Notable changes
===============
zcash-cli: arguments privacy
----------------------------
The RPC command line client gained a new argument, `-stdin`
to read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl-D.
For example:
$ src/zcash-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
mysecretcode
120
^D (Ctrl-D)
It is recommended to use this for sensitive information such as private keys, as
command-line arguments can usually be read from the process table by any user on
the system.
Asm representations of scriptSig signatures now contain SIGHASH type decodes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The `asm` property of each scriptSig now contains the decoded signature hash
type for each signature that provides a valid defined hash type.
The following items contain assembly representations of scriptSig signatures
and are affected by this change:
- RPC `getrawtransaction`
- RPC `decoderawtransaction`
- REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format)
- REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details)
- `zcash-tx -json`
For example, the `scriptSig.asm` property of a transaction input that
previously showed an assembly representation of:
304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c509001
now shows as:
304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c5090[ALL]
Note that the output of the RPC `decodescript` did not change because it is
configured specifically to process scriptPubKey and not scriptSig scripts.
