rust-secp256k1-unsafe-fast/CHANGELOG.md

0.29.0 - 2024-04-02

• Deprecate ThirtyTwoByteHash #686

  This trait turned out to be problematic during upgrade because we support a ranged dependency for bitcoin_hashes. Consider implementing From<T> for Message for your type iff your type is a 32 byte hash (ie, output from a hash algorithm that produces a 32 byte digest like sha256). When using the impl, consider using Message::from instead of hash.into() because we will be introducing generics in a future version and the compiler will not be able to work out the target type.

• Bump MSRV to Rust v1.56.1 #693

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
• serde implements serialize fixed-width arrays as tuples in binary formats to avoid encoding the length
• Key tweaking methods renamed and refactored to use a more functional-style, they now accept a new Scalar type instead of raw slices
• Update rand dependency to 0.8
• KeyPair::from_secret_key borrows SecretKey instead of taking ownership
• SerializedSignature no longer implements Default

New features/APIs

• Several convenience/conversion methods between keys
• sign_ecdsa_with_noncedata and sign_ecdsa_recoverable_with_noncedata 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
• The alloc feature 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
• SerializedSignature implements IntoIterator (both owned and shared reference)
• We now derive std::hash::Hash for Signature

Other improvements

• global-context feature now activates global-context-less-secure.
• githooks/ directory added for contributors
• Clippy is now used in CI and the code is clippy-compliant
• Various documentation improvements
• Various CI/development improvements
• Various code quality improvements/refactors

• Disable bitcoin_hashes/std by default; add bitcoin-hashes-std feature to re-enable it

• Several documentation improvements (#366, #365, #373, #381, #369, #389, #391, #397, #399, #340)
• Deprecate the generate_schnorrsig_keypair method (unclear value)
• Add serde traits to KeyPair
• Redo the API of the new Parity type to more clearly match our desired semantics; the From<i32> impl on this type is now deprecated. Also #400.

• Put PublicKey::combine back because it is currently needed to implement Lightning BOLT 3

0.11.0 - 2018-08-22

• Update rand to 0.4 and gcc 0.3 to cc 1.0. (rand 0.5 exists but has a lot of breaking changes and no longer compiles with 1.14.0.)
• Remove PublicKey::combine from API since it cannot be used with anything else in the API
• Detect whether 64-bit compilation is possible, and do it if we can (big performance improvement)
