=========== ChangeLog =========== .. note:: It is strongly recommended you upgrade to Python 3.7, which fixes bugs in asyncio that caused an ever-growing open file count and memory consumption whilst serving clients. Those problems should not occur with Python 3.7. Version 1.6 =========== * implement :ref:`version 1.4` of the protocol, with benefit for light clients, particularly mobile Version 1.5.2 ============= * package renamed from elctrumX-kyuupichan to electrumX * split merkle logic out into lib/merkle.py * fix `#523`_ for daemons based on older releases of core Version 1.5.1 ============= Fixes a couple of issues found in 1.5 after release: * update peer discovery code for :ref:`version 1.3` of the protocol * setup.py would not run in a clean environment (e.g. virtualenv) * logging via aiorpcX didn't work with the logging hierarchy updates * log Python interpreter version on startup Version 1.5 =========== .. note:: The two main scripts, :file:`electrumx_server` and :file:`electrumx_rpc` were renamed to drop the `.py` suffix. You will probably need to update your run script accordingly. * support :ref:`version 1.3` of the protocol * increase minimum supported protocol version to :ref:`version 1.1` * split out history handling in preparation for new DB format * force close stubborn connections that refuse to close gracefully * RPC getinfo returns server version (erasmospunk) * add new masternode methods; document them all (elmora-do) * make electrumx a Python package (eukreign) * hierarchical logging, Env to take a coin class directly, server_listening event (eukreign) * decred coin removed as mainnet does not sync * issues fixed: `#414`_, `#443`_, `#455`_, `#480`_, `#485`_, `#502`_, `#506`_, `#519`_ (wakiyamap) * new or updated coins: Feathercoin (lclc), NewYorkCoin Testnet(nicovs), BitZeny (wakiyamap), UFO (bushstar), GAME (cipig), MAC (nico205), Xuez (ddude), ZCash (wo01), PAC (elmora-do), Koto Testnet (wo01), Dash Testnet (ser), BTG all nets (wilsonmeier), Polis + ColossusXT + GoByte + Monoeci (cronos-polis), BitcoinCash Regtest (eukreign) * minor tweaks: romanz, you21979, SuBPaR42, sangaman, wakiyamap, DaShak Version 1.4.3 ============= * Fix `#442`_. Version 1.4.2 ============= * proxy remote IP reported properly if :envvar:`FORCE_PROXY` is set. Fixes `#301`_. * requires aiorpcx 0.5.5 Version 1.4.1 ============= * minor bugfixes - cleaner shutdown; group handling * set PROTOCOL_MIN to 1.0; this will prevent 2.9.x clients from connecting and encourage upgrades to more recent clients without the security hole * requires aiorpcx 0.5.4 Version 1.4 =========== * switch to `aiorpcX `_ for all networking, ``JSON RPC`` and proxy handling * proxy detection improvements * `documentation `_ rewrite * new environment variable :envvar:`LOG_FORMAT` to control logging format * new environment variable :envvar:`DROP_CLIENT` to cut off unsupported client software * coin updates: Litecoin (pooler), bitbayd (kongeo), BTG (wilsonmeier), danny91, wakiyamap, snowgem, Dash (theLazier), fujicoin * new coins: Decred (cipherzzz), axe (-k), * typo fixes (dax, romanz) .. note:: the Dash-specific undocumented ``masternode.subscribe()`` RPC call was not following the JSON RPC spec; this was shown up by the switch to aiorpcX. I had to modify the code but it may break Dash clients. The Decred implementation doesn't work on mainnet; I will remove it if this remains unfixed. Version 1.3 =========== * Switch to :ref:`version 1.2` of the protocol. :func:`mempool.get_fee_histogram` implementation contributed by ecdsa, verbose mode of :func:`blockchain.transaction.get` by gdassori. * :func:`blockchain.scripthash.listunspent` now takes into account mempool spends and receipts. * Improved client notification handling. * Wait for mempool to fully sync before serving. * Documentation moved to `readthedocs.io `_. Rewritten and improved protocol documentation. * new/updated coins: Chips (cipig), Feathercoin (lclc), Zclassic(heyrhett), Dash (thelazier), NYC (xarakas), Koto (wo01), BitcoinZ (cipig), BitCore (cipig), Fujicoin (fujicoin), Bitcoin Atom (erasmospunk), Deanrius (carsenk), SNG (blackjok3rtt). * Minor fixes and improvements: duckartes, blin00, bauerj, erasmospunk, SomberNight, romanz. Version 1.2.1 ============= - remove IRC support. Most coins had empty IRC channels. Those that don't have peers populated. - use estimatesmartfee RPC call if available (SomberNight) - new/updated coins: Emercoin (Sergii Vakula), Bitcoin Gold (erasmospunk), Monacoin testnet (Wakiyama P), sibcoin (53r63rn4r), Komodo and Monaize (cipig), Hush (Duke Leto) - doc updates (fr3aker) - issues fixed: `#302`_ Version 1.2 =========== .. note:: version 1.2 changes script hash indexing in the database, so you will need to rebuild your databases from scratch. Running this version will refuse to open the DB and not corrupt it, so you can revert to 1.1.x if you wish. The initial synchronisation process should be around 10-15% faster than 1.1, owing to this change and Justin Arthur's optimisations from 1.1.1. - separate P2PKH from P2PK entries in the history and UTXO databases. These were previously amalgamated by address as that is what electrum-server used to do. However Electrum didn't handle P2PK spends correctly and now the protocol admits subscriptions by script hash there is no need to have these merged any more.
