This allows the data-src thread to hold a shared ref to a single checkpoint and have access to the whole history of checkpoints without cloning or keeping a lock on `LocalChain`. The APIs of `bdk::Wallet`, `esplora` and `electrum` are also updated to reflect these changes. Note that the `esplora` crate is rewritten to anchor txs in the confirmation block (using the esplora API's tx status block_hash). This guarantees 100% consistency between anchor blocks and their transactions (instead of anchoring txs to the latest tip). `ExploraExt` now has separate methods for updating the `TxGraph` and `LocalChain`. A new method `TxGraph::missing_blocks` is introduced for finding "floating anchors" of a `TxGraph` update (given a chain). Additional changes: * `test_local_chain.rs` is refactored to make test cases easier to write. Additional tests are also added. * Examples are updated. * Exclude example-cli `*.db` files in `.gitignore`. * Rm duplicate `bdk_tmp_plan` module. ### Notes to the reviewers This is the smallest possible division of #1002 without resulting in PRs that do not compile. Since we have changed the API of `LocalChain`, we also need to change `esplora`, `electrum` crates and examples alongside `bdk::Wallet`. ### Changelog notice * Implement linked-list `LocalChain`. This allows the data-src thread to hold a shared ref to a single checkpoint and have access to the whole history of checkpoints without cloning or keeping a lock on `LocalChain`. * Rewrote `esplora` chain-src crate to anchor txs to their confirmation blocks (using esplora API's tx-status `block_hash`). ### Checklists #### All Submissions: * [x] I've signed all my commits * [x] I followed the [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) * [x] I ran `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy` before committing #### New Features: * [x] I've added tests for the new feature * [x] I've added docs for the new feature ACKs for top commit: LLFourn: ACKb206a985cfTree-SHA512: a513eecb4f1aae6a5c06a69854e4492961424312a75a42d74377d363b364e3d52415bc81b4aa3fbc3f369ded19bddd07ab895130ebba288e8a43e9d6186e9fcc

BDK
A modern, lightweight, descriptor-based wallet library written in Rust!

About
The bdk libraries aims to provide well engineered and reviewed components for Bitcoin based applications.
It is built upon the excellent rust-bitcoin and rust-miniscript crates.
⚠ The Bitcoin Dev Kit developers are in the process of releasing a
v1.0which is a fundamental re-write of how the library works. See for some background on this project: https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/road-to-bdk-1/ (ignore the timeline 😁) For a release timeline see thebdk_core_stagingrepo where a lot of the component work is being done. The plan is that everything in thebdk_core_stagingrepo will be moved into thecratesdirectory here.
Architecture
The project is split up into several crates in the /crates directory:
bdk: Contains the central high levelWallettype that is built from the low-level mechanisms provided by the other componentschain: Tools for storing and indexing chain datafile_store: A (experimental) persistence backend for storing chain data in a single file.esplora: Extends theesplora-clientcrate with methods to fetch chain data from an esplora HTTP server in the form that [bdk_chain] andWalletcan consume.electrum: Extends theelectrum-clientcrate with methods to fetch chain data from an electrum server in the form that [bdk_chain] andWalletcan consume.
Fully working examples of how to use these components are in /example-crates
Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
This library should compile with any combination of features with Rust 1.57.0.
To build with the MSRV you will need to pin dependencies as follows:
# log 0.4.19 has MSRV 1.60.0+
cargo update -p log --precise "0.4.18"
# tempfile 3.7.0 has MSRV 1.63.0
cargo update -p tempfile --precise "3.6.0"
