+I have expanded the BIP so that it additionally applies to BIP32 master seeds of sizes 128, 256, and 512 bits.

+The most significant change versus the previous version is how the coefficients of the polynomials are constructed. Previously they were SHA-256 digests. Now they are SHA-512 digests, modulo a prime number that is selected depending on the size of the secret.
