bitcoin

This series of beta releases is meant for two things:

1. To allow testing of the upcoming bitcoin v0.33.0. It's been a long time since we released and there is a lot in this.

2. To allow testing of the 1.0.0 RC releases of:

   • bitcoin-primitives
   • bitcoin-units
   • bitcoin-consensus-encoding

cargo can be surprising when there is a - in the version number (see discussion on #5229).

We do not intend on ever releasing 0.33.0. The next release will be 0.34.0-beta (excluding possible 0.33.x-beta point releases). We will remove the -beta suffix from release versions once units, primitives, and consensus_encoding v1.0.0 are done.

For changes to our dependencies included in this release see:

• bitcoin-primitives: 0.102: changelog
• bitcoin-units 0.3: changelog
• bitcoin-consensus-encoding 0.1 changelog
• bitcoin_hashes 0.20: changelog
• base58ck 0.4: changelog
• bitcoin-io 0.5: changelog
• hex-conservative 1.0.0: changelog
• hex-conservative 0.3: changelog

Upgrade notes

• MAX_SCRIPT_ELEMENT_SIZE was removed in #2794 you may want to use MAX_REDEEM_SCRIPT_SIZE or perhaps MAX_STACK_ELEMENT_SIZE (see bitcoin/src/blockdata/constants).
• ecdsa::Error was replaced by ecdsa::DecodeError and ecdsa::ParseSignatureError (returned by ecdsa::Signature::from_slice and from_str respectively).
• script::read_scriptint was moved to be a method on PushBytes.
• You can likely just remove the hashes::Hash trait import.
• Change OutPoint::default() to OutPoint::COINBASE_PREVOUT if appropriate.
• Change TxIn::default() to TxIn::EMPTY_COINBASE if appropriate.
• Change to_raw_hash() to to_byte_array().
• bitcoin::error::UnprefixedHexError moved to bitcoin::parse::UnprefixedHexError.

• Backport: Make SendCmpct idempotent #6525
• Add consensus_encoding to block/compact-block p2p message types #6457
• Add consensus_encoding support to types in bitcoin-primitives #6333
• Add consensus_encoding support to core p2p message types #6443

• Use write! in ParseNetwork and UnknownAddressType error displays #6386

Bump the MSRV to Rust 1.60.0

Exposes the new stabilized encoding library through the optional encoding feature. Note that enabling it bumps the MSRV to 1.74.0.

• Remove mutagen #6337
• Use write! in ParseNetwork and UnknownAddressType error displays #6386
• Add consensus_encoding to types present in units 1.0 #6184

This release was yanked because the MSRV bump to 1.74.0 was too aggressive for some users. See version 0.32.101 for a smaller upgrade to 1.60.0.

Bump the MSRV to Rust 1.74.0

Note the version number jump. We jumped to v0.32.100 when doing the MSRV bump so as to leave room for a bunch of secuity releases up to this number if needed.

• Our primary users (BDK and LDK) are at 1.85 already well ahead of 1.74.
• We would like to deliver the new sans-IO consensus_encoding crate in a point release.
• The would like to later support ergonomic conversion to other 1.0 types (from bitcoin-units, and and bitcoin-primitives) without forcing the whole ecosystem to upgrade.
• Opens the door to the possibility of doing releases and then using the semver trick.

• Backport: Make SendCmpct idempotent #6527

• Bump MSRV to Rust 1.56.1 #2188
• Remove "no-std" feature #2233
• Enforce displaying Amount with trailing zeros #2604

Things you will almost certainly hit when upgrading

Crate smashing

This release we continued our effort to split up the library into smaller crates AKA crate smashing.

• Release new bitcoin-units crate docs
• Release new base58ck crate docs
• Release new bitcoin-io crate docs

Bug fixes

• Fix FeeRate::checked_mul_by_weight #2182
• Use network when calculating difficulty #2168

Changes to and involving the Network type

In release 0.31.0 we managed to annoy a lot of people by the addition of non_exhaustive to the Network type. After much discussion, and in an effort to cater to multiple camps, we did a bunch of changes this release. To sum up, "network" is ill defined and it means different things to different devs/software. Your software should probably have some custom handling of whatever "network" means to you.

In particular consider having some type that implements AsRef<Params>, we have attempted to replace Network in much of the API (#2541).

• Add NetworkKind #2232
• Reduce usage of Network in the public API #2541
• Remove Network from AddressInner #1832
