`pqcrypto-falcon` is unmaintained: upstream PQClean project being archived

Details

This crate provides Rust bindings to the Falcon (FN-DSA) signature scheme via C implementations from [PQClean](https://github.com/PQClean/PQClean). The PQClean project is being archived in or after July 2026 (see [PQClean/PQClean#604](https://github.com/PQClean/PQClean/issues/604)), after which no further security patches or bug fixes will be applied to the upstream implementations.

As a result, this crate will no longer receive updates. Users should migrate to the [`fn-dsa`](https://crates.io/crates/fn-dsa) crate, which provides a pure-Rust implementation of FN-DSA (FIPS 206).
