  12 |   - New module `ellswift` implements ElligatorSwift encoding for public keys and x-only Diffie-Hellman key exchange for them.
  13 |     ElligatorSwift permits representing secp256k1 public keys as 64-byte arrays which cannot be distinguished from uniformly random. See:
  14 |     - Header file `include/secp256k1_ellswift.h` which defines the new API.
  15 |     - Document `doc/ellswift.md` which explains the mathematical background of the scheme.
  16 |     - The [paper](https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/759) on which the scheme is based.
  17 | + - We now test the library with unreleased development snapshots of GCC and Clang. This gives us an early chance to catch miscompilations and constant-time issues introduced by the compiler (such as these that led to the previous two releases).

Maybe drop the word "Certain"?

I'm not a native English speaker, but the sentence in its current variant makes me think that there are still internal symbols that are exported.

Sorry for nit-picking, but this change belongs to the previous commit, no?

This is changed in the wrong commit.
