I ran the sanity checks according to the release process and they passed.

Does that mean the entry “(ECMULT_GEN_KB for CMake)” for 0.5.0 is wrong (or at least misleading)?

hebasto commented at 4:54 pm on August 1, 2024:

I suppose it is misleading.

Thanks, fixed. Also added a commit to clarify the 0.5.0 entry.

16+ - "auto" is no longer an accepted value for the `--with-ecmult-window` and `--with-ecmult-gen-kb` configure options (this also applies to  `ECMULT_WINDOW_SIZE` and `ECMULT_GEN_KB` in CMake). To achieve the same configuration as previously provided by the "auto" value, omit setting the configure option explicitly.
