# Release 2.0
|
||||
|
||||
* New address derivation (BIP39 + BIP32 + BIP44).
|
||||
|
||||
* 8 bits of the seed phrase are used to store a version number. The
|
||||
current version number (0x01) refers to the current wallet
|
||||
structure (BIP44). The version number also serves as a checksum for
|
||||
the seed, and it will prevent the import of seeds from incompatible
|
||||
wallets.
|
||||
|
||||
* New serialization format for unsigned or partially signed
|
||||
transactions, that includes the master public key and derivation
|
||||
needed to sign inputs. This new format is compact enough to
|
||||
send transactions to cold storage using QR codes
|
||||
|
||||
* Deterministic Multisig wallets using parallel BIP32 derivations and
|
||||
P2SH addresses (2 of 2, 2 of 3).
|
||||
|
||||
* New plugins:
|
||||
- Trezor: support for the Trezor hardware wallet by SatoshiLabs
|
||||
- Cosigner Pool: shared memory pool for partially signed transactions
|
||||
|
||||
* BIP70: verification of signed payment requests
|
||||
- Verification is pure python, using tlslite.
|
||||
- In the GUI, payment requests are in the 'Invoices' tab.
|
||||
|
||||
* New 'Receive' tab:
|
||||
- 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 with OP_RETURN "message"
|
||||
|
||||
* The GUI can use the daemon: "electrum -d". The daemon can serve
|
||||
several clients. It times out if no client uses if for more than 5
|
||||
minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
* Wallet files are saved as JSON instead of Python.
|
||||
|
||||
* Documentation is now hosted on a wiki: http://electrum.orain.org

# Release 1.9.8
|
||||
(This release includes features initially planned for version 2.0)
|
||||
|
||||
* 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
