Libsodium in PHP 7.1

  • I'm on SugarCRM Enterprise, Version 8.0.1 and PHP 7.1.
  • The current extension for encryption/Decryption is mcrypt, Libsodium will be the alternative of mcrypt in PHP 7.2 as mcrypt will be deprecated.
  • Does Sugar provide a way to install and swap the extensions and see if it works fine within PHP 7.1? just to verify how libsodium works before upgrading from PHP 7.1 to PHP 7.2 (Referred http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Versions/8.0/Ent/Installation_and_Upgrade_Guide/#PHP_Requirements but it just has high-level info)
  •  When does Sugar provide support to PHP 7.2?

Any help would be highly appreciated, Cheers!
