+### NoteInterface changes
+
+`compute_note_hash_and_nullifier*` functions were renamed as `compute_nullifier*` and the `compute_nullifier` function now takes `note_hash_for_nullify` as an argument (this allowed us to reduce gate counts and the hash was typically computed before). Also `compute_note_hash_for_consumption` function was renamed as `compute_note_hash_for_nullify`.
