v1.11.0

General release information

Highlights of this release:

This release focuses on binary_sv2 reliability and cleanup, safer Sv1 parsing and conversion APIs, improved Sv1 difficulty handling, and expanded fuzz-testing coverage.

Notable highlights include:

• binary_sv2 received several reliability and maintainability improvements, including absolute paths in procedural macro expansions, proper compile-time errors from proc macros, restored std build support, and broad cleanup of unused code and internal APIs.
• sv1_api parsing and conversion paths were made safer by removing several unwrap calls, introducing the BadBytesConvert parsing error, and using bitcoin::hashes::hex for hexadecimal conversions.
• HexBytes and HexU32Be now rely on their standard serialization and deserialization implementations instead of custom serde implementations, simplifying the Sv1 API and reducing duplicated conversion logic.
• stratum-translation added integer power-of-two Sv1 difficulty conversion, improving difficulty and target conversion behavior between Stratum V1 and Stratum V2.
• sv1_api gained dedicated fuzz targets, expanding automated coverage of parsing and protocol-handling edge cases.
• channels_sv2::server::jobs::job_store::JobStore has been deprecated as part of the ongoing refinement and simplification of channel-management APIs.
• CI execution was accelerated by adopting cargo binstall for tool installation.
