From 134a562d5adf19e693beb0413ad7949d666774ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Gustafsson Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2024 11:05:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Remove links to further reading from pgcrypto docs The pgcrypto docs contained a set of links for useful reading and technical references. These sets of links were however not actively curated and had stale content and dead links. Rather than investing time into maintining these, this removes them altogether since there are lots of resources online which are actively maintained. Backpatch to all supported versions since these links have been in the docs for a long time.
