* Checkpoints: The initial download of a headers file was replaced
with hardcoded checkpoints. The wallet uses one checkpoint per
retargetting period. The headers for a retargetting period are
retargeting period. The headers for a retargeting period are
downloaded only if transactions need to be verified in this period.
* The 'privacy' and 'priority' coin selection policies have been
merged into one. Previously, the 'privacy' policy has been unusable

between the acquisition and liquidation prices of outgoing coins is
displayed in the wallet history. By default, historical exchange
rates are used to compute acquisition and liquidation prices. These
value can also be entered manually, in order to match the actual
values can also be entered manually, in order to match the actual
price realized by the user. The order of liquidation of coins is
the natural order defined by the blockchain; this results in
capital gain values that are invariant to changes in the set of
addresses that are in the wallet. Any other ordering strategy (such
as FIFO, LIFO) would result in capital gain values that depend on
the set of addresses in the wallet.
* A new version of the Electrum protocol is required by the client
(version 1.2). Servers using older versions of the protocol will
not be displayed in the GUI.
* The Trezor T hardware wallet is now supported.
* BIP84: native segwit p2wpkh scripts for bip39 seeds and hardware
wallets can now be created when specifying a BIP84 derivation
path. This is usable with Trezor and Ledger.
* Windows: the binaries now include ZBar, and QR code scanning should work.
* The Wallet Import Format (WIF) for private keys that was extended in 3.0
is changed. Keys in the previous format can be imported, compatibility
is maintained. Newly exported keys will be serialized as
"script_type:original_wif_format_key".
* BIP32 master keys for testnet once again have different version bytes than
on mainnet. For the mainnet prefixes {x,y,Y,z,Z}|{pub,prv}, the
corresponding testnet prefixes are {t,u,U,v,V}|{pub,prv}.
More details and exact version bytes are specified at:
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-docs/blob/master/xpub_version_bytes.rst
Note that due to this change, testnet wallet files created with previous
versions of Electrum must be considered broken, and they need to be
recreated from seed words.
