Add {Lower,Upper}Hex to ecdsa::Signature

This commit adds new ways to print ECDSA Bitcoin signatures as hexadecimal text (lowercase and uppercase), matching formatting already available for Taproot signatures. It also makes the existing Display implementation reuse the new LowerH…

Add From/TryFrom for Signature/SerializedSignature

This commit adds standard Rust conversion traits (From/TryFrom) between an ECDSA signature and its serialized byte form. It is a small API-consistency change that mirrors traits already present on the Taproot signature type. There is no in…

Replace Signature Display with call to SerializedSignature

This commit fixes a formatting bug in how Bitcoin ECDSA signatures are printed as text. Previously, the signature was printed in two separate pieces (the DER-encoded signature and the sighash byte), which could mishandle formatting options…

Add PartialOrd, Ord to ecdsa::Signature

This commit simply adds standard sorting traits (PartialOrd and Ord) to an ECDSA signature type and its associated sighash type, matching what already exists for similar types. There is no indication this fixes or introduces a security pro…

Remove PrivateKeyExt and make PrivateKey::as_inner private

This commit is a routine API cleanup, not a security fix. It removes a helper trait called PrivateKeyExt and hides a low-level accessor method (as_inner) that exposes the underlying secret key object. The same signing behavior is preserved…

Move serde_round_trip macro to bip32

This commit is a routine code cleanup: it moves a small test-only helper macro from a shared internal utility crate into the one place it is actually used. There is no change to user-facing behavior, no bug fix, and no security relevance.

This commit removes a convenience conversion that let users turn a borrowed Taproot signature into an owned, serialized byte form. The change is API-cleanup: the old trait made it look like the serialized form was just a view of the origin…

This commit is a small internal cleanup in the rust-bitcoin library. It changes how a Taproot signature is parsed from a hexadecimal string so that it no longer needs to allocate a temporary byte vector. The change removes an unnecessary m…

No memory-safety bug is fixed: the old code used a heap allocation, not an unsafe buffer overflow.No input validation change: accepted hex lengths remain 128 or 130 characters.No cryptographic correctness change: from_slice is still the final decoder.
