Ask HN: What are the U.S. requirements for releasing OSS that uses encryption?

I want to release a terminal based text editor I wrote, on GitHub, that uses another open source library that implements AES-CBC 256 bit encryption. The library it specifically uses is https://github.com/kkAyataka/plusaes I'm wondering, what are any United States legal requirements for releasing my text editor as open source software? My text editor only uses existing available open source software and does not implement any new cryptographic algorithm, but based on my reading of United States export restrictions I'm not entirely certain if there's reporting requirements I must follow. To clarify, I don't need to release this, I just wanted to contribute something back to the community that's been useful to me.
