When starting + a new GUI electrum instance, that instance starts a daemon if there is + none running. Otherwise it connects to the running daemon and sends the + it information to open a window in the daemon's process, and the new + instance then terminates. + * With the daemon changes, network and network proxy code could be unified. + This should improve the robustness of electrum's networking. + * Networking was rewritten to multiplex use select(), so all server + communication is handled by a single thread rather than a thread + per server connection. Moreover, the synchronizer, verifier, and + exchange rate plugin now run as separate jobs within the networking + thread instead of as their own threads. The elimination of so many + threads should lead to reduced lock contention and CPU usage. + * Various bugfixes. + # Release 2.4.4 * fix bug with trustedcoin plugin
