- Introduced a new `sync` package for managing NIP-11 relay information and relay group configurations.
- Implemented a cache for NIP-11 documents, allowing retrieval of relay public keys and authoritative configurations.
- Enhanced the sync manager to update peer lists based on authoritative configurations from relay group events.
- Updated event handling to incorporate policy checks during event imports, ensuring compliance with relay rules.
- Refactored various components to utilize the new `sha256-simd` package for improved performance.
- Added comprehensive tests to validate the new synchronization and group management functionalities.
- Bumped version to v0.24.1 to reflect these changes.
- Introduced comprehensive benchmark tests for NIP-44 and NIP-4 encryption/decryption, including various message sizes and round-trip operations.
- Implemented optimizations to reduce memory allocations and CPU processing time in encryption functions, focusing on pre-allocating buffers and minimizing reallocations.
- Enhanced error handling in encryption and decryption processes to ensure robustness.
- Documented performance improvements in the new PERFORMANCE_REPORT.md file, highlighting significant reductions in execution time and memory usage.
