# Release 1.9.8
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 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
|
||||||
|
bitcointalk forum. This property allows the client to directly
|
||||||
|
request the balance of any address. The new commands are:
|
||||||
|
1. getaddressbalance <address>
|
||||||
|
2. getaddressunspent <address>
|
||||||
|
3. getutxoaddress <txid> <pos>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* In addition, two commands for message encryption were added:
|
||||||
|
1. encrypt <pubkey> <message>
|
||||||
|
2. decrypt <pubkey> <message>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The encryption algorithm is ECIES, and code was was borrowed from
|
||||||
|
https://github.com/jackjack-jj/jeeq. In order to know the public
|
||||||
|
key corresponding to a Bitcoin address, you can use the 'getpubkeys'
|
||||||
|
command. The 'decrypt' command assumes that the wallet has the
|
||||||
|
private key corresponding to the public key passed as argument.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The encrypt and decrypt functions are available in the Qt GUI (from
|
||||||
|
the menubar, or right click on one of your addresses if you want to
|
||||||
|
use its public key).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Command-line commands that require a connection to the network spawn
|
||||||
|
a daemon, that remains connected and handles subsequent
|
||||||
|
commands. The daemon terminates if it remains unused for more than
|
||||||
|
one minute.
