Remove the unstable hex-conservative dependency

This commit is a routine dependency cleanup. The project previously had to use two different versions of the same hex-encoding helper library (one stable, one unstable preview) because a needed feature was only available in the unstable ve…

Delete psbt module

This commit removes the entire PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction) module from the rust-bitcoin library on the master branch. It is a planned code cleanup, not a security fix. The PSBT functionality has been moved to a separate cra…

Move script hex parsing to primitives

This commit is a routine code reorganization: it moves functions that parse Bitcoin script hex strings from the main `bitcoin` crate into the lower-level `primitives` crate. The old functions in `bitcoin` are kept as deprecated aliases so …

bitcoin: Add default arg to bip32 example

This change only touches an example program used for documentation and CI demos. It makes the seed argument optional by providing a documented default value. There is no security issue: the seed was already hard-coded in the comment above,…

Run the formatter

This commit is purely a code-formatting cleanup. It runs the project's formatter across 58 files, adjusting whitespace, line breaks, import order, and adding two missing semicolons the formatter exposed. There are no functional code change…

ecdsa: Add to/from_signature, len, and iter

This commit is a routine API cleanup for the rust-bitcoin library. It adds a few helper methods (to_signature, from_signature, len, iter) to the ECDSA serialized-signature type and reorders existing methods in the Taproot serialized-signat…

Move/add From<PushBytes> for SerializedSignature

This commit is a small internal code reorganization. It moves an existing conversion helper (so a serialized ECDSA signature can be viewed as a script 'push bytes' object) to a more central location, and adds an equivalent helper for Tapro…

Only return valid data in sig slice

This commit fixes a bug in how serialized Bitcoin signatures expose their byte content. Previously, code asking for the signature bytes could receive the entire internal buffer, including leftover or uninitialized bytes beyond the actual s…

Remove mutable impls from ecdsa SerializedSignature

This commit removes the ability for outside code to directly modify the raw bytes of an ECDSA serialized signature object in the rust-bitcoin library. Previously, callers could obtain a mutable reference to the internal byte buffer and cha…

Add equality impls to ecdsa::SerializedSignature

crypto: Re-order taproot::Signature methods

This commit simply reorders two methods inside the same Rust source file so that the taproot signature code matches the layout of the ECDSA signature code. No code behavior, logic, or public API changed. It is a cosmetic cleanup only.
