# 0.23.1 - 2022-06-24

[Enable "rand/std_rng" feature](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/460) when the crate's "rnd-std" feature is enabled.

# 0.23.0 - 2022-06-21

The major change in this version is the increase of the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) from 1.29 to 1.41.1, this is a big change because it introduces Rust Edition 2018 to the codebase along with all the benefits that brings.

## Breaking changes

* [MSRV bumped to 1.41.1 and edition changed to 2018](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/331)
* serde implements serialize [fixed-width arrays](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/406) as tuples in binary formats to avoid encoding the length
* Key tweaking methods renamed and refactored to use a more [functional-style](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/406), they now accept a [new Scalar](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/445) type instead of raw slices
* Update [`rand` dependency to 0.8](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/331)
* `KeyPair::from_secret_key` [borrows SecretKey](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/430) instead of taking ownership
* `SerializedSignature` no longer implements `Default`

## New features/APIs

* Several convenience/conversion methods between [keys](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/430)
* [`sign_ecdsa_with_noncedata` and `sign_ecdsa_recoverable_with_noncedata`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/425) can be used to add additional entropy to ECDSA signatures
* Errors now display their sources if std is unavailable, with std they rely on the consumer to use the source() method
* [Implemented `TryFrom` for `Parity`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/409)
* The [alloc feature](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/331) can be used on targets with allocators without a standard library
* `SharedSecret` can be created from a slice, parsed from a hex string, or [(de)serialized using serde](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/418)
* `SerializedSignature` implements `IntoIterator` (both owned and shared reference)
* We now [derive `std::hash::Hash` for `Signature`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/441)

## Other improvements

* `global-context` feature now activates `global-context-less-secure`.
* `githooks/` directory added for contributors
* [Clippy is now used in CI](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/448) and the code is clippy-compliant
* Various documentation improvements
* Various CI/development improvements
* Various code quality improvements/refactors


# 0.22.1 - 2022-03-10

* [Simplify `SharedSecret` API](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/402) to use a 32-byte buffer; users of custom hashes should now use bare arrays rather than this type.
* Change [serde serialization of `Parity`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/401) from `i32` to `u8`; clean up [error handling](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/403)

* Redo the [API of the new `Parity` type](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/382) to more clearly match our desired semantics; **the `From<i32>` impl on this type is now deprecated**. Also [#400](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/400).

* Reduce the `lowmemory` [precomp table size](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/323)
* [Add `KeyPair::serialize_sec`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/308)

# 0.20.0 - 2020-12-21

* [remove `ffi::PublicKey::blank`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/232) and replace with unsafe [`ffi::PublicKey::new` and `ffi::PublicKey::from_array_unchecked`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/253/); similar for all other FFI types
* [support wasm32-wasi target](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/242)

# 0.18.0 - 2020-08-26

* Add feature-gated `bitcoin_hashes` dependency and [`ThirtyTwoByteHash` trait](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/206/)
* Add feature-gated [global static context](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/224)

* Bump rust-secp-sys to 0.2.0

- Fix linking in the `fuzztarget` feature.

# 0.17.1

- Correctly prefix the secp256k1-sys links field in Cargo.toml.

# 0.17.0

- Move FFI into secp256k1-sys crate.
- Add `external-symbols` feature for not building upstream.
- Add functions to create a context from a raw pointer.

# 0.15.4 - 2019-09-06

- Add `rand-std` feature.

  compatible with rustc 1.22.0.
- Changed all `as_*ptr()` to a new safer `CPtr` trait

# 0.15.2 - 2019-08-08

- Add feature `lowmemory` that reduces the EC mult window size to require
  significantly less memory for the validation context (~680B instead of
  ~520kB), at the cost of slower validation. It does not affect the speed of
  signing, nor the size of the signing context.

# 0.15.0 - 2019-07-25

* Implement hex human-readable serde for PublicKey
* Implement fmt::LowerHex for SecretKey and PublicKey
* Relax `cc` dependency requirements

# 0.14.0 - 2019-07-08

* [Feature-gate endormorphism optimization](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/120)
  because of a lack of clarity with respect to patents
* Got full no-std support including eliminating all use of libc in C bindings.
  [PR 1](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/115)
  [PR 2](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/125).

* [Remove `PublicKey::new()` and `PublicKey::is_valid()`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/37) since `new` was unsafe and it should now be impossible to create invalid `PublicKey` objects through the API
* [Reintroduce serde support](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/38) behind a feature gate using serde 1.0
* Clean up build process and various typos
