@varun-r-mallya are you bumping these due a specific feature or bug in these libraries?

Generally it is best practice to keep the accepted versions as open as possible to avoid dependency problems with other libraries.

@pacrob

I mostly did it back then to solve the issue that was created, which I figured was just a version bumping chore. I think the motivation is explained in the issue itself, but yes, I certainly do agree with you on keeping the crypto dependencies slightly out of date.

@pacrob : Not sure, if @varun-r-mallya is working on this PR at this juncture.

@varun-r-mallya : Please confirm if you are working on it. Luca asked about the status of this and some other PRs in a recent meeting.

I think the PR is not useful at this moment, so it’s better to close it. But, once these versions mature, we could bump them up. I hope the corresponding issue will be closed as well.

@varun-r-mallya : I'll ask new contributors to join in and contribute. Will keep both the PR and issue open.

We are looking for a good number of easy to-do issues so that the new contributors can come to speed happily.
