and developer experience, and addressing polyfill-related reliability issues. The RN Quick Crypto integration with xsalsa20 accelerates encryption/decryption in jazz-react-native-core and cojson, with setup docs and compatibility polyfills. A separate cleanup removes the RN Buffer polyfill and switches to native base64 encoding (btoa) to simplify dependencies and potentially improve performance. These efforts improve security posture, reduce maintenance burden, and accelerate time-to-value for mobile deployments.
