This release includes the following features and fixes:
- The implementation of the point multiplication algorithm used for signing and public key
generation in libsepc256k1 was changed, resulting in improved performance for those operations.
The related cmake optionSECP256K1_ECMULT_GEN_PRECISIONwas replaced with
SECP256K1_ECMULT_GEN_KB. 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).
