We need to do a quick release because it turns out I was wrong in
thinking that making `hex` an optional dependency is not a breaking
change.
```
the package `bitcoin` depends on `bitcoin_hashes`, with features: `hex`
but `bitcoin_hashes` does not have these features. It has a required
dependency with that name, but only optional dependencies can be used as
features.
```
Add a changelog, bump the version, depend on the new version repo wide,
and update the lock files - like its our job.
If folk really want to index into a hash they can us `as_byte_array`
then index that.
Includes a bump to the version number of `hashes` to `v0.15.0` - this
is because otherwise `secp` won't build since we are breaking an API
that is used in the current release of secp.
Fix: #3115
In preparation for releasing `internals v0.4.0` bump the version number,
add a changelog entry, update the lock files, and depend on the new
version in all crates that depend on `internals`.
The version 1.63 satisfies our requirements for MSRV and provides
significant benefits so this commit bumps it. This commit also starts
using some advantages of the new MSRV, namely namespaced features, weak
dependencies and the ability to use trait bounds in `const` context.
This however does not yet migrade the `rand-std` feature because that
requires a release of `secp256k1` with the same kind of change - bumping
MSRV to 1.63 and removing `rand-std` in favor of weak dependency.
Eventually we would like all our crates other than `bitcoin` to be able
to be used without an allocator. Currently, and during crate smashing,
this is not that useful because so much of the code comes from `bitcoin`
and relies on the availability of an allocator.
As an initial step, add the `alloc` feature to `addresses` , `base58`,
and `primitives`.
In order to to keep `--no-default-features` builds working make the
crates empty if the `alloc` feature is not enabled. This is a suboptimal
solution because the error messages users will get when they forget to
enable `alloc` will be confusing (eg something like primitives does not
contain Transaction). However our CI script (`run_task.sh`) expects
`--no-default-features` to build cleanly (as do I).
The package metatadata never changes and is not necessary to look at
basically ever, put it down the bottom of the manifest out of the way.
Helps to keep features and dependencies closer together.
Refactor only, no logic changes.
We have 2 crates that require an allocator, `bitcoin` and `base58ck` -
these crates should enable the "alloc" feature when depending on
`internals`.
For `units` we use the `internals::error::InputString` but do not enable
the "alloc" feature - this is a bug, it means that the parsed string is
being lost from the error types that use `InputString`.
Enable "alloc" for `bitcoin`, `base58ck`, and `units`.
- `bitcoin` and `base56ck` is just for good measure so we don't get
bitten later on.
- `units` is a bug fix and requires a point release.
0ca5a43ce5 hashes: Bump version to v0.14.0 (Tobin C. Harding)
Pull request description:
In preparation for release add a changlelog entry and bump the version.
Note the hashes 0.13.0 dependency stays in the dependency graph because of secp, we can update secp after releasing `hashes` then update the secp dependency in `rust-bitcoin` thereby removing the `hashes v0.13.0` dependency - phew.
Note we are right to release this immediately, the two open PRs (#2337 and #2541) that touch `hashes` only add a clippy attribute so can safely be ignored.

In preparation for release add a changlelog entry and bump the version.
I'm not 100% sure that this release is API breaking, dependencies
definitely changed. The rest might be only additives but I didn't bother
looking exactly because I think its better to bump the minor version and
err on the side of caution.
Note the hashes 0.13.0 dependency stays in the dependency graph because
of secp, we can update secp after releasing `hashes` then update the
secp dependency in `rust-bitcoin` thereby removing the `hashes v0.13.0`
dependency - phew.
Add a new `base58` crate to the workspace and move the `bitcoin::base58`
module to it.
Done as part of crate smashing, specifically so that we can make `bip32`
into a separate crate.
