## Description - There are no breaking changes, but now users can use their own implementation of `sample()`. - I did not add unit tests because it's difficult to test...

Being able to convert field elements to bits and vice versa would be useful for some cryptographic protocols. There are already functions to generate random field elements and serialize with...

Cap hashing was implemented for merkle trees. The algebraic and non-algebraic cap hashes were both implemented in `hash_enum.tcc`, as well as the dummy algebraic hash. See issue https://github.com/scipr-lab/libiop/issues/41. A bug...

The test_bcs_transformation test currently uses dummy BCS parameters. We should instead just use the actual BCS parameters for hashchain, merkle tree hash, proof of work, etc. The dummy algebraic hashes...

The `bcs_transformation_parameters` object has an attribute named `hash_enum`. However, this is incorrect, since the BCS transformation is allowed to have different hash types for its hashchain and merkle tree. This...

## Description - I'll add tests next PR since the new code is currently unused - I'm thinking to add a changelog entry later as well since there will be...
