1.48.0 was released at the end of 2020, nearly 2.5 years ago. It
has been the rustc available on Debian stable since bullseye,
released in 2021. supporting Debian oldstable for more than a year
seems more than sufficient time to give Debian folks to upgrade,
and bullseye is set to become `oldstable` later this year with the
release of `bookworm`, likely this summer.
This also allows us to clean up our MSRV substantially, having a
single MSRV across our crates rather than a number of separate
ones. Sadly, windows already requires 1.49.
To support HTTPS endpoints, the async HTTP library `reqwest` needs one of
the `-tls` features enabled. While the users could specify this in their
own cargo dependencies, we here provide a new `esplora-async-https`
feature for conveinience.
We have some downstream folks who are using LDK in wasm compiled
via the normal rust wasm path. To ensure nothing breaks they want
to use `no-std` on the lightning crate, disabling time calls as
those panic. However, the HTTP logic in
`lightning-transaction-sync` gets automatically stubbed out by the
HTTP client crates when targeting wasm via `wasm_bindgen`, so it
works fine despite the std restrictions.
In order to make both work, `lightning-transaction-sync` can remain
`std`, but needs to not automatically enable the `std` flag on the
`lightning` crate, ie by setting `default-features = false`. We do
so here.
Because `lightning-transaction-sync` does not have an MSRV (and
because its dev-dependencies are huge), we can't build it by
default when devs run `cargo test`, so it is moved out of the
top-level workspace.
The previous copy was more than one and a half years old, the
lightning network has changed a lot since!
As of this commit, performance on my Xeon W-10885M with a
SK hynix Gold P31 storing a BTRFS volume is as follows:

This adds testing of the `futures` feature to CI. In order to avoid
introducing a dependency on `std`, we switch to using the `futures-util`
crate directly enabling only a subset of features. To this end, we also
switch to using the `select_biased!` macro, which is equivalent to
`select!` except that it doesn't choose ready futures pseudo-randomly
at runtime.
Rust is incredibly forgiving in attempts to access `std`, making it
rather difficult to test `no-std` properly. In practice, the only
decent way to do so is to actually build for a platform that does
not have `std`, which we do here by building the `no-std-check`
crate for `arm-thumbv7m-none-eabi`.
So far, CI did not check the code in the `release` build profile, which
could result in some things not getting caught. To fix this, we now
implement a new CI job that runs checks in the `release` profile.
Switch to stable toolchain.
1.51 (and other earlier versions of `rustc`) appear to refuse to
accept our documentation links due to a bogus failure to resolve
`ChannelTypeFeatures::supports_scid_privacy`.
To ensure no-std is honored across dependencies, add a crate depending
on lightning crates supporting no-std. This should ensure any
regressions are caught. Otherwise, cargo doesn't seem to catch some
incompatibilities (e.g., f64::log10 unavailable in core) and seemingly
across other dependencies as describe here:
https://blog.dbrgn.ch/2019/12/24/testing-for-no-std-compatibility/
1.41.1 is currently the Firefox ESR MSRV, which means its also the
version several Linux distros ship. Further, rust-bitcoin is likely
to make a similar change soon, see
https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/issues/510.
`cargo bench` sets `cfg(test)`, causing us to hit some test-only
code in the router when benchmarking, throwing off our benchmarks
substantially. Here we swap from the `unstable` feature to a more
clearly internal feature (`_bench_unstable`) and also checking for
it when enabling test-only code.
Some time ago codecov stopped supporting their old v1 uploader, and
it seems they've now finally turned it off, so we aren't getting
any coverage reports anymore. Hopefully upgrading is pretty trivial.
This adds a new (non-feature) cfg argument `c_bindings` which will
be set when building C bindings. With this, we can (slightly) tweak
behavior and API based on whether we are being built for Rust or C
users.
Ideally we'd never need this, but as long as we can keep the API
consistent-enough to avoid material code drift, this gives us a
cheap way of doing the "right" thing for both C and Rust when the
two are in tension.
We also move lightning-background-processor to support the same
MSRV as the main lightning crate, instead of only
lightning-net-tokio's MSRV.
