What changed, and why it matters
This is an automated dependency update by Dependabot that bumps the 'bitcoin' Rust library from version 0.32.7 to 0.32.8, along with a related 'hex-conservative' library from 0.2.1 to 0.2.2. Only version numbers and cryptographic checksums in the project's package manifest files changed. There is no information in the commit itself indicating this fixes a security problem, and no independent references were provided to confirm any security relevance.
Review the rust-bitcoin 0.32.8 release notes and changelog to determine whether this patch addresses a security issue relevant to electrs. If a security fix is confirmed, prioritize deployment; otherwise treat as a routine dependency maintenance update. Verify the published crate checksums match those in Cargo.lock.

Evidence from the diff
The commit modifies Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock to upgrade the direct production dependency ‘bitcoin’ 0.32.7→0.32.8 and transitive dependency ‘hex-conservative’ 0.2.1→0.2.2. No source code changes are included. The commit message is a standard Dependabot semver-patch bump and does not mention a security fix, CVE, vulnerability, or bug class. Without external release notes or advisory references, the security relevance of the underlying rust-bitcoin 0.32.8 release cannot be determined from the diff alone.
