The encoding types in this crate are designed around the PHC String Format which uses "B64", a.k.a. unpadded non-URL-safe Base64. The `Encoding` type was designed to make it possible to use alternative encodings from Modular Crypt Format (MCF), but that doesn't actually make sense because PHC Strings mandate "B64". The `Encoding` type has since been extracted into the `mcf` crate as `mcf::Base64`: RustCrypto/formats#1918

## Added - Generic `H` param to traits to support multiple string formats e.g. PHC, MCF (#2110) - Implement `From<phc::Error>` for `Error` (#2124) - `rand_core` feature (#2126) - Salt generating helper functions `(try_)generate_salt` (#2128) - `Error::RngFailure` variant (#2337) ## Changed - Edition changed to 2024 and MSRV bumped to 1.85 (#1759) - Extract `CustomizedPasswordHasher` trait (#2105) - Bump `getrandom` to v0.4 (#2258) ## Removed - `Encoding` enum (#2102) - PHC types moved to the `phc` crate, which is re-exported as `password_hash::phc` when the `phc` crate feature is enabled (#2103, #2116): - `Ident` - `Output` - `ParamsString` - `PasswordHash` - `PasswordHashString` - `Salt` - `SaltString` - `Value` - `McfHasher` trait (#2334)
