Small improvements

Added

• Better python3 compatibility
• is_valid() method in BaseAddress to check address validity
• Factory for SegWit scripts, to better handle versioning
• Hash pinning in dependencies

Fixed

• Make some methods private in ExtendedPublicKey

Backward compatibility

Breaks the following old functionalities:

• The serialize_key() method in ExtendedPublicKey has been made private (i.e. renamed to _serialize_key())
• The serialized_public() method in ExtendedPublicKey has been made private (i.e. renamed to _serialized_public())

Segregated testing data

Moves unit testing data in separate JSON files

Testing and stream features

Fixes

• Minor fixes

Adds

• Additional unit tests for addresses
• Dump option to integration testing
• New hash functions on Stream

HD derivation

Fixes

• Public key derivation

Adds

• README paragraph on HD derivation
• test suite on HD derivation

Test fix

Fixes

• Adapt recent API breaking changest to integration testing

Bugfix

Fixes

• A bug in new pubkey compression method
• A bug in script unhexlify

Backward compatibility

• PublicKey's compress() method now returns a new key instead of changing the existing one

Add SegWit addresses and BIP32 support

Added

• Support for SegWit addresses
• New module hd, providing support for BIP32 HD derivation

Fixed

• The hd module partially solves issue #1

Backward compatibility

Breaks the following old functionalities:

• PrivateKey and PublicKey from_bip32() methods no longer exist
• AddressBuilder no longer exists
• Though SegWit addresses were supposed to be created and used through the Address class, now a SegWitAddress class has been introduced for that purpose
• The ScriptPubKey to_address() method no longer expects an optional bool to specify segwit/non-segwit, it now expects a segwit_version that defaults to None
