What’s New?

1. Logging Improvements: Cleaner, Smarter, Better 📝✨

• Removed Redundant TxID: No more cluttered logs! The TxID is now only included in the JsonParsingError, making logs cleaner and easier to read.
• Log File Rotation: Detected logs in the old format? We’ll automatically rotate them to an archive. Out with the old, in with the new!
• Better Error Formatting: Switched to the {} formatter for Display implementation, ensuring errors are logged in a human-readable way.

2. Timeouts: Because Waiting Forever is Overrated ⏳🚀

• Connection Timeout (5 seconds): If the Bitcoin node doesn’t respond quickly, we’ll move on. No more hanging around!
• Overall Timeout (10 seconds): From start to finish, your requests now have a strict time limit. Efficiency is key!
• Improved Error Handling: Timeouts now come with clear, actionable error messages. Know exactly what went wrong and where.

3. Error Handling: Graceful, Informative, and Robust 🛡️🔍

• Custom TimeoutError: Added a new error variant to handle timeout scenarios gracefully.
• Enhanced Context: Error messages now include details like the node address and RPC method, making debugging a breeze.
