## Changes to and involving the `Network` type

In release 0.31.0 we managed to annoy a lot of people by the addition of `non_exhaustive` to the
`Network` type. After much discussion, and in an effort to cater to multiple camps, we did a bunch
of changes this release. To sum up, "network" is ill defined and it means different things to
different devs/software. Your software should probably have some custom handling of whatever
"network" means to you.

In particular consider having some type that implements `AsRef<Params>`, we have attempted to
 replace `Network` in much of the API ([#2541](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/2541)).

- Add `NetworkKind` [#2232](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/2232)
- Reduce usage of `Network` in the public API [#2541](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/2541)
- Remove `Network` from `AddressInner` [#1832](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/1832)
- Add consts to `Params` for individual networks [#2396](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/2396)
- Add `params()` method to `Network` [#2172](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/2172)
- Use `KnowHrp`` instead of `Network` [#2387](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/2387)
- Add check to max difficulty transition threshold [#2337](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/2337)

  - Remove `PackedLockTime`, [replace with richer `LockTime` everywhere](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/1330)
     Be aware that `LockTime` does not have an `Ord` implementation, so users who need a
     total ordering on locktimes will be forced to wrap this type. In `Transaction`, which
     contains a `LockTime` but is `Ord`, we have manually sorted the locktimes based on
     their consensus encoding. This ordering is somewhat arbitrary -- there is no total
     ordering on locktimes since they may be measured in either blocks or seconds.
  - [Removed `FromHex` implementation](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/1565) from
    all types except `Vec` and arrays, replace where appropriate with `FromStr`.

- Performance improvements:
  - [Remove needless allocation from BIP-158 encoding](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/1146)
  - [Implement fast hex encoding](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/1268) (usage added in a [later PR](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/1476))

- Testing improvements:
  - Started using [kani](https://github.com/model-checking/kani)
  - Started using [mutagen](https://github.com/llogiq/mutagen)

# 0.29 - 2022-07-20 "Edition 2018 Release"

As promised, this is our quick release to bring on edition 2018 by increasing our MSRV to Rust
1.41.1 [#983](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/983)

This work saw a bunch of new language features become available to us. At the
same time we were able to start using `rustfmt`. We also started linting as part
of CI.

## Breaking changes

There are numerous breaking changes in this release related to the new language features but also
other improvements such as more newtypes added. Note that not all changes cause compilation failure!
For example, [`Witness` serialization was changed](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/1068)
to support human-readable formats.

# 0.28.2 - 2022-11-01

Backported a set of changes from 0.29 which may cause some specific
transactions and/or blocks to fail to deserialize. No known such transactions
exist on any public blockchain.

# 0.28 - 2022-04-20 "The Taproot Release"

At nearly nine months, this is our longest release cycle ever, and thanks
to a huge increase in the number of active contributors this year and last,
it is also **by far** our largest release ever, at 148 PRs merged from 23
different contributors. Our primary goal in this release was to introduce
support for Taproot and its associated data structures: addresses, taptrees,
sighashes, PSBT fields, and more. As it turned out, these changes required
(or at least, incentivized) changing a lot of our APIs, causing a significant
increase in scope.

We have more big changes coming down the pike. 2022 is going to be a big
year for `rust-bitcoin`, which we know is exciting for us but disruptive to
downstream users who ultimately want the library to just work. Our hope is
that by 2023 we will have eliminated large amounts of technical debt,
modernized our APIs to meet current Rust conventions, and clarified the scope
of the individual crates in this ecosystem while still providing the essential
functionality needed by our downstream users, especially wallet projects.

We will also develop a plan to make our releases more predictable and manageable,
likely by having scheduled releases with limited scope. We would like to reach
a point where we no longer have frequent breaking releases, but right now we
are nowhere close.

Upcoming changes will include
- A quick new release which updates our MRSV from 1.29 to 1.41 and does little else
- Updating our codebase to take advantage of the new MSRV, especially regarding
nostd and wasm support
- A comprehensive rethinking and flattening of our public-facing APIs
- Richer support for PSBT, Script, and BIP-0340/Schnorr signatures

* Add [`Script::is_op_return()`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/101/) which is more specific than
  `Script::is_provably_unspendable()`
* Update to bech32 0.8.0; [add Regtest bech32 address support](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/110)
* [Replace rustc-serialize dependency with hex](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/107) as a stopgap
  toward eliminating any extra dependencies for this; clean up the many independent hex encoders and decoders
  throughout the codebase.
* [Add conversions between `ChildNumber` and `u32`](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/126); make
  representation non-public; fix documentation
* [Add several derivation convenience](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/129) to `bip32` extended keys
* Make `deserialize::deserialize()` [enforce no trailing bytes](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/129)
* Replace `TxOutRef` with `OutPoint`; use it in `TxIn` struct.
* Use modern `as_` `to_` `into_` conventions for array-wrapping types; impl `Display` rather than `ToString` for most types
* Change `script::Instructions` iterator [to allow rejecting non-minimal pushes](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/136);
  fix bug where errors would iterate forever.
* Overhaul `util::Error`; introduce `serialize::Error` [and use it for `SimpleDecoder` and `SimpleDecoder` rather
  than parameterizing these over their error type](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/137).
* Overhaul `UDecimal` and `Decimal` serialization and parsing [and fix many lingering parsing bugs](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/142)
* [Update to serde 1.0 and strason 0.4](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/125)
* Update to secp256k1 0.11.0
* Many, many documentation and test improvements.

# 0.13.1

* Add `Display` trait to uints, `FromStr` trait to `Network` enum
* Add witness inv types to inv enum, constants for Bitcoin regtest network, `is_coin_base` accessor for tx inputs
* Expose `merkleroot(Vec<Sha256dHash>)`

# 0.13

* Move witnesses inside the `TxIn` structure
* Add `Transaction::get_weight()`
* Update bip143 `sighash_all` API to be more ergonomic

# 0.12

* The in-memory blockchain was moved into a dedicated project rust-bitcoin-chain.
* Removed old script interpreter
* A new optional feature "bitcoinconsensus" lets this library use Bitcoin Core's native
script verifier, wrappend into Rust by the rust-bitcoinconsenus project.
See `Transaction::verify` and `Script::verify` methods.
* Replaced Base58 traits with `encode_slice`, `check_encode_slice`, from and `from_check` functions in the base58 module.
* Un-reversed the Debug output for Sha256dHash
* Add bech32 support
* Support segwit address types

### 0.11

* Remove `num` dependency at Matt's request; agree this is obnoxious to require all
downstream users to also have a `num` dependency just so they can use `Uint256::from_u64`.
