This commit fixes a minor display bug in how certain Bitcoin hash values are printed as debug text when the optional 'hex' feature is turned off. Reversed hash types (like transaction IDs in Bitcoin, which are conventionally shown backwards) were being printed in the wrong order. This only affects debug/log output, not the actual hash data or cryptographic operations, so it is not a direct security vulnerability.

hashes: Convert debug_hex to take u8 iterator

The debug_hex function is used to write u8 slices as hexadecimal to

convert the function to instead take impl IntoIterator<&u8>, allowing

This commit adds the ability to decode (read/parse) a newer Bitcoin peer-address format called AddrV2. Before this change, the code could encode (write) these addresses but apparently could not decode them. The new decoder checks that address lengths match what each network type expects, rejects some invalid address encodings (like wrapping an old Tor or IPv4 address inside IPv6), and reports errors cleanly. It is a normal feature-completion patch, but because it handles untrusted network input, any mistakes here could create parsing bugs.

This commit adds a new way to serialize Bitcoin peer-to-peer address objects (AddrV2) using a state-machine style encoder. It is a feature/refactoring change that introduces a new code path for encoding addresses, but does not by itself fix a known security bug or introduce an obvious vulnerability. The new encoder mirrors the existing consensus_encode logic, so the main risk is a subtle implementation bug in the new encoder that could cause incorrect serialization or a panic.

hashes: Update API files

Following the introduction of the MuHash type, the public api of
hashes has changed, meaning the api files must be updated. Since
the changes to the API files are extensive relative to the actual
code change, they are in a separate patch.

Update the hashes API files.

hashes: Introduce MuHash wrapper type

In corepc-types, we are getting a hash digest from Core from the
muhash3072 algorith. For semantic reasons, we should provide a concrete
type from rust-bitcoin for this.

Introduce a newtype MuHash in hashes to represent hash outputs of the
muhash3072 algorithm.

This commit adds a new public type called MuHash to the rust-bitcoin hashes library. It is purely a wrapper around a 384-byte byte array so that downstream projects can label muhash3072 digests with a meaningful Rust type. The commit does not implement the hash algorithm itself, change any existing behavior, or fix any bug. There is no security-relevant change.

This commit simply bumps the version number of a third-party CI linting tool (cargo-semver-checks) used in GitHub Actions from 0.45.0 to 0.46.0. It changes one line in a workflow configuration file and has no effect on the actual Bitcoin library code, its APIs, or its runtime security.

This commit fixes a panic (sudden crash) in a Bitcoin transaction-signing helper. The function `spend_utxo` previously assumed that a referenced transaction output always existed, and used unchecked array indexing. If the output was missing, the program would crash instead of returning a proper error. The fix replaces the unchecked lookup with a bounds-checked one that returns a clean error.

Add test of error display and source

Kept as a separate commit due to the discussion on whether it is a
useful test or not.

This commit only adds a new unit test that checks whether an error message is non-empty and, when the standard library is available, whether the error has an underlying cause. It does not change any production code, fix a bug, or alter behavior. There is no security relevance.
