# Release 1.7
* Synchronization waits until transactions have 2 confirmations before
creating new addresses. This makes recovery from seed more robust, but
it might create unwanted gaps if you use Electrum 1.7 together with
older versions of Electrum.
* The Wall has been replaced by an interactive Python console. Wallet
and Blockchain functions can be accessed through it. The goal is to
let users extend Electrum through custom scripts.
* The location of the Electrum folder in Windows changed from LOCALAPPDATA
to APPDATA. Discussion on this topic can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144575.0
* Private keys can be exported from within the classic GUI:
For a single address, use the address menu (right-click).
To export keys for the entire wallet, use the settings dialog (import/export tab).
* It is possible to create, sign and redeem multisig transaction, using the command line interface.
This is made possible by the following new commands:
dumpprivkey, listunspent, createmultisig, createrawtransaction, decoderawtransaction, signrawtransaction
The syntax of these commands is similar to their bitcoind counterpart.
For an example, see Gavin's tutorial: https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/3966071
