Rust version 1.56.0 introduced edition 2021. Shortly afterwards, on October 21 2021 Rust version 1.56.1 was released. Debian stable is currently shipping `rustc 1.63.0`. Our stated MSRV policy is: In Debian stable and at least 2 years old. Therefore our MSRV policy is met by Rust version 1.56.1 and we can strat to bump our MSRV org wide. Start by bumping the `rust-bitcoin` and `hashes` MSRV to Rust 1.56.1, includes: - Update docs. - Update CI and remove pinning. - Update the build files and remove now stale cfg attributes rust_v_1_x for values less than the new MSRV. - Use new `IntoIterator` for arrays so we no longer need to allocate a vector to iterate.

Bitcoin Hashes Library
This is a simple, no-dependency library which implements the hash functions needed by Bitcoin. These are SHA1, SHA256, SHA256d, SHA512, and RIPEMD160. As an ancilliary thing, it exposes hexadecimal serialization and deserialization, since these are needed to display hashes anway.
Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
This library should always compile with any combination of features on Rust 1.56.1.
To build with the MSRV you will need to pin serde
(if you have either the serde
or the
schemars
feature enabled)
# serde 1.0.157 uses syn 2.0 which requires edition 2021
cargo update -p serde --precise 1.0.156
before building. (And if your code is a library, your downstream users will need to run these commands, and so on.)
Contributions
Contributions are welcome, including additional hash function implementations.
Githooks
To assist devs in catching errors before running CI we provide some githooks. If you do not already have locally configured githooks you can use the ones in this repository by running, in the root directory of the repository:
git config --local core.hooksPath githooks/
Alternatively add symlinks in your .git/hooks
directory to any of the githooks we provide.
Running Benchmarks
We use a custom Rust compiler configuration conditional to guard the bench mark code. To run the
bench marks use: RUSTFLAGS='--cfg=bench' cargo +nightly bench
.
