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

   I suppose it is misleading.

   Thanks, fixed. Also added a commit to clarify the 0.5.0 entry.
3. in CHANGELOG.md:15 in 5cf92aa593 outdated

   11 #### Added
   12  - Added usage example for an ElligatorSwift key exchange.
   13 
   14+#### Changed
   15+ - The default size of the precomputed table for signing was changed from 22 KiB to 86 KiB. The size can be changed with the configure option `--ecmult-gen-kb` (`ECMULT_GEN_KB` for CMake).
   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.
