   I plan to create a signed tarball using this code and attach it to the github release. We could add the code the release process afterward if we’re happy with the result:

   0git archive --output "libsecp256k1-0.7.0.tar.gz" --prefix "libsecp256k1-0.7.0/" v0.7.0
   1gpg --local-user "09E03F871092E40E106E902B33BC86AB80FF5516" --detach-sign "libsecp256k1-0.7.0.tar.gz"
   2gpg --verify "libsecp256k1-0.7.0.tar.gz.sig"
   

   edit: Some alternatives that were rejected after discussing with @jonasnick:

   • We considered *.zip for compatibility with Windows, but it turns out that Windows 10/11 has a built-in tar command that can handle .tar.gz, so let’s prefer the latter.
   • We considered creating a SHA256SUMS.txt as common for some projects, but it’s just pointless overhead when signing a single file.

    Looks like there’s another instance of this to change in ci/ci.sh?

    To make it easier to verify versioning changes, I suggest including the output of the ./tools/check-abi.sh tool in the PR description in the future.

    For example, for this one:
