What changed, and why it matters
This is a routine dependency version bump by Dependabot, updating the bitcoin_slices library from version 0.10.0 to 0.11.0. Only the version number and cryptographic checksum changed in the project's package files. There is no indication in the commit itself of any security fix or vulnerability.
No immediate security action is required. If reviewing for supply-chain risk, inspect the bitcoin_slices 0.11.0 release notes and diff for any behavior changes that could affect electrs, and run the project's test suite before merging.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit updates a single direct production dependency, bitcoin_slices, from 0.10.0 to 0.11.0 in Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock. The diff shows only version and checksum changes; no source code, API usage, or feature flags were modified. No release notes, changelog, or advisory references are supplied, and the commit message is the standard Dependabot dependency-update template.
