Release v0.8.0
A new release of BDK is out: v0.8.0 (opens new window) brings new APIs and other minor bugfixes and internal improvements.
You can find the full v0.8.0 changelog (opens new window) on GitHub.
# What's new in v0.8.0
Below are some highlights of the new release:
# Getting the Derivation Index
The Wallet::get_address() method now returns an AddressInfo (opens new window) structure, rather than a simple Address. This new structure contains the address but also the derivation index, which can be useful in some contexts.
Since the structure implements Deref<Target=Address> it can be used directly as a &Address, which simplifies migrating to this change a little bit.
let address_info = wallet.get_address(AddressInfo::New)?;
// Print the address and derivation index
println!("Address #{}: {}", address_info.index, address_info.address);
// Use the `AddressInfo` structure directly like an `Address`
let script_pubkey = address_info.script_pubkey();
# Explicitly Enable non-ALL Sighashes
To mitigate potential attacks in multiparty protocols, this release includes a new SignOptions::allow_all_sighashes (opens new window) option that must be explicitly enabled to let the signers produce signatures
with any non-ALL sighash.
let mut psbt = ...;
// Fails if the psbt uses non-ALL sighashes
let finalized = wallet.sign(&mut psbt, SignOptions::default())?;
// Produces a signature successfully
let finalized = wallet.sign(&mut psbt, SignOptions { allow_all_sighashes: true, ..Default::default() })?;
