 - Serialization format is a part of `SessionParameters` now; `Round` and `Protocol` methods receive dynamic serializers/deserializers. ([#33])
 - Renamed `(Verified)MessageBundle` to `(Verified)Message`. Both are now generic over `Verifier`. ([#56])
 - `Session::preprocess_message()` now returns a `PreprocessOutcome` instead of just an `Option`. ([#57])
+- `Session::terminate_due_to_errors()` replaces `terminate()`; `terminate()` now signals user interrupt. ([#58])
