We'd like to announce the release of version 0.8.0 of libsecp256k1: <br />https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/releases/tag/v0.8.0 <br /> <br />The most notable changes are: <br />* Addition of a new Silent Payments (BIP 352) module with support for <br /> sending and scanning on full nodes. <br />* Addition of a function for overriding the internal SHA256 compression <br /> function, useful for plugging in hardware-optimized SHA256 implementations. <br />* Performance improvements in the 64-bit field element implementation, <br /> leading to significant speedups for many library functions on GCC and MSVC <br /> builds (e.g., up to ~11% for ECDSA and Schnorr signature verification). <br />* Removal of the previously deprecated symbols <br /> secp256k1_schnorrsig_sign (in favor of secp256k1_schnorrsig_sign32) and <br /> secp256k1_context_no_precomp (in favor of secp256k1_context_static). <br /> <br />For the full changelog, see: <br />https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md <br /> <br /> <br />The libsecp256k1 maintainers
