This commit only updates an automatically generated API listing file. It reflects a change in how an error type is declared in the source code (from a public enum to a public struct wrapper), but the commit itself does not contain any actu…
a074762eby Mitchell Bagot+46−521 fileThis commit is a routine API design change, not a security fix. It renames an internal error enum and wraps it in a private struct so the library can keep the error type flexible before its first stable release. No vulnerability is patched…
f0e8e7bcby Mitchell Bagot+66−324 filesThis is a routine performance refactor. It swaps a slow, character-by-character hex formatting loop for one that writes whole chunks at a time. There is no security-relevant change.
aad85d1eby Mitchell Bagot+8−91 fileThis commit adds a small, harmless feature to a Rust Bitcoin encoding library. It lets an optional encoder report its length when it has a value, and report zero length when it is empty. There is no security issue here.
574415eaby Mitchell Bagot+17−05 filesThis commit adds a new automated test (a fuzzing harness) for Bitcoin Core's coin database view. It does not change any production code, user-facing behavior, or network protocol. It only adds a test that exercises reading the LevelDB-back…
0e109371by Andrew Toth+22−01 fileThis commit only adds a release note describing a performance improvement for block validation. It contains no code changes, no bug fixes, and no security-related content.
dc1c17c0by Andrew Toth+8−01 fileThis is a preparatory code change for future multi-threaded coin fetching in Bitcoin Core. It adds a synchronization flag (std::atomic_flag) around a shared data field so that worker threads can safely signal when they have finished writin…
fdf28303by Andrew Toth+15−01 fileThis commit changes how Bitcoin Core fetches transaction input data (the 'coins' spent by transactions in a block). Instead of doing all lookups one-by-one on the main thread, it now submits the work to a thread pool. The change is describ…
ab2a3792by Andrew Toth+48−52 filesThis commit only updates a code comment (docstring) in a header file. It explains how a new parallel coin-fetching mechanism works. No actual code logic was changed, so it cannot introduce or fix a security vulnerability on its own.
d69a3b20by Andrew Toth+54−51 fileThis commit only adds and updates unit tests for an existing Bitcoin Core component called CoinsViewOverlay. It does not change any production code that runs on the live Bitcoin network, so it cannot directly introduce a security vulnerabi…
760fb22dby Andrew Toth+135−31 fileThis commit only changes Bitcoin Core's internal fuzz tests—specialized randomized test programs used during development to catch bugs. It adds test coverage for a new caching helper called CoinsViewOverlay::StartFetching. There is no chan…
ce610a6fby Andrew Toth+107−122 filesThis commit is a performance optimization for Bitcoin Core's block validation. It pre-fetches the previous transaction outputs (the 'coins' being spent) for all inputs in a block before the main validation work begins, and it does so in pa…
