314195c8be3bd7db0d5817c4fb3aa85c84363ce9 Remove unnecessary cast in CKey::SignSchnorr (Pieter Wuille) a1f76cdb22e3278a48d63dd23c1fe3308daedd8c Remove --disable-openssl-tests for libsecp256k1 configure (Pieter Wuille) 86dbc4d075decb82fbba837aaa283cf0561897ad Squashed 'src/secp256k1/' changes from be8d9c262f..0559fc6e41 (Pieter Wuille) Pull request description: The motivation for this bump is getting rid of a cast in `CKey::SignSchnorr`; the `aux_rand` argument isn't modified by the `secp256k1_schnorrsig_sign` function, but was marked as non-`const` anyway. This is fixed now (bitcoin-core/secp256k1#966), and the cast is removed in this PR. There are a few other relevant changes: * (bitcoin-core/secp256k1#956): replaces a runtime-computed table with a precomputed one; this adds arouns 1 MiB to the binary size, but is a step towards significantly simplifying the API. If 1 MiB is too much, it can be reduced by 2 or 4 (or more) for a slight verification performance reduction. * (bitcoin-core/secp256k1#983): removes (test/bench only) OpenSSL support entirely, removing the need to pass `--disable-openssl-tests` (see #23314). * (bitcoin-core/secp256k1#810): mild performance increase for 64-bit non-x86 platforms. * (bitcoin-core/secp256k1#1002): Make aux_rnd32==NULL behave identical to 0x0000..00 (which impacts BIP341/BIP342 signing in Bitcoin Core, making it more strictly BIP340 compliant, though not in a manner that affects security). ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACK 314195c8be3bd7db0d5817c4fb3aa85c84363ce9 - this includes a nice simplification to the lilbsecp build system (and thus our build system), and fixes issues like #22854. Did a Guix build on x86 (above), as well as a build on arm64 (except for the arm64 host): Tree-SHA512: 0e048390fc148fbbdf5b98d9cce8c71067564e7d69d97b68347808a9bc45a04f4fc653c392c880d79d5d8b9cf282195520955581ac4f1595f6a948080cf5949d

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
