75e6772: React Native, Kysely relations, and new encryption.
Evolu becomes universal. All React platforms are supported. There is only one minor drawback: Expo 49 Sqlite binding needs to be completed. iOS doesn't support binary columns; all columns are stringified on Android. The good news is that Expo 50 should be OK.
Evolu also has a new feature: Relations. It's based on the ingenious Kysely helper, allowing you to nest related rows in queries to write super efficient queries with nested relations. Yes, we can fetch nested objects and arrays in a single query. No magic, it's still SQL.
As for encryption, Evolu switched from AES-GCM to NaCl / Libsodium-compatible Secretbox (xsalsa20poly1305). Evolu CRDT messages are also versioned.
While preparing the React Native version, I refactored the code so it's much more readable. CRDT shouldn't be a magic black box. On the contrary, it should be as simple as possible so everyone understands how it works, and nothing breaks because of complexity.
