* Fixed Offilne mode
* A few other minor bugfixes.
# Release 4.0.4.1
* Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBT, BIP-174) are supported
(#5721). The previous Electrum partial transaction format is no
longer supported, i.e. this is an incompatible change. Users should
make sure that all instances of Electrum they use to co-sign or
offline sign, are updated together.
* Hardware wallets: several fixes in general; notable changes:
- Compatibility with latest Trezor fw (#6064, #6198, #5692)
* Dependencies (see README for install instructions):
- libsecp256k1 is now required (previously optional). python-ecdsa
remains a dependency but it is now only used for DNSSEC.
- Added: either one of pycryptodomex or cryptography is now required,
mainly due to LN (previously pycryptodomex was optional, for fast AES)
- Removed: jsonrpclib-pelix, the JSON-RPC library used for CLI/daemon
* Qt GUI: several changes, notably:
- Separation between output selection and transaction finalization.
- Coin selection moved to the Coins tab, and it affects all txns,
e.g. RBF fee-bumping, LN channel opens, submarine swaps.
- Editable tx preview dialog that allows e.g. changing the locktime
* Android:
- The kivy GUI now supports importing BIP39 seeds
- Each wallet on kivy now can have a separate generic password,
using which the wallet files are encrypted. An optional PIN,
shared among all wallets, can be added to get prompted for spends.
* The API of several CLI/RPC commands have changed, and several new
commands have been introduced (mainly for LN).
* Distributables:
- Apple. Min macOS version is 10.13.
* Transactions:
- we now grind low R for ECDSA signatures to match bitcoind (#5820)
* Lots and lots of other minor bugfixes and improvements.
* Hardware wallets:
- run all device communication on a dedicated thread (#6561).
This should resolve some threading issues.

* BIP39 seeds: if a seed extension (aka passphrase) contained
multiple consecutive whitespaces or leading/trailing whitespaces
then the derived addresses were not following spec. This has been
fixed, and affected should move their coins. The wizard will show a
warning in this case. (#4566)
* Revealer: the PRNG used has been changed (#4649)
* fix Linux distributables: 'typing' was not bundled, needed for python 3.4
* fix #4491: on Android, if user had set "uDASH" as base unit, app crashed

* fix Windows binaries: due to build process changes, the locale files
were not included; the language could not be changed from English
* fix Linux distributables: wordlists were not included (#4475)
# Release 3.2.0
* If present, libsecp256k1 is used to speed up elliptic curve
operations. The library is bundled in the Windows, MacOS, and
Android binaries. On Linux, it needs to be installed separately.
* Two-factor authentication is available on Android. Note that this
will only provide additional security if one time passwords are
generated on a separate device.
* Semi-automated crash reporting is implemented for Android.
* Transactions that are dropped from the mempool are kept in the
wallet as 'local', and can be rebroadcast. Previously these
transactions were deleted from the wallet.
* The scriptSig part of transaction inputs are no longer
parsed, unless actually needed. The wallet will no longer display
'from' addresses corresponding to transaction inputs, except for
its own inputs.
* The partial transaction format has been incompatibly changed. This
was needed as for partial transactions the scriptSig has to
be parsed, but for signed transactions we did not want to do the
parsing. Users should make sure that all instances of Electrum
they use to co-sign or offline sign, are updated together.
* Signing of partial transactions created with online imported
addresses wallets now supports significantly more
setups. Previously only online p2pkh address + offline WIF was
supported. Now the following setups are all supported:
- online p2pkh address + offline WIF,
- online p2pkh address + offline seed/xprv,
- online p2sh-multisig address + offline seeds/xprvs
(potentially distributed among several different machines)
Note that for the online address + offline HD secret case, you need
the offline wallet to recognize the address (i.e. within gap
limit). Having an xpub on the online machine is still the
recommended setup, as this allows the online machine to generate
new addresses on demand.
* Added Revealer plugin. ( https://revealer.cc ) Revealer is a seed
phrase back-up solution. It allows you to create a cold, analog,
multi-factor backup of your wallet seeds, or of any arbitrary
secret. The Revealer utilizes a transparent plastic visual one time
pad.
* Hardware wallets: a "show address" button is now displayed in the
Receive tab of the Qt GUI. (#4316)
* Trezor One: implemented advanced/matrix recovery (#4329)
* Qt/Kivy: added "duff" as optional base unit.
* Kivy GUI: significant performance improvements when displaying
history and address list of large wallets; and transaction dialog
of large transactions.
* Windows: use dnspython to resolve dns instead of socket.getaddrinfo
(#4422)
* Importing minikeys: use uncompressed pubkey instead of compressed
(#4384)
* SPV proofs: check inner nodes not to be valid transactions (#4436)
* Several other minor bugfixes and usability improvements.

* Android: fix some crashes
* performance improvements (wallet, and Qt GUI)
* hardware wallets: show debug message during device scan
* add regtest support (via --regtest flag)

