When `rust-bitcoin` was started in 2014 the SPDX license list and short
identifiers where not a thing. Now that we have short identifiers and
they are gaining popularity in other projects we can consider using
them.
- Add links to the SPDX website in the readme
- Shorten the author section to a single line
- Remove all the licence information in each file and replace it with an
SPDX ID (see https://spdx.dev/ids/#how)
Of note:
- If the author of a file is explicitly listed, maintain this
information
- If the 'author' is listed as the generic 'Rust Bitcoin developers'
just remove the attribution, this is implicit. This does loose the date
info but that can be seen at any time from the git index using
`git log --follow --format=%ad --date default <FILE> | tail -1`
Use cargo to upgrade from edition 2015 to edition 2018.
cargo fix --edition
No manual changes made. The result of the command above is just to fix
all the use statements (add `crate::`) and fix the fully qualified path
formats i.e., `::Foo` -> `crate::Foo`.
The exact code formatting we use is not as important as uniformity.
Since we do not use tooling to control the formatting we have to be
vigilant ourselves. Recently I (Tobin) changed the way default type
parameters were formatted (arbitrarily but uniformly). Turns out I
picked the wrong way, there is already a convention as shown in the rust
documentation online (e.g. [1]).
Use 'conventional' spacing for default type parameters. Make the change
across the whole repository, found using
git grep '\<.* = .*\>'

Our usage of `where` statements is not uniform, nor is it inline with
the typical layout suggested by `rustfmt`.
Make an effort to be more uniform with usage of `where` statements.
However, explicitly do _not_ do every usage since sometimes our usage
favours terseness (all on a single line).
The merkle_root of an empty tree is undefined, this is the only error
case we have for the two `bitcoin_merkle_root*` functions. We can fully
describe this error case by returning an `Option` if args are found to
be empty. We can do the same for the wrapper functions in `block`
module.
While we are at it, refactor out a recursive helper function to make
reading the code between the two functions easier.
Calls to `unwrap` outside of tests are typically unfavourable.
In memory writers (`Vec`) do not error. We can use `expect` with a
descriptive message string to indicate this.
We test `bitcoin_merkle_root` over in the `blockdata::block` module.
Although the `bitcoin_merkle_root` and `bitcoin_merkle_root_inline`
functions are almost identical there is enough index manipulation done
that it is not immediately obvious that the code is error free.
Add a unit test that verifies that the two functions return the same
resulting merkle root.
Docs can always do with a bit of love.
Clean up the module level (`//!`) rustdocs for all public modules.
I claim uniform is better than any specific method/style. I tried to fit
in with what ever was either most sane of most prevalent, therefore
attaining uniformity without unnecessary code churn (one exception being
the changes to headings described below).
Notes:
* Headings - use heading as a regular sentence for all modules e.g.,
```
//! Bitcoin network messages.
```
as opposed to
```
//! # Bitcoin Network Messages
```
It was not clear which style to use so I picked a 'random' mature
project and copied their style.
* Added 'This module' in _most_ places as the start of the module
description, however I was not religious about this one.
* Fixed line length if necessary since most of our code seems to follow
short (80 char) line lengths for comments anyways.
* Added periods and fixed obvious (and sometimes not so obvious)
grammatically errors.
* Added a trailing `//!` to every block since this was almost universal
already. I don't really like this one but I'm guessing it is Andrew's
preferred style since its on the copyright notices as well.
Based on the original work by Justin Moon.
*MSRV unchanged from 1.29.0.*
When `std` is off, `no-std` must be on, and we use the [`alloc`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/alloc/) and core2 crates. The `alloc` crate requires the user define a global allocator.
* Import from `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
* `alloc` only used if `no-std` is on
* Create `std` feature
* Create `no-std` feature which adds a core2 dependency to polyfill `std::io` features. This is an experimental feature and should be
used with caution.
* CI runs tests `no-std`
* MSRV for `no-std` is 1.51 or so
- Move network::encodable::* to consensus::encode::*
- Rename Consensus{En,De}codable to {En,De}codable (now under
consensus::encode)
- Move network::serialize::Error to consensus::encode::Error
- Remove Raw{En,De}coder, implement {En,De}coder for T: {Write,Read}
instead
- Move network::serialize::Simple{En,De}coder to
consensus::encode::{En,De}coder
- Rename util::Error::Serialize to util::Error::Encode
- Modify comments to refer to new names
- Modify files to refer to new names
- Expose {En,De}cod{able,er}, {de,}serialize, Params
- Do not return Result for serialize{,_hex} as serializing to a Vec
should never fail
- Separate serialize::Error and network::Error from util::Error
- Remove unneeded propagate_err and consume_err
- Change fuzzing code to ignore Err type
The `serde_struct_impl!` macro has been modified to be compatible
with the serde 1.0 crate, we use this macro and not the `serde_derive`
crate because the latter doesn't support Rust 1.14.0 which is shipped
on Debian stable and we should remain compatible with it.
Two new features were added:
- "serde": enables serialization/deserialization for common types, it pulls
the serde 1.0 dependency.
- "serde-decimal": enables serialization/deserialization for `UDecimal`/`Decimal`,
this pulls the strason 0.4 depdendency and the serde 1.0 dependency.

In a project of mine I needed to check the merkle root before
moving some Vec<Transaction>s around, so need to be able to
calculate the merkle root on a Vec<Sha256dHash> directly.
This is needed to for a sane BIP143 implementation. Should be exactly equivalent to
serializing data into a vector then hashing that vector for all types.
