v0.24.0

Summary

This release contains important dependency updates for rust-bitcoin to 0.29 and rust-miniscript to 8.0, plus related crates that also depend on the latest version of rust-bitcoin. The release also includes a breaking change to the BDK signer which now produces low-R signatures by default, saving one byte. A bug was found in the get_checksum and get_checksum_bytes functions, which are now deprecated in favor of fixed versions called calc_checksum and calc_checksum_bytes. And finally a new hardware-signer features was added that re-exports the hwi crate, along with a new hardware_signers.rs example file.

Changed

• Improve key generation traits
• Rename WalletExport to FullyNodedExport, deprecate the former.

• Changed Wallet::sync to take a Blockchain.
• Stop making a request for the block height when calling Wallet:new.

• Pin tokio dependency version to ~1.14 to prevent errors due to their new MSRV 1.49.0

v0.16.0

v0.14.0

• BIP39 implementation dependency, in keys::bip39 changed from tiny-bip39 to rust-bip39.
• Add new method on the TxBuilder to embed data in the transaction via OP_RETURN. To allow that a fix to check the dust only on spendable output has been introduced.
