* 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.
