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.
Needed for applications where the tweak and the secret key material are on different
devices (and the one with the secret material does not want to know how to compute
the tweak itself).
This code was unmaintained, is unlikely to work on the majority of systems
(since it holds the whole utxoset in RAM, and not in a terribly efficient
manner), and has a dependency on `eventual` which has been broken for a
long time.
The library no longer compiles on nightly because of this, and without any
known usecases for `UtxoSet`, nor good ability to test it, I'm simply
removing the code.
I recommend anyone who cares about this extracts the code from the previous
commit and creates a new crate. It should be more featureful anyway, e.g.
support a backing store.
Rather than having methods taking &mut self, have them consume self
and return another Builder, so that methods can be chained.
Bump major version number.
This is easy to satisfy given that the template-to-script code takes a
slice of keys. Just do &keys[..n_keys] if you have too many keys. (If
you have too few you're SOL no matter what.) This way we can catch
likely configuration errors without putting much of a burden on users
who legitimately have more keys than the template requires.
Also add a method required_keys() to Template so that users can check
how many keys they ought to have.
This is easy for downstream to add, not easy for them to remove. Plus scripts
have a pretty recognizable form and are usually obvious from context anyway.
Does not do stuff like validating the form of contracts, since this seems like
more of an application thing. Does not even distinguish a "nonce", just assumes
the contract has whatever uniqueness is needed baked in.
Breaking changes are:
opcode::All::from_u8 is now From<u8>
script::Builder::from_vec is now From<Vec<u8>>
script::Script::from_vec is now From<Vec<u8>>
