Jun 1, 2026

June 2026 highlights for breez/spark-sdk: Delivered a major migration to SparkSigner, centralizing all Spark signing logic and removing most direct low-level signer calls from user flows; implemented SparkSignerAdapter wrapping the in-process Signer, migrated deposit signing to the SparkSigner backbone, and completed the full routing of signing operations (refunds, transfers, claims, coop-exits, token and invoice signing, and lightning preimage) through SparkSigner. Achieved BreezSigner split into a Spark signer and a non-Spark BreezSigner, enabling a builder that derives both signers from a single seed and WASM bindings for ExternalSparkSigner; removed identity_public_key from Breez signer to improve symmetry. Improved Turnkey integration: added create_turnkey_signer factory, exported ExternalSigners alongside Breez/Spark signers, added tests and cross-version compatibility work, and hardened reliability with request-timeouts, Retry-After handling, and recovery-id checks. Evolved External signer and FFI layers: added ExternalSparkSigner trait and adapters, FFI blocks, and multi-signer factory; refactored key management to a path-based signer trait and eliminated non-default KeySet in favor of derivation paths. Strengthened testing and security: broadened cross-signer test coverage, hardened logs by redacting preimages, and aligned function naming across wasm and native layers.
