For the field element types `FieldElement` and `Scalar`, use inherent
constants instead of (non-const) functions to return these constant
values.
It's likely the original functions predate support for inherent
constants, but now that they're available, they're a better fit for
these sort of constant values.
This is a convenience/marker trait for types which impl `CryptoRng` +
`RngCore` which makes the type signatures a little more readable.
It was introduced in `rand_core` v0.6.4 (now pinned as the minimum
version)
build.rs was using cfg(target) but it has to evaluate this from env TARGET
as build.rs cfg(target) in build context is the builder host and not the target.
This change fixes curve25519_dalek_bits lottery to determine the correct
automatic curve25119_dalek_bits with the help of platforms crate.
As discussed in #456 this also prepares for well known defaults for wasm and
arm serial backend via cfg(curve25519_dalek_bits = "64")
If the wasm32 or armv7 are going to be u64 serial by default these will be
followed up on later.
Crate features are intended to be additive, whereas only 1-of-N possible
backends can be selected.
Features can also be activated by transitive dependencies, which leads
to a problem of different dependences selecting conflicting backends.
Using `--cfg` instead moves all backend selection control to the
toplevel executable.
This commit switches to the following RUSTFLAGS to enable backends:
- `--cfg curve25519_dalek_backend="fiat"`: uses `fiat-crypto`
- `--cfg curve25519_dalek_backend="simd"`: uses nightly-only SIMD
* Restructure README and CHANGELOG
* Explain semver policy
* Specify feature flags and backends more explicitly
* Remove nightly from the CI bc that didn't belong there
* Add @pinkforest to thankyou list

Previously `cargo test --no-default-features` would succeed but with
warnings. This commit fixes all of those warnings and tests
`--no-default-features` in CI to ensure that in perpetuity.
As proposed in #442 this makes `digest` an
optional feature that is not covered by the
SemVer public API stability guarantees.

As suggested in #453 it is sometimes feasible to
select the backend bits via an override.
This change provides `cfg(curve25519_dalek_bits)`
to override the bits used in serial or fiat target backend.
* Deprecated `EdwardsPoint::hash_from_bytes` and renamed to
`EdwardsPoint::nonspec_map_to_curve`
* Added KAT test vectors for `RistrettoPoint::from_uniform_bytes`
