- Update to 0.5.0:
Added:
* New function secp256k1_ec_pubkey_sort that sorts public keys
using lexicographic (of compressed serialization) order.
Changed:
* The implementation of the point multiplication algorithm used
for signing and public key generation was changed, resulting
in improved performance for those operations. The related
configure option --ecmult-gen-precision was replaced with
--ecmult-gen-kb (ECMULT_GEN_KB for CMake).
This changes the supported precomputed table sizes for these
operations. The new supported sizes are 2 KiB, 22 KiB, or 86
KiB (while the old supported sizes were 32 KiB, 64 KiB, or 512 KiB).
ABI Compatibility:
* The ABI is backward compatible with versions 0.4.x and 0.3.x.
