6. in CHANGELOG.md:19 in eb599c9483 outdated

   15    - Usage example `examples/musig.c`.
   16+ - New CMake variable `SECP256K1_APPEND_LDFLAGS` for appending linker flags to the build command.
   17+
   18+#### Changed
   19+ - API functions now use a significantly more robust method to clear secrets from the stack before returning. However, secret clearing remains a best-effort security measure and cannot guarantee complete removal.
   20+ - Any type `secp256k1_foo` can now be forward-declared using `typedef struct secp256k1_foo secp256k1_foo;` (or also `struct secp256k1_foo` in C++).
