Is it still possible to get one last minute change in?

I'd like to cut another breaking release of the k256 crate later today and bump it again, similar to #724

[greg-szabo]

As I mentioned in our discussion, I would rather have a 0.16.0 -> 0.17.0 full changelog on top of the rc release changelogs (we should keep those too), just so we see all the changes going into the new release but it's just a personal preference.

Thanks for the doctest improvements and the contribution file additions!

Awesome work.

[tony-iqlusion]

I opened a PR to bump the k256 crate to the latest v0.7 release: #752

If it's possible to get that PR into this release, that'd be great!

[greg-szabo]

Cool stuff. Made some suggestions to make it a bit more concise but they're not that important.

[greg-szabo]

Script looks good. I like that it has a timeout.
