# Release 1.7
* The wallet does not create new addresses until transactions have 2
confirmations. This makes recovery from seed more robust. Note that it
* 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. Custom
scripts an be loaded with a "run(filename)" command. Tab-completions
are available.

* 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 do not need to be resynchronized in order to sign a transaction.
For this, use 'signrawtransaction'. ('signtx' is deprecated').
See the help in docs/offline_wallets
* 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.
* Many command line commands have been renamed in order to make the syntax consistent with bitcoind.
