Commit message · Mitchell Bagot

Remove io write helpers from ecdsa signatures

In the ecdsa module, the SerializedSignature and Signature types have
helper methods for writing to bitcoin-io Write objects. Since we want
to remove the io dependency entirely, and the SerializedSignature can
already be used in a similar way to a slice, there's no point to
retaining them.

Remove Signature::serialize_to_writer and SerializedSignature::write_to.
Adjust existing io test case to use std traits.

Don't abuse psbt Deserialize

I'm not sure what is the intention of this code or exactly how the
derives are working in the `taproot` module because we are importing
`psbt::serialize::Deserialize` and then using it in `serde` derives?

Also the `TapTree` arbitrary stuff is a bit odd, that is what led me
here while I was attempting to delete the `psbt` module.

So, I don't know if this is a bug or an internal change? Introduced in
commit: `37c9fce2a684 Implement `Arbitrary` for psbt types`.

AI analysis · Informational 15/100

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. It also switches serde derives to use the proper serde::Deserialize trait. There is no direct evidence this fixes an exploitable security bug, but it removes a confusing and potentially incorrect reuse of PSBT serialization logic outside the PSBT module.

Implement Consensus Encoding for V2NetworkMessage

Implement new consensus encoding traits for the V2NetworkMessage
struct, to be sent as a message across the Bitcoin Network P2P.

This is part of the ongoing attempt to drop bitcoin as a dependency
from `bitcoin-p2p-messages` crate.

Constructs the Encoder and Decoder types for the encoding and
deserialization of the V2NetworkMessage, introduces the
`V2NetworkMessageDecoderError` to report errors encountered while
enc/decoding the message.

This commit adds new encoding and decoding logic for Bitcoin P2P v2 network messages in the rust-bitcoin library. It is a feature/refactoring change that introduces a new way to serialize and deserialize v2 protocol messages. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a known security vulnerability, but any new parser for network-facing data is a potential source of bugs such as crashes, denial of service, or memory issues if it mishandles malformed input.

While many of the sighash types are intertwined with taproot and
bitcoin dependencies, some can be moved and re-exported trivially.

Move and re-export EcdsaSighashType, TapSighashType,
InvalidSighashTypeError, NonStandardSighashTypeError and
SighashTypeParseError to crypto crate.

This commit is a routine code reorganization: it moves some Bitcoin signature-hash type definitions (EcdsaSighashType, TapSighashType, and related error types) from the main bitcoin crate into a new bitcoin-crypto sub-crate, then re-exports them so existing users see no change. There is no functional change to how signatures or transactions are validated.

Break split_anyonecanpay_flag functions to SplitAnyoneCanPay trait

The split_anyonecanpay_flag functions are pub(crate). Since we don't
want them to be in the public API, and they're exclusively used by
logic that will remain in bitcoin, we can split them into a pub(crate)
trait to be left behind.

Introduce SplitAnyoneCanPay trait and implement for TapSigHashType and
EcdsaSighashType by moving the corresponding split_anyonecanpay_flag
functions to them.

This commit is a simple internal code cleanup in the rust-bitcoin library. It moves two nearly identical helper functions into a shared internal trait, without changing what the code does or how it behaves. There is no security issue here.

Fix lint errors in crypto crate

The prior code move introduces a variety of lint errors due to the lax
lint requirements from bitcoin compared to the other crates.

Fix all lint errors in crypto crate's ecdsa module.

This commit is a routine code cleanup in the rust-bitcoin crypto crate. It fixes compiler lint warnings by adding documentation comments, adjusting number formatting, and making minor style changes. There is no functional change to how signatures are created, validated, or parsed, and no security issue is present.

Move ecdsa module to crypto crate

The ecdsa module has no dependencies in bitcoin outside of some in the
sighash module of crypto. Following the previous sighash move, this
entire module can now be trivially moved to the crypto crate.

Move the ecdsa module to the crypto crate.

This commit is a routine internal code reorganization. It moves the ECDSA signature module from the main 'bitcoin' crate into a smaller 'crypto' sub-crate, then re-exports it so existing users see no change. There is no security fix or vulnerability here.

Security candidateSplit methods to extension traits on public keysby Mitchell Bagot · fffcd586 · Apr 19, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 68 · AdequateInformational 18Details

Split methods to extension traits on public keys

The p2wpkh_script_code functions on FullPublicKey and LegacyPublicKey
rely on functionality only present in the bitcoin crate. Since this
will not be easy to move out, these functions should be moved to
extension traits prior to the move.

Further, the to_bytes method on LegacyPublicKey relies on
SerializedLegacyPublicKey, a type which itself relies on conversions
to and from PushBytes, a type only available in bitcoin. Since the
serialised type cannot be moved at present, the to_bytes must be left
behind in the extension trait for now.

Introduce FullPublicKeyExt and LegacyPublicKeyExt and move the
corresponding p2wpkh_script_code functions to them from the public
key types. Move to_bytes on LegacyPublicKey to LegacyPublicKeyExt.

This commit is a routine internal code reorganization. It moves a few public-key helper methods into Rust 'extension traits' so the underlying key types can be relocated to a different crate later. The actual behavior of the moved functions is unchanged, and there is no indication of a bug fix or security patch.

This commit is a routine fix to the project's automated fuzz-testing pipeline. It adds an installation step for the 'cargo-fuzz' tool in one CI job and updates a script that generates the workflow file. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin library code that users depend on, and nothing in the commit suggests a security vulnerability or fix.

Drop use of deprecated methods

In sign-tx-segwit example, the deprecated `public_key` method was
still being used, not reflecting the now recommended `to_public_key`
method.

This patch drops the use of the deprecated method for the now recommended
method by the API.

This is a routine code cleanup in an example file. It replaces an old, deprecated method name (`public_key`) with the newer recommended name (`to_public_key`). There is no security issue here; the change only affects example documentation code and does not alter how the library works.

AI analysis · Informational 18/100

This commit changes how test-only fake data is generated for an extended Bitcoin private key (Xpriv) when the optional 'arbitrary' feature is enabled. Previously, the generator always produced a 'master' key with depth 0. Now it can produce keys at any depth with proper parent fingerprint and child number fields. This is a code-quality/test-coverage improvement; it does not change production key handling or add a security vulnerability.
