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

As proposed in #442 this makes `digest` an
optional feature that is not covered by the
SemVer public API stability guarantees.

As proposed in #414, this commit changes the backend selection approach,
introspecting `target_pointer_width` to select `u32_backend` vs
`u64_backend` (or `fiat_u32_backend`/`fiat_u64_backend` if the
`fiat_backend` feature is enabled).
This helps eliminate the use of non-additive features, and also the
rather confusing errors that happen if multiple backends are selected
(i.e. thousands of lines of rustc errors).
The selection logic checks if `target_pointer_width = "64"` and uses the
64-bit backend, or falls back to the 32-bit backend otherwise. This
means the crate will always have a valid backend regardless of the
pointer width, although there may be odd edge cases for exotic platforms
which would optimally use the 64-bit backend but have a non-"64" target
pointer width for whatever reason. We can handle those cases as they
come up.
Renames fiat backend directory to fiat_u64 and does the additional plumbing required to make fiat_{u32, u64}_backend equal alternatives.
Adds a few comments.

This new version makes using rand_core on wasm seamless (thanks to the update of getrandom to v0.2)
The crate compiles well with this PR, but since some `rand_core` traits are publicly exposed in this crate's API, this is strictly speaking a breaking change.
This implementation:
- is agnostic on the hash used to pick a field element, even though SHA512 is commonly used,
- follows https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve-10.html closely
- tests the outputs of the function using libsignal's implementation.
