* sha256: separate message scheduling and state updates to help implement specific use-cases like #205; also implement SSSE3 acceleration (2006, Intel Core 2 Duo)
* sha256: simplify update flow, store less metadata in context
* sha256: Fix reworked update function
* Implement x86 hardware SHA acceleration
* typo
* Example+Test C API vs GMP
* Create build directory for bindings test
* --nimMainPrefix is 1.6 only
* Add libdl for dynamic loading
* absolute paths
* add static link test
* Fix man main, rename Nimmain to init_NimMain
* Deal with MacOS annoying linker w.r.t. static libraries
* use .exe extension to satisfy windows (?)
* annoying GCC which doesn't create paths
* Try skipping DLL test on windows
* windows extensions ...
* no lib prefix on windows
* Try to compile with GMP on windows and 32-bit linux
* remove leftover msys shell
* Don't use GMP Mersenne Twister, bad randomness and untested Nim wrapper
* properly cache nim
* fix path after cache
* run pacman in msys2 env
* rework msys2 ... again
* shell compat for file clearing
* shell compat try-again for file clearing
* force bash for clearing parallel builds on windows
* Use nimscript directly (why didn't it work last time?)
* Avoid IO redirection to support any shell
* Avoid IO redirection v2 to support any shell
* add debug data
* add debug again
* Introduce pararun, a parallel test runner to remove need of GNU parallel
* pararun: style
* First draft at bindings generation
* finite field bindings PoC
* support openarray, export NimMain
* PoC extension fields and elliptic curve bindings
* Pasta
* expose more bindings, remove nimZeroMem, remove tracer when unused, codegen name_mangling`gensym issue
* workaround bad C gensym codegen with {.inline.} pragma in non-dirty template nested in generic proc instantiated by template
* cyclotomic subgroup - 0 is not in the cyclotomic subgroup
* [doc] division is now constant-time
* Mention the newly added Pasta Curves / Halo 2 in README [skip ci]
* Skeleton of hash to curve for BLS12-381 G1
* Remove isodegree parameter
* Fix polynomial evaluation of hashToG1
* Optimize hash_to_curve and add bench for hash to G1
* slight optim of jacobian isomap + v7 test vectors
* try 1.6 CI
* Try CI with 1.6 and windows.
* Bend the knee
* have fun debugging CI
* have fun debugging CI
* more CI spam
* branch -> nim_version
* fight or flight
* properly detect windows
* Fix galore
* 🐍🐍 snake:
* meh give up on parallelizing windows and dealing with windows PATH issues
* ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
* Add specific fromMont conversion routine. Rename montyResidue to getMont
* missed test file
* Add x86_64 ASM for fromMont
* Add x86_64 MULX/ADCX/ADOX for fromMont
* rework Montgomery Multiplication with prefetch/latency hiding techniques
* Fix ADX autodetection, closes#174. Rollback faster mul_mont attempt, no improvement and debug pain.
* finalSub in fromMont & adx_bmi -> adx
* Some {.noInit.} to avoid Nim zeroMem (which should be optimized away but who knows)
* Uniformize name 'op+domain': mulmod - mulmont
* Fix asm codegen bug "0x0000555555565930 <+896>: sbb 0x20(%r8),%r8" with Clang in final substraction
* Prepare for skipping final substraction
* Don't forget to copy the result when we skip the final substraction
* Seems like we need to stash the idea of skipping the final substraction for now, needs bounds analysis https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/1057.pdf
* fix condition for ASM 32-bit
* optim modular addition when sparebit is available
* split modular inversion in its own file
* Stash fast GCD inversion https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/972.pdf
* Stash Pornin's bingcd -> issue with inner modular reduction
* Implement Bernstein-Yang inversion
* Avoid Nim checks on signed integers (32-bit runtime issue)
* cleanup: remove old inversion impls
* cleanup: static moduli, move div2
* small comments (skip ci)
* comment cleanup (skip ci)
* fix total iterations on 32-bit
* Add batch conversion to affine coordinates using simultaneous inversion trick
* fix conditional setZero and batchAffine conversion
* cleanup unneeded branches following affine conversion unification
* Fix batchAffine with zero inputs and add fuzz failure to test suite
