ACK 3977d27baebb7267448e1c4aef1fda4471523831

in CHANGELOG.md:15 in 3977d27bae outdated

  11 |  #### Changed
  12 |   - The point multiplication algorithm used for ECDH operations (module `ecdh`) was replaced with a slightly faster one.
  13 |   - 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`.
  14 |  
  15 | +#### ABI Compatibility
  16 | +This release is compatible with the ABI of 0.4.0 and 0.3.x.

nit: Use same wording as below?

The ABI is compatible with versions 0.4.0 and 0.3.x.

Compatibility with 0.3.x is backward-only, right?

added the word "backward"
