0.30 - 2023-XX-XX "The First Crate-Smashing Release"

  • Drop PackedLockTime, replace with richer LockTime everywhere Be aware that LockTime does not have an Ord implementation, so users who need a total ordering on locktimes will be forced to wrap this type. In Transaction, which contains a LockTime but is Ord, we have manually sorted the locktimes based on their consensus encoding. This ordering is somewhat arbitrary -- there is no total ordering on locktimes since they may be measured in either blocks or seconds.

0.29 - 2022-07-20 "Edition 2018 Release"

As promised, this is our quick release to bring on edition 2018 by increasing our MSRV to Rust 1.41.1 #983

This work saw a bunch of new language features become available to us. At the same time we were able to start using rustfmt. We also started linting as part of CI.

Breaking changes

There are numerous breaking changes in this release related to the new language features but also other improvements such as more newtypes added. Note that not all changes cause compilation failure! For example, Witness serialization was changed to support human-readable formats.

0.28.2 - 2022-11-01

Backported a set of changes from 0.29 which may cause some specific transactions and/or blocks to fail to deserialize. No known such transactions exist on any public blockchain.

0.28 - 2022-04-20 "The Taproot Release"

At nearly nine months, this is our longest release cycle ever, and thanks to a huge increase in the number of active contributors this year and last, it is also by far our largest release ever, at 148 PRs merged from 23 different contributors. Our primary goal in this release was to introduce support for Taproot and its associated data structures: addresses, taptrees, sighashes, PSBT fields, and more. As it turned out, these changes required (or at least, incentivized) changing a lot of our APIs, causing a significant increase in scope.

We have more big changes coming down the pike. 2022 is going to be a big year for rust-bitcoin, which we know is exciting for us but disruptive to downstream users who ultimately want the library to just work. Our hope is that by 2023 we will have eliminated large amounts of technical debt, modernized our APIs to meet current Rust conventions, and clarified the scope of the individual crates in this ecosystem while still providing the essential functionality needed by our downstream users, especially wallet projects.

We will also develop a plan to make our releases more predictable and manageable, likely by having scheduled releases with limited scope. We would like to reach a point where we no longer have frequent breaking releases, but right now we are nowhere close.

Upcoming changes will include

  • A quick new release which updates our MRSV from 1.29 to 1.41 and does little else
  • Updating our codebase to take advantage of the new MSRV, especially regarding nostd and wasm support
  • A comprehensive rethinking and flattening of our public-facing APIs
  • Richer support for PSBT, Script, and BIP-0340/Schnorr signatures

With so many changes since 0.27, we cannot list every PR. Here are the highlights:

Additionally we made several minor API changes (renaming methods, etc.) to improve compliance with modern Rust conventions. Where possible we left the existing methods in place, marked as deprecated.

0.27 - 2021-07-21

0.26.2 - 2021-06-08

The previous release changed the behavior of Display for ChildNumber, assuming that any correct usage would not be affected. Issue 608 goes into the details of why this isn't the case and how we broke both rust-miniscript and BDK.
