node-cipher archiving

[cruzdanilo]

node-cipher has been archived on github.

it is not encrypting properly using the latest node version: nathanbuchar/node-cipher#27
there is an annoying warning since node 12: nathanbuchar/node-cipher#26

what is on the roadmap for this loader?

Oh, I didn't expect that. That's pretty sad, given node-cipher still has lots of users.

This loader is not that tightly coupled to node-cipher in code. I'll explore using another encryption cli in a backwards-compatible manner.

[Ansimorph]

This release removed the dependency on node-cipher, since it is not actively maintained any longer.
decryption-loader now includes a CLI for encryption. This CLI is not backwards compatible to node-cipher, because it used createCipheriv instead of the deprecated createCipher.
This means files have to be re-encrypted for this version.
