Remove the unstable hex-conservative dependency

This commit is a routine dependency cleanup. The project previously had to use two different versions of the same hex-encoding helper library (one stable, one unstable preview) because a needed feature was only available in the unstable ve…

Delete psbt module

This commit removes the entire PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction) module from the rust-bitcoin library on the master branch. It is a planned code cleanup, not a security fix. The PSBT functionality has been moved to a separate cra…

Don't abuse psbt Deserialize

This commit is a small internal cleanup in the rust-bitcoin library. It stops using a PSBT-specific deserialization helper to build test-only 'Arbitrary' instances of TapTree, and instead builds the tree directly from its internal NodeInfo…

Move script hex parsing to primitives

This commit is a routine code reorganization: it moves functions that parse Bitcoin script hex strings from the main `bitcoin` crate into the lower-level `primitives` crate. The old functions in `bitcoin` are kept as deprecated aliases so …

bitcoin: Stop using FromHex

This is a routine code-maintenance change. The developers replaced one way of reading hexadecimal strings with another, because the old helper tool (the `FromHex` trait) is being removed in an upcoming version of a dependency. The function…

examples: Use NetworkKind in call to PrivateKey::from_sec

This is a tiny documentation-style change to an example file. It swaps one way of saying 'use the Bitcoin main network' for another equivalent way, with no effect on actual code behavior or security.

Downgrade the minimum version of cpufeatures

This commit only lowers the minimum required version of a small helper crate called `cpufeatures` in a lockfile used for testing the oldest supported dependency versions. It is a routine housekeeping change with no security relevance.

io: Bump version to 0.4.0-rc.0
