This represents the first breaking change in a new release series,
bumping all crates to the 2024 edition of Rust.
As such, the version numbers of all crates have been incremented to
represent a new prerelease series:
- `curve25519-dalek`: v5.0.0-pre
- `ed25519-dalek`: v3.0.0-pre
- `x25519-dalek`: v3.0.0-pre
Note that this commit isn't intended to cut associated crate releases of
these on crates.io, but is merely bumping the version numbers to denote
there are pending breaking changes.
This commit also includes rustfmt changes which were made as part of the
2024 edition.
Also includes clippy fixes.
* curve: rename `FieldElement*::as_bytes` => `::to_bytes`
Methods named `as_*` should perform a zero-cost borrowing conversion:
https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv
Methods named `to_*` can perform an expensive owned conversion.
Since the `FieldElement*` types are technically part of the public API
(but feature gated), this also preserves the old names with a
deprecation. We can remove them in the next breaking release.
The same change was also made to the backend `Scalar*` types, however
these types are not a part of the public API.
Adds a lints section to the top of lib.rs with the following:
#![warn(
clippy::unwrap_used,
missing_docs,
rust_2018_idioms,
unused_lifetimes,
unused_qualifications
)]
`warn` is used instead of `deny` to prevent the lints from firing during
local development, however we already configure `-D warnings` in CI so
if any lint fails on checked-in code, it will cause a CI failure.
This commit also fixes or explicitly allows any current violations of
these lints. The main ones were:
- `clippy::unwrap_used`: replaces usages of `unwrap` with `expect`
- `rust_2018_idioms`: no implicit lifetimes, which were present on
usages of `core::fmt::Formatter`
