This commit only adds a new automated fuzz test for an existing Bitcoin Core feature called private transaction broadcast. It does not change any production code that runs on the network, so it cannot by itself introduce a security vulnera…
2ee4fafaby kevkevinpal+212−53 filesThis is a one-word documentation comment change in a header file. It renames 'aggregate xonly key' to 'signing (aggregate) pubkey' in a comment describing how a session ID is computed. There is no code change, no behavior change, and no se…
b3371029by kevkevinpal+1−11 fileThis is a minor cleanup of a Bitcoin Core test file. It renames a helper function parameter from 'different_key' to 'different_field' and combines two separate length checks into one three-argument equality assertion. There is no change to…
ddceb4e6by kevkevinpal+4−61 fileThis commit changes only the internal test runner for Bitcoin Core. It forces Python's Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) to be enabled when running functional tests, because some optional Python libraries used during testing can misbehave or p…
b14f2c76by kevkevinpal+5−01 fileThis commit swaps the internal macro used to detect Windows builds in a third-party subprocess helper header. Previously the code checked for Microsoft Visual C++ or MinGW compilers to decide 'this is Windows'; now it uses the standard WIN…
bff8a7a8by kevkevinpal+17−211 fileThis commit improves error handling in the benchmark programs only. It makes the benchmark tools reject invalid or non-positive values for the SECP256K1_BENCH_ITERS environment variable instead of silently using a bad value. This is a hard…
c09215f7by kevkevinpal+23−44 filesThis commit only updates the help text and a printed message in a benchmark program. It does not change any cryptographic code, library behavior, or security-sensitive logic. There is no security issue here.
bd5ced1fby kevkevinpal+10−41 fileThis is a one-line documentation update in a header file comment. It adds the CMake equivalent of an existing Autotools build option so developers know how to enable external default callbacks when building with CMake. No code behavior cha…
0406cfc4by kevkevinpal+2−11 fileThis is a tiny internal code cleanup in a Bitcoin cryptography library. It removes an unnecessary intermediate variable and replaces it with direct 'return 1' and 'return 0' statements. The function's behavior is unchanged, and there is no…
3daab83aby kevkevinpal+2−31 fileThis commit only changes the text of error messages in the benchmark program. It replaces specific outdated build instructions (referencing the old Autotools ./configure command) with a generic pointer to README.md, because the project now…
3b5b03f3by kevkevinpal+4−41 fileThis commit only updates the example text in a GitHub bug report template. It changes the placeholder operating system examples from older versions (MacOS Ventura 13.2 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) to newer versions (MacOS 26.0 and Ubuntu 26.04 LT…
f6567527by kevkevinpal+1−21 fileThis change narrows the use of a global lock in the getblocktemplate RPC, which miners use to request work. The lock is now acquired later and held for a shorter time, rather than being held across the entire request setup. This is a perfo…
