# Changes
- Unified the `RLN` struct and core protocol types across public, FFI,
and WASM so everything works consistently.
- Fully refactored `protocol.rs` and `public.rs` to clean up the API
surface and make the flow easier to work with.
- Added (de)serialization for `RLN_Proof` and `RLN_ProofValues`, and
matched all C, Nim, WASM, and Node.js examples.
- Aligned FFI and WASM behavior, added missing APIs, and standardized
how witness are created and passed around.
- Reworked the error types, added clearer verification messages, and
simplified the overall error structure.
- Updated variable names, README, Rust docs, and examples across the
repo, updated outdated RLN RFC link.
- Refactored `rln-cli` to use the new public API, removed
serialize-based cli example, and dropped the `eyre` crate.
- Bumped dependencies, fixed CI, fixed `+atomic` flags for latest
nightly Rust and added `Clippy.toml` for better fmt.
- Added a `prelude.rs` file for easier use, cleaned up public access for
types and types import across zerokit modules.
- Separated keygen, proof handling, slashing logic, and witness into
protocol folder.
- Resolved overlap between stateless and merkletree feature flags.
- Updated every testcase related to stateless feature.
- Added compile-time feature check to avoid feature overlap.
- Added --no-default-features for all builds in nightly-release.yml
[(tested)](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/actions/runs/16525062203).

- Integrated missing options for generating feature-specific binaries
[(tested)](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/actions/runs/16408191766).
- Made arkzkey the default feature for improved consistency.
- Created a script to convert arkzkey from zkey.
- Updated nightly-release.yaml file.
- Updated documentation.
# Bring Back WebAssembly Support for ZeroKit
- Update minor versions of all dependencies.
- Update documentation to reflect these changes.
- ~~Vendor `wasmer` v4.4.0 in [my git
repository](https://github.com/vinhtc27/wasmer) for `ark-circom`
v0.5.0.~~
- Resolve `wasm-pack` build failures (`os error 2`) caused by a Node.js
version mismatch.
- Restore the previous CI pipeline for the `rln-wasm` feature and update
to the stable toolchain.
- ~~Use `ark-circom` with the `wasm` feature for WebAssembly
compatibility and the `rln.wasm` file for witness calculation.~~
- ~~Fix dependency issues related to `ark-circom` v0.5.0, which
currently uses `wasmer` v4.4.0 and is affected by this
[issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/91632#issuecomment-1477914703).~~
- Install WABT with `brew` and `apt-get` instead of cloning to fix
`wasm-strip not found` issue in the CI workflow.
- Install `wasm-pack` with `curl` instead of using `wasm-pack-action` to
fix parse exception error in the CI workflow.
- Use the `.wasm` file with JS bindings for witness calculation, which
is generated from [`iden3/circom`](https://github.com/iden3/circom)
during circuit compilation. This allows witness computation outside RLN
instance.
- Refactor the `rln` module by moving circuit-related files to the
`src/circuit` folder for better organization.
- Remove `ark-circom` and `wasmer` by cloning the
[CircomReduction](3c95ed98e2/src/circom/qap.rs (L12))
struct and the
[read_zkey](3c95ed98e2/src/zkey.rs (L53))
function into the `rln` module, which reduces the repository's build
size and speeds up compilation time and the CI workflow duration.
- These change also address
[#282](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/issues/282) by removing
`wasmer` and `wasmer-wasix`, which lack x32 system support.
- Benchmark `rln-wasm` with `wasm_bindgen_test`, covering RLN instance
creation, key generation, witness calculation, proving, and
verification. Also, add them to `v0.6.1` in
[benchmark-v0.6.1](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/tree/benchmark-v0.6.1)
for comparison.
- Add `arkzkey` feature for rln-wasm, including tests, benchmarks, CI
workflow updates, and related documentation.
- Benchmark rln-wasm in the browser using HTML, covering initialization,
RLN instance creation, proving, and verification; fork to the
`benchmark-v0.7.0` branch for later use
[here](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/tree/benchmark-v0.7.0).
- Fix clippy error: "this `repeat().take()` can be written more
concisely" on CI workflow for `utils` module.
([error](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/actions/runs/14258579070/job/39965568013))
- Update Makefile.toml to be able to run `make build`, `make test`, and
`make bench` from root and inside each modules.
While publishing the release on crate io it turned out that we can't use
libraries without a version as it was for arc-circom.
During the upgrade to the new version it was also discovered that it is
possible to speed up input preparation for witness calculator by 4 times
by switching from bigint to Fr:

it was also checked that it is also possible to use iden3 as a
sub-module instead of copying code, but benchmarks showed that the new
iden3 version with u256 calculations and subsequent conversion of the
result to Fr is slower than the current implementation:

----
- Updated dependencies to their latest versions, including ark-ff,
ark-bn254, ark-std, and others to 0.5.0.
- Refactored circuit and iden3calc modules to use Fr instead of BigInt
for better type consistency.
- Improved utility functions for type conversions between Fr and U256.
- Adjusted Cargo.toml files for rln and utils to reflect new dependency
versions and features.
- Enhanced documentation and comments for clarity on changes made.
This update ensures compatibility with the latest versions of the Ark
framework and improves overall code quality.
