The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds new helper methods to the SHA-256 'Midstate' type in the rust-bitcoin hashes library. These helpers let callers compute SHA-256 intermediate states inside 'const' contexts (compile-time constants). It is a routine feature addition with no obvious security bug, no fix of a vulnerability, and no disclosed security relevance.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review as normal code-quality/API change if desired.
