Bitcoin-Crypto-2.005

Changes for version 2.005

Added interface
- Bitcoin::Crypto::PSBT namespace (support for PSBT)
- Bitcoin::Crypto::Util::from_format function (the reverse of existing to_format)
- Bitcoin::Crypto::Util::pack_compactsize function
- Bitcoin::Crypto::Util::unpack_compactsize function
- Bitcoin::Crypto::DerivationPath class (internal representation of path)
- Bitcoin::Crypto::BIP44::get_derivation_path method (getting internal representation of BIP44 path)
- Bitcoin::Crypto::Network::single_network class method (single-network mode)
- Bitcoin::Crypto::Network::set_single method
- Bitcoin::Crypto::Network::unregister method
Improvements
- PSBT format from BIP174 can now be serialized, deserialized and validated using Bitcoin::Crypto::PSBT
- transactions can now be created without registering UTXOs beforehand (with limited functionality)
- format descriptions now also handle base64
- extended keys can now be derived by directly passing Bitcoin::Crypto::DerivationPath
- exception is no longer raised if the default network is among multiple possible networks after deserialization of WIFs and extended keys
- module can now be configured to work in single-network mode, disallowing creation of objects with different networks
Changes and deprecations
- codes in Bitcoin::Crypto::Script::Opcode are now integers instead of bytestrings of length 1
- Bitcoin::Crypto::Util::get_path_info now returns instances of Bitcoin::Crypto::DerivationPath (internal structure remains unchanged)
- Bitcoin::Crypto::Key::Public::key_hash is now deprecated, added new method get_hash (consistent naming with other modules)
