Overview
Request 1134590 accepted
- Update to 0.4.1:
* The point multiplication algorithm used for ECDH operations
(module ecdh) was replaced with a slightly faster one.
* Optional handwritten x86_64 assembly for field operations was
removed because modern C compilers are able to output more efficient
assembly. This change results in a significant speedup of some
library functions when handwritten x86_64 assembly is enabled
(--with-asm=x86_64 in GNU Autotools, -DSECP256K1_ASM=x86_64 in CMake),
which is the default on x86_64. Benchmarks with GCC 10.5.0 show a
10% speedup for secp256k1_ecdsa_verify and secp256k1_schnorrsig_verify.
