Semver-major release: 5.0.0

fanatid commented 5 years ago

First, @indutny @calvinmetcalf thanks for trust and allowance to maintain this project. And sorry for delay.

Initially, I planned fill CHANGELOG.md and submit PR with minor version, but almost immediately I remembered that master branch already have semver-major changes which was never published. So I decide:

1) Summarize all current changes, submit PR with CHANGELOG for semver-major version: 5.0.0 2) Merge/update/close current not semver-major PR's and release semver-minor version: 5.1.0 and so on.. 3) Start work on unfinished semver-major changes from #129 for version: 6.0.0

I'm not sure that I'll able finish 6.0.0, but I'll try do this.

5.0.0 can be considered as intermediate version. It's fastest way receive bn.js with patches from ~2 last years.

@indutny @calvinmetcalf I'd prefer not release version 5.0.0 without ACK. Are you ok with this plan? No need merge this PR, this mostly preview. If you agree with proposed process, I'll commit changes directly to master.

Can some other renames make it into the release to make the API more consistent?

Do you mean andln => andrn? I think yes, this should be simple change.
