This deprecates
FieldElement::slice_into_byte_vec()
andFieldElement::byte_slice_into_vec()
, along with the error variantFieldError::Codec
, which is only used by the latter. Internal uses in Prio2 and related tests are updated to use theShare
type. As laid out in #278 (comment), Encode and Decode with strongly typed messages is preferred over these methods. Removing the enum variant will eliminate the possibility of a FieldError in a CodecError in a FieldError.If we like, we could also go back and delete the
#[deprecated]
code before release.
