### The RNG parameter is now mandatory for all functions that accept one
This change affects all users who called a function accepting a `f_rng`
parameter with `NULL` as the value of this argument; this is no longer
supported.
The changed functions are: the X.509 CRT and CSR writing functions; the PK and
RSA sign and decrypt functions; `mbedtls_rsa_private()`; the functions in DHM
and ECDH that compute the shared secret; the scalar multiplication functions in
ECP.
You now need to pass a properly seeded, cryptographically secure RNG to all
functions that accept a `f_rng` parameter. It is of course still possible to
pass `NULL` as the context pointer `p_rng` if your RNG function doesn't need a
context.
Alternative implementations of a module (enabled with the `MBEDTLS_module_ALT`
configuration options) may have their own internal and are free to ignore the
`f_rng` argument but must allow users to pass one anyway.
### Some functions gained an RNG parameter
This affects users of the following functions: `mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv()`,
`mbedtls_pk_check_pair()`, `mbedtls_pk_parse_key()`, and
`mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile()`.
You now need to pass a properly seeded, cryptographically secure RNG when
calling these functions. It is used for blinding, a countermeasure against
side-channel attacks.
### Deprecated functions were removed from bignum
The function `mbedtls_mpi_is_prime()` was removed. Please use
