BDK v1.0.0-alpha.1: Experimental Release

BDK v1.0.0-alpha.1 is the second "alpha" release of the BDK 1.0 refactoring work. It is still a WIP and only meant to be used for testing and experimentation with downstream projects.

No Bullshit Bitcoin is funded by our community. Click here to support us.

"The BDK 1.0.0-alpha release should be used for experimentation only, APIs are still unstable and the code is not fully tested."
"This alpha.1 release introduces the new ChainOracle struct for more efficient chain syncing."
"A new std default feature was added for bdk, bdk_chain and bdk_esplora crates; when disabled these crates can be used in no-std projects."
"BDK 1.0.0-alpha.x docs are now published to docs.rs."
