py-libp2p/newsfragments

This directory collects "newsfragments": short files that each contain a snippet of ReST-formatted text that will be added to the next release notes. This should be a description of aspects of the change (if any) that are relevant to users. (This contrasts with the commit message and PR description, which are a description of the change as relevant to people working on the code itself.)

Each file should be named like <ISSUE>.<TYPE>.rst, where <ISSUE> is an issue number, and <TYPE> is one of:

• breaking
• bugfix
• deprecation
• docs
• feature
• internal
• misc
• performance
• removal

So for example: 1024.feature.rst

Important: Ensure the file ends with a newline character (\n) to pass GitHub tox linting checks.

Added support for Ed25519 key generation in libp2p peer identity creation.

If the PR fixes an issue, use that number here. If there is no issue, then open up the PR first and use the PR number for the newsfragment.

Note that the towncrier tool will automatically reflow your text, so don't try to do any fancy formatting. Run towncrier build --draft to get a preview of what the release notes entry will look like in the final release notes.
