The net/ssl and crypto packages are being removed from the standard library and moved to a new home at https://github.com/ponylang/net-ssl/ and https://github.com/ponylang/crypto respectively. Each will live on as an independent library. They are being removed because they have a transitive dependency on an external library openssl and that dependency makes creating release artifacts more difficult. At the moment we have to deal with packaging up openssl for each Linux distro etc and they all have their own methods to do so. This lead us to do a lot of work on supporting distro specific packaging. That has turned out to be too much work. We are moving to having a single glibc Linux friendly .tar.gz that can be done to install Pony. To faciliate this move, we decided that we want to remove items from the standard library that depend on external libraries like openssl. Full conversation about the decision is available in the audio of the Pony development sync July 9, 2019 audio that you can download from: https://sync-recordings.ponylang.io/r/2019_07_09.m4a
