Release 1.0.0-alpha.9

Summary

This regular bi-weekly alpha release updates dependencies rust-bitcoin to v0.31.0 and rust-miniscript to v11.0.0 plus replaces the deprecated rust-miniscript function max_satisfaction_weight with max_weight_to_satisfy. It also adds chain module improvements needed to simplify syncing with electrum and esplora blockchain clients.

Changelog

Fixed

• Replace the deprecated max_satisfaction_weight from rust-miniscript to max_weight_to_satisfy. #1345

Changed

• Update dependencies: rust-bitcoin to v0.31.0 and rust-miniscript to v11.0.0. #1177
• Changed TxGraph to store transactions as Arc. This allows chain-sources to cheaply keep a copy of already-fetched transactions. #1373
• Add get and range methods to CheckPoint #1369
  • Added get and range methods to CheckPoint (and in turn, LocalChain). This simulates an API where we have implemented a skip list of checkpoints (to implement in the future). This is a better API because we can query for any height or height range with just a checkpoint tip instead of relying on a separate checkpoint index (which needs to live in LocalChain).
  • Changed LocalChain to have a faster Eq implementation. We now maintain an xor value of all checkpoint block hashes. We compare this xor value to determine whether two chains are equal.
  • Added PartialEq implementation for CheckPoint and local_chain::Update.
• Methods into_tx_graph and into_confirmation_time_tx_graph for RelevantTxids are changed to no longer accept a seen_at parameter. #1385
  • Added method update_last_seen_unconfirmed for TxGraph.
• Added proptest for CheckPoint::range. #1397