# Release 3.1.2
* Kivy/android: request PIN on startup
* Fix various bugs with hardware wallets
* Other minor bugfixes
# Release 3.1.1
* fix #4031: Trezor T support
* partial fix #4060: proxy and hardware wallet can't be used together
* fix #4039: can't set address labels
* fix crash related to coinbase transactions
* MacOS: use internal graphics card
* fix openalias related crashes
* speed-up capital gains calculations
* hw wallet encryption: re-prompt for passphrase if incorrect
* other minor fixes.
# Release 3.1.0
* Capital gains: For each outgoing transaction, the difference
between the acquisition and liquidation prices of outgoing coins is
displayed in the wallet history. By default, historical exchange
rates are used to compute acquisition and liquidation prices. These
values can also be entered manually, in order to match the actual
price realized by the user. The order of liquidation of coins is
the natural order defined by the blockchain; this results in
capital gain values that are invariant to changes in the set of
addresses that are in the wallet. Any other ordering strategy (such
as FIFO, LIFO) would result in capital gain values that depend on
the presence of other addresses in the wallet.
* Local transactions: Transactions can be saved in the wallet without
being broadcast. The inputs of local transactions are considered as
spent, and their change outputs can be re-used in subsequent
transactions. This can be combined with cold storage, in order to
create several transactions before broadcasting them. Outgoing
transactions that have been removed from the memory pool are also
saved in the wallet, and can be broadcast again.
* Checkpoints: The initial download of a headers file was replaced
with hardcoded checkpoints. The wallet uses one checkpoint per
retargeting period. The headers for a retargeting period are
downloaded only if transactions need to be verified in this period.
* The 'privacy' and 'priority' coin selection policies have been
merged into one. Previously, the 'privacy' policy has been unusable
because it was was not prioritizing confirmed coins. The new policy
is similar to 'privacy', except that it de-prioritizes addresses
that have unconfirmed coins.
* The 'Send' tab of the Qt GUI displays how transaction fees are
computed from transaction size.
* The wallet history can be filtered by time interval.
* Watching-only wallets and hardware wallets can be encrypted.
* Semi-automated crash reporting
* The SSL checkbox option was removed from the GUI.
* The Trezor T hardware wallet is now supported.
* Windows: the binaries now include ZBar, and QR code scanning should work.
* The Wallet Import Format (WIF) for private keys that was extended in 3.0
is changed. Keys in the previous format can be imported, compatibility
is maintained. Newly exported keys will be serialized as
"script_type:original_wif_format_key".
* A new version of the Electrum protocol is required by the client
(version 1.2). Servers using older versions of the protocol will
not be displayed in the GUI.

* JSONRPC commands are disabled if the GUI is running, except 'ping',
which is used to determine if a GUI is already running
# Release 3.0.4 : (Security update)
* Fix a vulnerability caused by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
in the JSONRPC interface. Previous versions of Electrum are
vulnerable to port scanning and deanonimization attacks from

* minor bug and usability fixes
# Release 3.0 - Uncanny Valley (November 1st, 2017)
* The project was migrated to Python3 and Qt5. Python2 is no longer
supported. If you cloned the source repository, you will need to
run "python3 setup.py install" in order to install the new
dependencies.
* A new version of the Electrum protocol is required by the client
(version 1.1). Servers using older versions of the protocol will
not be displayed in the GUI.
* By default, transactions are time-locked to the height of the
current block. Other values of locktime may be passed using the
command line.
# Release 2.9.4 (security update)
* Incorporate electrum 2.9.4 changes
# Release 2.9.3.2 (Security update)

which is used to determine if a GUI is already running
* Fix hardware wallets supoort for Windows/OSX builds
# Release 2.9.3.1 (Security update)
* Fix a vulnerability caused by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
in the JSONRPC interface. Previous versions of Electrum are
vulnerable to port scanning and deanonimization attacks from
malicious websites. Wallets that are not password-protected are
vulnerable to theft.
# Release 2.9.3

# 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.
* 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

* fix Digital Bitbox plugin
* fix daemon jsonrpc
* fix trustedcoin wallet creation
* other minor bugfixes
# Release 2.8.0 (March 9, 2017)
* Wallet file encryption using ECIES: A keypair is derived from the
wallet password. Once the wallet is decrypted, only the public key
is retained in memory, in order to save the encrypted file.
* The daemon requires wallets to be explicitly loaded before
commands can use them. Wallets can be loaded using: 'electrum
daemon load_wallet [-w path]'. This command will require a
password if the wallet is encrypted.
* Invoices and contacts are stored in the wallet file and are no
longer shared between wallets. Previously created invoices and
contacts files may be imported from the menu.
* Fees improvements:
- Dynamic fees are enabled by default.
* Support for Digital Bitbox hardware wallet.
* The GUI shows a blue icon when connected using a proxy.

# Release 2.7.15
* Use fee slider for both static and dynamic fees.
* Simplify fee preferences.
* Critical: Fix password update issue (#2097). This bug prevents
password updates in multisig and 2FA wallets. It may also cause
wallet corruption if the wallet contains several master private
keys (such as 2FA wallets that have been restored from
seed). Affected wallets will need to be restored again.

* Fixes a critical bug with imported private keys (issue #1966). Keys
imported in Electrum 2.7.x were not encrypted, even if the wallet
had a password. If you imported private keys using Electrum 2.7.x,
you will need to import those keys again. If you imported keys in
2.6 and converted with 2.7.x, you don't need to do anything, but
you still need to upgrade in order to be able to spend.
* Wizard: Hide seed options in a popup dialog.
# Release 2.7.5
* Add number of confirmations to request status. (issue #1757)
* In the GUI, refer to passphrase as 'seed extension'.

# Release 2.7.1
* fix wizard crash with old seeds
* fix issue #1948: fee slider
# Release 2.7.0 (Oct 2 2016)
* The wallet file format has been upgraded. This upgrade is not
backward compatible, which means that a wallet upgraded to the 2.7
format will not be readable by earlier versions of
Electrum. Multiple accounts inside the same wallet are not
supported in the new format; the Qt GUI will propose to split any
wallet that has several accounts. Make sure that you have saved
your seed phrase before you upgrade Electrum.
* This version introduces a separation between wallets types and
keystores types. 'Wallet type' defines the type of Bitcoin contract
used in the wallet, while 'keystore type' refers to the method used
to store private keys. Therefore, so-called 'hardware wallets' will
be referred to as 'hardware keystores'.
* Hardware keystores:
- The Ledger Nano S is supported.
- Hardware keystores can be used as cosigners in multi-signature
