As `lightning-transaction-sync` was introduced with 0.0.114 and depended
on prior changes in the same release cycle we deemed it reasonable to
omit the implicitly limited backwards compatibility.
It however turns out this might be confusing to users copy/pasting the
codebase. Here we therefore spell out the implicit dependency on 0.0.114
and above.
`OnceCell` doesn't call `drop`, which makes the spawned
`bitcoind`/`electrsd` instances linger around after our tests have
finished. To fix this, we move them out of `OnceCell` and let every test
that needs them spawn their own instances. This additional let us drop
the `OnceCell` dev dependency.
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.
This crate provides utilities for syncing LDK via the transaction-based
`Confirm` interface. The initial implementation facilitates
synchronization with an Esplora backend server.
