We have three integer wrapping types that can be created from hex
strings where the conversion from an integer is infallible:
- `absolute::LockTime`
- `Sequence`
- `CompactTarget`
We would like to improve our handling of the two prefix characters (eg
0x) by making it explicit.
- Modify the inherent `from_hex` method on each type to error if the
input string does not contain a prefix.
- Add an additional inherent method on each type `from_unprefixed_hex`
that errors if the input string does contain a prefix.
This patch does not touch the wrapper types that cannot be infallibly
constructed from an integer (i.e. absolute `Height` and `Time`).
Improve the public exports in two ways:
1. Inline re-exports into the docs of the module that re-exports them.
2. Separate public and private use statements
Recently we discussed a way to separate the public and private import
statements to make the code more clear and prevent `rustfmt` joining
them all together.
Separate public exports using a code block and `#[rustfmt::skip]`. Has
the nice advantage of reducing the number of `#[doc(inline)]` attributes
also.
1. Modules first, as they are part of the project's structure.
2. Private imports
3. Public re-exports (using `rustfmt::skip` to prevent merge)
Use the format
```rust
mod xyz;
mod abc;
use ...;
pub use {
...,
};
```
This patch introduces changes to the rendered HTML docs.
We would like the codebase to be optimized for readability not ease of
development, as such code that is write-once-read-many should not use
macros.
Currently we use the `impl_std_error` macro to implement
`std::error::Error` for struct error types. This makes the code harder
to read at a glance because one has to think what the macro does.
Remove the `impl_std_error` macro and write the code explicitly.
Add a `ValidationError` to the `block` module and remove the two
variants out of `crate::Error`.
This error is only used by the `validate_pow` function, a specific error
better serves our purposes.
Currently we have a mishmash of attribution lines accompanying the SPDX
identifier. These lines are basically meaningless because:
- The date is often wrong
- The original author attributed is not the only contributor to a file
- The term "rust bitcoin developers" is basically just noise
Just remove all the attribution lines and be done with it. While we are
at it add an SPDX line to the few files missing it, whether this license
nonsense is even needed is left as an argument for another day.

We can use `package` to rename `bitcoin_hashes` to `hashes` and `bitcoin_internals` to `internals`. This makes imports more terse with no loss of meaning.

If we use `#![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_auto_cfg))]` instead of
`#![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_cfg))]` we no longer need to manually
mark types with `#[cfg_attr(docsrs, doc(cfg(feature = "std")))]`.
Sweeeeeet.
We can use `package` to rename `bitcoin_hashes` to `hashes` and
`bitcoin_internals` to `internals`. This makes imports more terse with
no loss of meaning.
We now have an `error` module but the `util::Error`, which is a general
error, is not in it.
Make `Error` more ergonomic to use by doing:
- Move the `util::Error` to `crate::error::Error`
- Re-export it from the crate root since it is our most general error
- Re-export and deprecated it from `util`
Create a directory `bitcoin` and move into it the following as is with
no code changes:
- src
- Cargo.toml
- contrib
- test_data
- examples
Then do:
- Add a workspace to the repository root directory.
- Add the newly created `bitcoin` crate to the workspace.
- Exclude `fuzz` and `embedded` crates from the workspace.
- Add a contrib/test.sh script that runs contrib/test.sh in each
sub-crate
- Fix the bitcoin/contrib/test.sh script
