Apache Milagro (incubating) Crypto-C V2.0.1 Release Tag:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-milagro-crypto-c/releases/tag/2.0.1

OVERVIEW:

Apache Milagro Crypto C 2.0.1-incubating is the second Apache Software 
foundation release of this library.

There are two main additions to the library and they both impact the API hence 
the jump from v1.0.0 to v2.0.1:

Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) has been added to the library. There is also 
functionality combining the existing BLS solution with SSS to enable signature 
aggregation without revealing the secret key share. This change is required by 
the Milagro DTA (https://github.com/apache/incubator-milagro-dta) and will 
allow subsequent releases of the DTA to be built from an official Apache 
release of the crypto-c library.

The Paillier additively homomorphic cryptosystem has also been added to the 
library which will be required by subsequent releases of the DTA to enable 
Multi-Party Computation of cryptocurrency wallet addresses and subsequently to 
create transaction signatures for these wallets.

The library now also supports Python 3 and formulas in the documentation are 
now rendered using MathJax.

Please see the README (https://github.com/apache/incubator-milagro-crypto-c) 
for build/test instructions, a list of contributors and guidelines on how to 
contribute yourself.  The README also includes instructions on how to build the 
documentation, and the online version of the documentation 
(http://milagro.apache.org/docs/amcl-c-api/) will be updated once the release 
is complete (as will the download page on the same site).
