Drop support for Go versions older than 1.10 #361

Closed mwoss closed 7 months ago

mwoss commented 7 months ago

We decided to drop support for the Go versions older than 1.10 to use the new big.Int functionalities introduced in this Go version, thus improving the performance of critical paths/methods like NumDigits. Go 1.10 is already 6 years old, so we believe this change won't affect most of the library users (+ Go compiler supports backward compatibility)
