Cryptography: You can now derive a new signing key pair from a 32-byte seed, allowing for deterministic key generation. This feature enhances security by enabling users to create keys from a known seed instead of relying on random generation.
Improvements
Performance: Experience a significant speed boost with the hash function, now running 3 to 5 times faster. This improvement means quicker cryptographic operations, enhancing overall application performance.
Others
Benchmarking: We have added new benchmarks for hash performance, including tests for 16 KiB data sizes. This helps users understand the performance characteristics of the cryptographic functions better.
