The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal restructuring of the btcd project's Go module layout. It switches the btcutil package and its subpackages from the old module path to a new 'v2' path, and updates imports throughout the code to point at newly split-out submodules (address, chaincfg, chainhash, txscript, wire). It also copies one small helper function (HashMerkleBranches) into the bloom package to avoid depending on the blockchain package. There is no indication in the commit of any security bug being fixed.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal dependency/module refactor. Consumers of btcutil should update their import paths to /v2 when upgrading.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
