📢 Version 4.0.0 of BDK CLI has been released! This release introduces experimental support for creating silent payment transactions and adds support for BIP-353 DNS payment instructions. It also adds UTXO locking through new wallet commands. Async payjoin sessions are now persisted to SQLite, so interrupted payjoin sessions can be resumed. The release also includes internal refactoring that improves readability and makes adding new commands easier and less prone to errors. It also updates the Wallet API to v3.1.0 amongst other improvements. Massive thanks to all the contributors that made this release possible and especially to @tvpeter for being the bdk-cli maintainer and delivering this release. Check out the release note for details.
