Client-side-validation Foundation Library v0.5 is released
This version for the first time represents reference implementation for R1 version of client-side-validation standards, organized in separate sublibraries/rust crates: - 📦 Strict encoding (LNPBP-7 and LNPBP-42 standards): binary standard of encoding client-side-validated data and network addresses. - 📦 Commit-verify client-side-validation-specific APIs, including * consensus commitments (part of LNPBP-8 standard) * multi-commitments (LNPBP-4 standard) * merklization for client-side-validation (LNPBP-81 standard) - 📦 Single-use-seals API (LNPBP-8 standard) - 📦 Client-side-validation API from the library root, linking those components together according to LNPBP-9 standard.
