This release is primarily a maintenance release. Besides many minor internal fixes and improvements, a handful of changes affect the public API and thus break API and ABI compatibility. The most notable changes are:
- The pointers
secp256k1_context_static
andsecp256k1_context_no_precomp
to the constant context objects are nowconst
. - Removed previously deprecated function aliases
secp256k1_ec_privkey_<operation>
in favor ofsecp256k1_ec_seckey_<operation>
. - Starting with this release, building with CMake is no longer considered experimental. Traditional GNU Autotools builds (
./configure
andmake
) remain fully supported.
