Some features of bitcore will be too large to be included in the browser bundle
by default. Since BIP39 pretty much requires the giant list of words to be
used, I am excluding it by default. The ability to exclude some features by
default will become useful with some particularly large features to come,
particularly BIP70.
Bitcore in Copay is not being installed correctly due to changes we made
recently in the way bitcore is compiled (it is not compiled on install, but on
prepublish). This adds all the bundles to the repo to fix that issue.
...no longer relies on Manuel's repo hostig a version of "bignum" that actually
contained bignumber.js. This moves bignumber.js internally and removes bignum
from the browser build process. Also adds a bitcore.Bignum that links to the
right thing. In node, browser.Bignum is require('bignum'). And in the browser,
bitcore.Bignum is is now Bignumber.js (same as before ... except bignumber.js
is now inside bitcore).
New things:
* Statistical tests for RNG
* New SecureRandom class that does the right thing on all platforms
* Peer discovery
* Signature sorting in TransactionBuilder
* BIP32 speed improvements
* Electrum-style public key derivation
* Refactor node/browser code
* Message signing/verification the bitcoin way
* Address.fromScriptPubKey
Changes since last version:
* Fix bugs to make bitcore compatible with bitcoin core transaction tests.
* Default to sorting public keys for .createMultisig
The major changes in this version are:
* A new TransactionBuilder class to make it easy to make any kind of
transaction.
* BIP32 - hierarchical deterministic wallets.
* Further progress towards full test coverage and 100% compatibility with
bitcoin core.
