It follows the work from the CESROX kickoff and the KERIox code through the renaming to cesride and parside, then signifide and the move toward a KERIde monorepo, with recurring themes of code tables, the foreign function interface (FFI) to other languages, cryptographic curve support, naming, licensing and release versioning. | 1 | 0 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
