    • Mention some more changes that happened between the imagined 0.1.0 "release" and 0.2.0.
    • Mention that we're using semantic versioning.
    • Make the titles actually link to the changes (see https://github.com/olivierlacan/keep-a-changelog/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md).
    • Perhaps controversial: reduce the font size of the Added/Changed/Deprecated/... titles; I found it a bit excessive.
  2. Mention semantic versioning in changelog cee8223ef6
  3. Add links to diffs to changelog ac233e181a
  4. Add more changelog entries 2dc133a67f
  5. Reduce font size in changelog 9ecf8149a1
  6. in CHANGELOG.md:24 in 2dc133a67f outdated 
      19 | + - The `secp256k1_nonce_function_rfc6979` nonce function, used by default by `secp256k1_ecdsa_sign`, now reduces the message hash modulo the group order to match the specification. This only affects improper use of ECDSA signing API.
  20 |  
  21 |  ### Deprecated
  22 |   - Deprecated context flags `SECP256K1_CONTEXT_VERIFY` and `SECP256K1_CONTEXT_SIGN`. Use `SECP256K1_CONTEXT_NONE` instead.
  23 |   - Renamed `secp256k1_context_no_precomp` to `secp256k1_context_static`.
  24 | + - Renamed `secp256k1_schnorrsig_sign` to `secp256k1_schnorrsig_sign32`.

    Should we have a standard "format" to indicate the module, e.g., a "schnorrsig module:" prefix or a "(schnorrsig module)" suffix?

    sipa commented at 4:11 PM on December 20, 2022:

    Done.

    Concept ACK

    I'm sure there are more API / important changes we did over the years, and it seems hard to draw the line. Maybe we should add a sentence below [0.2.0] that explains that the changes from 0.1.0 to this version are somewhat arbitrary (because 0.1.0 is not well defined)?

  8. sipa commented at 7:40 PM on December 13, 2022: contributor

    I used 2021-12-25 as "date" for 0.1.0.

  9. real-or-random commented at 7:46 PM on December 13, 2022: contributor

    I used 2021-12-25 as "date" for 0.1.0.

    Ok yes, that makes sense, and I think this was the intention when the changelog was creates (but I had forgotten about it).
