We are trying to make error types stable on the way to v1.0
The current `hashes::Error` is a "general" enum error type with a single
variant, better to use a struct and make the error usecase specific.
Improve the `hashes::Error` by doing:
- Make it a struct
- Rename to `FromSliceError`
- Move it to the crate root (remove `error` module)
Includes usage in `bitcoin`.
During the last round of releases (bitcoin 0.30, hashes 0.12) we removed
the `FromHex` implementation from all types except vecs and arrays. We
added `FromStr` impls for types that roundtrip with `Display`.
We never added a changelog mention to either `bitcoin` or `hashes`, lets
retroactively add an entry.
Fix: #1747
We would like to bring the `bitcoin_hashes` crate into the
`rust-bitcoin` repository.
Import `bitcoin_hashes` into `rust-bitocin/hashes`, doing so looses all
the commit history from the original crate but if we archive the
original repository then the history will be preserved. We maintain the
same version number obviously and in the changelog we note the change of
repository.
Commit hash that was tip of `bitcoin_hashes` at time of import:
commit 54c16249e06cc6b7870c7fc07d90f489d82647c7
Includes making `embedded` and `fuzzing` per-crate i.e., move them into
`bitcoin` as hashes includes these also.
NOTE: Does _not_ enable fuzzing for `hashes` in CI.
Notes on CI:
Attempts to merge in the github actions from the hashes crate however reduces
coverage by not running hashes tests for beta toolchain. Some additional
work could be done to improve the CI to increase efficiency without
reducing coverage. Leaving for another day.
