This package provides a pure implementation of bech32 and native segregated witness address encoding.

It will eventually replace the implementation in `bitwasp/bitcoin`but as yet its primary purpose is serving old codebases which have yet to upgrade.

Presently supports PHP version 5.6, 7.0-7.2 though future releases will deprecate 5.6 support. HHVM is NOT supported.
