* fix JacExt infinity conversion
* add batchAffine for MSM, though slower than JacExtended at the moment
* add a batch affine scheduler for MSM
* Add Multi-Scalar-Multiplication endomorphism acceleration
* some tuning
* signed integer fixes + 32-bit + tuning
* Some more tuning
* common msm bench + don't use affine for c < 9
* nit
* create a codecs.nim file for hex/base64 and other encoding conversions
* improve maintenance/readability of hex conversion
* add skeleton of constant-time base64 decoding
* use raw casts
* use raw casts only for same size types
* [Threadpool] Fix syncAll releasing while a thread was attempting to steal + force no exception in tasks
* fix unguarded access on MacOS barriers
* parallel batchadd
* moved import
* Implement a threadpool
* int and SomeUnsignedInt ...
* Type conversion for windows SynchronizationBarrier
* Use the latest MacOS 11, Big Sur API (jan 2021) for MacOS futexes, Github action offers MacOS 12 and can test them
* bench need posix timer not available on windows and darwin futex
* Windows: nimble exec empty line is an error, Mac: use defined(osx) instead of defined(macos)
* file rename
* okay, that's the last one hopefully
* deactivate stealHalf for now
* 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
