# Release 2.9 - Independence
|
||||
* Blockchain fork detection and management:
|
||||
- The SPV module will download and verify block headers from
|
||||
multiple branches
|
||||
- Branching points are located using binary search
|
||||
- The desired branch of a fork can be selected using the network dialog
|
||||
# Release 2.9 - Independence (July 27th, 2017)
|
||||
* Multiple Chain Validation: Electrum will download and validate
|
||||
block headers sent by servers that may follow different branches
|
||||
of a fork in the Bitcoin blockchain. Instead of a linear sequence,
|
||||
block headers are organized in a tree structure. Branching points
|
||||
are located efficiently using binary search. The purpose of MCV is
|
||||
to detect and handle blockchain forks that are invisible to the
|
||||
classical SPV model.
|
||||
* The desired branch of a blockchain fork can be selected using the
|
||||
network dialog. Branches are identified by the hash and height of
|
||||
the diverging block. Coin splitting is possible using RBF
|
||||
transaction (a tutorial will be added).
|
||||
* Multibit support: If the user enters a BIP39 seed (or uses a
|
||||
hardware wallet), the full derivation path is configurable in the
|
||||
install wizard.
|
||||
* Option to send only confirmed coins
|
||||
* Qt GUI:
|
||||
- Network dialog uses tabs and gets updated by network events.
|
||||
- The gui tabs use icons
|
||||
* Kivy GUI:
|
||||
- separation between network dialog and wallet settings dialog.
|
||||
- option for manual server entry
|
||||
- proxy configuration
|
||||
* Daemon: The wallet password can be passed as parameter to the
|
||||
JSONRPC API.
|
||||
* Various other bugfixes and improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Release 2.8.3
|
||||
* Fix crash on reading older wallet formats.
