Dogecoin (DOGE) has taken a significant step forward with the release of Libdogecoin version 0.1.4, a foundational C library designed to simplify the integration of Dogecoin into various applications.
The new release introduces several updates focused on cryptographic performance across a range of platforms. Since the 0.1.3 release in February 2024, the Dogecoin team said that significant work had been performed on Libdogecoin, including support for Dogebox, SPV PUP (a lightweight node service) and additional key management capabilities.
The 0.1.4 release consolidates everything in progress since then, including Intel and ARM performance improvements, REST API extensions for the SPV node, expanded secure enclave support and the addition of YubiKey hardware key storage.
In addition to these changes, version 0.1.4 introduces a new ChaCha20-based pseudorandom number generator.

Because performance is a top priority for Libdogecoin, the bench command-line tool has been added. This runs a series of performance tests to determine the speed of some cryptographic operations, including SHA256. The benchmark results can be used to compare different configurations and optimizations, assisting developers in determining the best alternatives for their specific use cases.
Libdogecoin 0.1.4 adds support for secure enclaves, allowing key-related operations like mnemonic generation and seed handling to occur in isolated settings.
