It was found that the 1.0.0-rc.x releases were troublesome because of how cargo resolves version numbers that include a suffix. For this reason we elected to go back to pre-1.0 version numbers.

v0.5.0 is a re-release of v0.4.0-rc.0. The only change is to update the other rust-bitcoin repo dependencies.

Bump the MSRV to Rust 1.60.0

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.

This release was yanked because the MSRV bump to 1.74.0 was too aggressive for some users. See version 0.1.101 for a smaller upgrade to 1.60.0.

• Bump MSRV to Rust 1.74.0 #6126

Note the version number jump. We jumped to v0.1.100 when doing the MSRV bump so as to leave room for a bunch of secuity releases up to this number if needed

This release was yanked because the MSRV bump to 1.74.0 was too aggressive for some users. See version 0.1.101 for a smaller upgrade to 1.60.0.
