# Release 2.0
|
||||
|
||||
* New address derivation (BIP32).
|
||||
* Before you upgrade, make sure you have saved your wallet seed on
|
||||
paper.
|
||||
|
||||
* New seed phrase format: 8 bits of the seed phrase are used to store
|
||||
a version number. The current version number (0x01) refers to the
|
||||
default wallet structure. The version number also serves as a
|
||||
checksum for the seed, and it will prevent the import of seeds from
|
||||
incompatible wallets.
|
||||
* Documentation is now hosted on a wiki: http://electrum.orain.org
|
||||
|
||||
* Compact serialization format for unsigned or partially signed
|
||||
transactions, that includes the master public key and derivation
|
||||
needed to sign inputs. This allows to send partially signed
|
||||
transactions using QR codes
|
||||
* New seed derivation method (not compatible with BIP39). The seed
|
||||
phrase includes a version number, that refers to the wallet
|
||||
structure. The version number also serves as a checksum, and it
|
||||
will prevent the import of seeds from incompatible wallets. Old
|
||||
Electrum seeds are still supported.
|
||||
|
||||
* Deterministic Multisig wallets using parallel BIP32 derivations and
|
||||
* New address derivation (BIP32). Standard wallets are single account
|
||||
and use a gap limit of 20.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for Multisig wallets using parallel BIP32 derivations and
|
||||
P2SH addresses (2 of 2, 2 of 3).
|
||||
|
||||
* New plugins:
|
||||
- TrustedCoin: two-factor authentication using 2 of 3 multisig and
|
||||
Google Authenticator
|
||||
- Trezor: support for the Trezor hardware wallet by SatoshiLabs
|
||||
- Cosigner Pool: encrypted communication channel for multisig
|
||||
wallets, to send and receive partially signed transactions
|
||||
- Audio Modem: send and receive transactions by sound
|
||||
- OpenAlias: pay to openalias addresses
|
||||
* Compact serialization format for unsigned or partially signed
|
||||
transactions, that includes the BIP32 master public key and
|
||||
derivation needed to sign inputs. Serialized transactions can be
|
||||
sent to cosigners or to cold storage using QR codes.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for BIP70: payment requests
|
||||
- Verification of the signature chain uses tlslite.
|
||||
* Support for BIP70 payment requests:
|
||||
- Verification of the chain of signatures uses tlslite.
|
||||
- In the GUI, payment requests are shown in the 'Invoices' tab.
|
||||
|
||||
* New 'Receive' tab:
|
||||
* Two-factor authentication plugin using TrustedCoin's cosigning
|
||||
service. It uses 2 of 3 multisig wallets and Google
|
||||
Authenticator. These wallets can be deterministically restored from
|
||||
seed without Trustedcoin's server.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for hardware wallets: Trezor (Satoshilabs) and Btchip (Ledger).
|
||||
|
||||
* Cosigner Pool plugin: encrypted communication channel for multisig
|
||||
wallets, to send and receive partially signed transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Audio Modem plugin : send and receive transactions by sound
|
||||
|
||||
* OpenAlias plugin: send bitcoins to aliases verified using DNSSEC
|
||||
|
||||
* New 'Receive' tab in the GUI:
|
||||
- create and manage payment requests, with QR Codes
|
||||
- the former Receive tab was renamed to 'Addresses'
|
||||
- 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

|
|||
* More watching-only functionality: Create wallets to monitor any
|
||||
address of choice by entering a list of addresses in the install wizard
|
||||
|
||||
* Wallet files are saved as JSON instead of Python.
|
||||
* New file format: Wallets files are saved as JSON. Note that new
|
||||
wallet files cannot be read by older versions of Electrum. Old
|
||||
wallet files will be converted to the new format; this operation
|
||||
may take some time, because public keys will be derived for each
|
||||
address of your wallet.
|
||||
|
||||
* Client supports servers with SSL certificates signed by a CA.
|
||||
|
||||
* Documentation is now hosted on a wiki: http://electrum.orain.org
|
||||
* The SSL certificate of Electrum servers can be signed by a CA.
|

|

* ECIES encrypt/decrypt methods, availabe in the GUI and using the

command line:
