|
# Release 2.0.4 - Minor GUI improvements
|
|
* The password dialog will ask for password again if the user enters
|
|
a wrong password
|
|
* The Master Public Key dialog displays which keys belong to the
|
|
wallet, and which are cosigners
|
|
* The transaction dialog will ask to save unsaved transaction
|
|
received from cosigner pool, when user clicks on 'Close'
|
|
* The multisig restore dialog accepts xprv keys.
|
|
* The network daemon must be started explicitly before using commands
|
|
that require a connection
|
|
Example:
|
|
electrum daemon start
|
|
electrum getaddressunspent <addr>
|
|
electrum daemon status
|
|
electrum daemon stop
|
|
If a daemon is running, the GUI will use it.
|
|
|
|
# Release 2.0.3 - bugfixes and minor GUI improvements

|
|
NFKD normalized. Trezor users who created a wallet protected by a
|
|
passphrase containing utf-8 characters with diacritics are
|
|
affected. These users will have to open their wallet with version
|
|
2.0 and to move their funds to a new wallet.
|
|
* Use a file socket for the daemon (fixes network dialog issues)
|
|
* Fix crash caused by QR scanner icon when zbar not installed.

|
|
|
|
|
|
# Release 2.0
|
|
|
|
* Before you upgrade, make sure you have saved your wallet seed on
|
|
paper.
|
|
|
|
* Documentation is now hosted on a wiki: http://electrum.orain.org
|
|
|
|
* New seed derivation method (not compatible with BIP39). The seed
|
|
phrase includes a version number, that refers to the wallet
|
|
structure. The version number also serves as a checksum, and it
|
|
will prevent the import of seeds from incompatible wallets. Old
|
|
Electrum seeds are still supported.
|
|
|
|
* New address derivation (BIP32). Standard wallets are single account
|
|
and use a gap limit of 20.
|
|
|
|
* Support for Multisig wallets using parallel BIP32 derivations and
|
|
P2SH addresses ("2 of 2", "2 of 3").
|
|
|
|
* Compact serialization format for unsigned or partially signed
|
|
transactions, that includes the BIP32 master public key and
|
|
derivation needed to sign inputs. Serialized transactions can be
|
|
sent to cosigners or to cold storage using QR codes (using Andreas
|
|
Schildbach's base 43 idea).
|
|
|
|
* Support for BIP70 payment requests:
|
|
- Verification of the chain of signatures uses tlslite.
|
|
- In the GUI, payment requests are shown in the 'Invoices' tab.
|
|
|
|
* Support for hardware wallets: Trezor (Satoshilabs) and Btchip (Ledger).
|
|
|
|
* Two-factor authentication service by TrustedCoin. This service uses
|
|
"2 of 3" multisig wallets and Google Authenticator. Note that
|
|
wallets protected by this service can be deterministically restored
|
|
from seed, without Trustedcoin's server.
|
|
|
|
* Cosigner Pool plugin: encrypted communication channel for multisig
|
|
wallets, to send and receive partially signed transactions.
|
|
|
|
* Audio Modem plugin: send and receive transactions by sound.
|
|
|
|
* OpenAlias plugin: send bitcoins to aliases verified using DNSSEC.
|
|
|
|
* New 'Receive' tab in the GUI:
|
|
- create and manage payment requests, with QR Codes
|
|
- the former 'Receive' tab was renamed to 'Addresses'
|
|
- the former Point of Sale plugin is replaced by a resizeable
|
|
window that pops up if you click on the QR code
|
|
|
|
* The 'Send' tab in the Qt GUI supports transactions with multiple
|
|
outputs, and raw hexadecimal scripts.
|
|
|
|
* The GUI can connect to the Electrum daemon: "electrum -d" will
|
|
start the daemon if it is not already running, and the GUI will
|
|
connect to it. The daemon can serve several clients. It times out
|
|
if no client uses if for more than 5 minutes.
|
|
|
|
* The install wizard can be used to import addresses or private
|
|
keys. A watching-only wallet is created by entering a list of
|
|
addresses in the wizard dialog.
|
|
|
|
* New file format: Wallets files are saved as JSON. Note that new
|
|
wallet files cannot be read by older versions of Electrum. Old
|
|
wallet files will be converted to the new format; this operation
|
|
may take some time, because public keys will be derived for each
|
|
address of your wallet.
|
|
|
|
* The client accepts servers with a CA-signed SSL certificate.
|
|
|
|
* ECIES encrypt/decrypt methods, availabe in the GUI and using
|
|
the command line:
|
|
encrypt <pubkey> <message>
|
|
decrypt <pubkey> <message>
|
|
|
|
* The Android GUI has received various updates and it is much more
|
|
stable. Another script was added to Android, called Authenticator,
|
|
that works completely offline: it reads an unsigned transaction
|
|
shown as QR code, signs it and shows the result as a QR code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Release 1.9.8
|
|
|
|
* Electrum servers were upgraded to version 0.9. The new server stores
|
|
a Patrica tree of all UTXOs, an idea proposed by Alan Reiner in the
|
|
bitcointalk forum. This property allows the client to directly
|
|
request the balance of any address. The new commands are:
|
|
1. getaddressbalance <address>
|
|
2. getaddressunspent <address>
|
|
3. getutxoaddress <txid> <pos>
|
|
|
|
* Command-line commands that require a connection to the network spawn
|
|
a daemon, that remains connected and handles subsequent
|
|
commands. The daemon terminates itself if it remains unused for more
|
|
than one minute. The purpose of this is to make scripting more
|
|
efficient. For example, a bash script using many electrum commands
|
|
will open only one connection.
|
|
|
|
# Release 1.9.7

|
|
|
|
# Release 1.9
|
|
|
|
* The client connects to multiple servers in order to retrieve block headers and find the longest chain
|
|
* SSL certificate validation (to prevent MITM)
|
|
* Deterministic signatures (RFC 6979)
|
|
* Menu to create/restore/open wallets
|
|
* Create transactions with multiple outputs from CSV (comma separated values)
|
|
* New text gui: stdio
|
|
* Plugins are no longer tied to the qt GUI, they can reach all GUIs
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
* Updated the QR Code plugin to enable offline/online wallets to transmit unsigned/signed transactions via QR code.

|
|
|
|
|
|
# Release 1.7.4
|
|
|
|
* Increase default fee
|
|
* fix create and restore in command line
|
|
* fix verify message in the gui
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Release 1.7.3:
|
|
|
|
* Classic GUI can display amounts in mBTC
|
|
* Account selector in the classic GUI
|
|
* Changed the way the portable flag uses without supplying a -w argument
|
|
* Classic GUI asks users to enter their seed on wallet creation
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Release 1.7.2:
|
|
|
|
* Transactions that are in the same block are displayed in chronological order in the history.
|
|
* The client computes transaction priority and rejects zero-fee transactions that need a fee.
|
|
* The default fee was lowered to 200 uBTC per kb.
|
|
* Due to an internal format change, your history may be pruned when
|
|
you open your wallet for the first time after upgrading to 1.7.2. If
|
|
this is the case, please visit a full server to restore your full
|
|
history. You will only need to do that once.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Release 1.7.1: bugfixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Release 1.7
|
|
|
|
* The Classic GUI can be extended with plugins. Developers who want to
|
|
add new features or third-party services to Electrum are invited to
|
|
write plugins. Some previously existing and non-essential features of
|
|
Electrum (point-of-sale mode, qrcode scanner) were removed from the
|
|
core and are now available as plugins.
|
|
|
|
* The wallet waits for 2 confirmations before creating new
|
|
addresses. This makes recovery from seed more robust. Note that it
|
|
might create unwanted gaps if you use Electrum 1.7 together with older
|
|
versions of Electrum.
|
|
|
|
* An interactive Python console replaces the 'Wall' tab. The provided
|
|
python environment gives users access to the wallet and gui. Most
|
|
electrum commands are available as python function in the
|
|
console. Custom scripts an be loaded with a "run(filename)"
|
|
command. Tab-completions are available.
|
|
|
|
* 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 the keys of your 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
|
|
|
|
* Offline wallets now work in a way similar to Armory:
|
|
1. user creates an unsigned transaction using the online (watching-only) wallet.
|
|
2. unsigned transaction is copied to the offline computer, and signed by the offline wallet.
|
|
3. signed transaction is copied to the online computer, broadcasted by the online client.
|
|
4. All these steps can be done via the command line interface or the classic GUI.
|
|
|
|
* Many command line commands have been renamed in order to make the syntax consistent with bitcoind.
|
