Release 3.3.8 - (Jan 3, 2019)

  • fix some bugs with recent bump fee (RBF) improvements (#5483, #5502)

  • fix #5491: watch-only wallets could not bump fee in some cases

  • appimage: URLs could not be opened on some desktop environments (#5425)

  • faster tx signing for segwit inputs for really large txns (#5494)

  • A few other minor bugfixes and usability improvements.

  • The AppImage Linux x86_64 binary and the Windows setup.exe
    (so now all Windows binaries) are now built reproducibly.

  • Bump fee (RBF) improvements:
    Implemented a new fee-bump strategy that can add new inputs,
    so now any tx can be fee-bumped (d0a4366). The old strategy
    was to decrease the value of outputs (starting with change).
    We will now try the new strategy first, and only use the old
    as a fallback (needed e.g. when spending "Max").

  • CoinChooser improvements:

    • more likely to construct txs without change (when possible)
    • less likely to construct txs with really small change (e864fa5)
    • will now only spend negative effective value coins when
      beneficial for privacy (cb69aa8)
  • fix long-standing bug that broke wallets with >65k addresses (#5366)

  • Windows binaries: we now build the PyInstaller boot loader ourselves,
    as this seems to reduce anti-virus false positives (1d0f679)

  • Android: (fix) BIP70 payment requests could not be paid (#5376)

  • Android: allow copy-pasting partial transactions from/to clipboard

  • Fix a performance regression for large wallets (c6a54f0)

  • Qt: fix some high DPI issues related to text fields (37809be)

  • Trezor:

    • allow bypassing "too old firmware" error (#5391)
    • use only the Bridge to scan devices if it is available (#5420)
  • hw wallets: (known issue) on Win10-1903, some hw devices
    (that also have U2F functionality) can only be detected with
    Administrator privileges. (see #5420 and #5437)
    A workaround is to run as Admin, or for Trezor to install the Bridge.

  • Several other minor bugfixes and usability improvements.

  • qt: fix crash during 2FA wallet creation (#5334)

  • fix synchronizer not to keep resubscribing to addresses of
    already closed wallets (e415c0d)

  • fix removing addresses/keys from imported wallets (#4481)

  • kivy: fix crash when aborting 2FA wallet creation (#5333)

  • kivy: fix rare crash when changing exchange rate settings (#5329)

  • A few other minor bugfixes and usability improvements.

  • The logging system has been overhauled (#5296).
    Logs can now also optionally be written to disk, disabled by default.

  • Fix a bug in synchronizer (#5122) where client could get stuck.
    Also, show the progress of history sync in the GUI. (#5319)

  • fix Revealer in Windows and MacOS binaries (#5027)

  • fiat rate providers:

    • added CoinGecko.com and CoinCap.io
    • BitcoinAverage now only provides historical exchange rates for
      paying customers. Changed default provider to CoinGecko.com (#5188)
  • hardware wallets:

    • Ledger: Nano X is now recognized (#5140)
    • KeepKey:
      • device was not getting detected using Windows binary (#5165)
      • support firmware 6.0.0+ (#5205)
    • Trezor: implemented "seedless" mode (#5118)
  • Coin Control in Qt: implemented freezing individual UTXOs
    in addition to freezing addresses (#5152)

  • TrustedCoin (2FA wallets):

    • better error messages (#5184)
    • longer signing timeout (#5221)
  • Kivy:

    • fix bug with local transactions (#5156)
    • allow selecting fiat rate providers without historical data (#5162)
  • fix CPFP: the fees already paid by the parent were not included in
    the calculation, so it always overestimated (#5244)

  • Testnet: there is now a warning when the client is started in
    testnet mode as there were a number of reports of users getting
    scammed through social engineering (#5295)

  • CoinChooser: performance of creating transactions has been improved
    significantly for large wallets. (d56917f)

  • Importing/sweeping WIF keys: stricter checks (#4638, #5290)

  • Electrum protocol: the client's "user agent" has been changed from
    "3.3.5" to "electrum/3.3.5". Other libraries connecting to servers
    can consider not "spoofing" to be Electrum. (#5246)

  • Several other minor bugfixes and usability improvements

Hodler's Edition (January 21, 2019)

  • Fix Qt history export bug
  • Improve network timeouts
  • Prepend server transaction_broadcast error messages with
    explanatory message. Render error messages as plain text.
  • The network layer has been rewritten using asyncio and aiorpcx.
    In addition to easier maintenance, this makes the client
    more robust against misbehaving servers.
  • The minimum python version was increased to 3.6
  • The blockchain headers and fork handling logic has been generalized.
    Clients by default now follow chain based on most work, not length.
  • New wallet creation defaults to native segwit (bech32).
  • Segwit 2FA: TrustedCoin now supports native segwit p2wsh
    two-factor wallets.
  • RBF batching (opt-in): If the wallet has an unconfirmed RBF
    transaction, new payments will be added to that transaction,
    instead of creating new transactions.
  • fix viacoin URI handling when app already running (#4796)
  • Qt listings rewritten:
    the History tab now uses QAbstractItemModel, the other tabs use
    QStandardItemModel. Performance should be better for large wallets.
  • Several other minor bugfixes and usability improvements.
  • Revealer: the PRNG used has been changed (#4649)
  • Fix DNS resolution on Windows
  • Fix websocket bug in daemon

Release 3.2.2 - Satoshi's Vision (September 4, 2018)

  • Fix DNS resolution on Windows

  • Fix websocket bug in daemon

  • 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)

  • 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 and witness 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/witness 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, p2wpkh-p2sh, p2wpkh} address + offline WIF,
    • online {p2pkh, p2wpkh-p2sh, p2wpkh} address + offline seed/xprv,
    • online {p2sh, p2wsh-p2sh, p2wsh}-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.
  • Segwit multisig for bip39 and hardware wallets is now enabled.
    (both p2wsh-p2sh and native p2wsh)

  • Ledger: offline signing for segwit inputs (#3302) This has already
    worked for Trezor and Digital Bitbox. Offline segwit signing can be
    combined with online imported addresses wallets.

  • 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.

  • Fractional fee rates: the Qt GUI now displays fee rates with 0.1
    sat/byte precision, and also allows this same resolution in the
    Send tab.

  • 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 "sat" 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)

  • Qt GUI: there is now an optional "dark" theme (#4461)

  • Several other minor bugfixes and usability improvements.

Release 3.1 - (March 14, 2018)

  • Memory-pool based fee estimation. Dynamic fees can target a desired
    depth in the memory pool. This feature is optional, and ETA-based
    estimates from Viacoin Core are still available. Note that miners
    could exploit this feature, if they conspired and filled the memory
    pool with expensive transactions that never get mined. However,
    since the Electrum client already trusts an Electrum server with
    fee estimates, activating this feature does not introduce any new
    vulnerability. In addition, the client uses a hard threshold to
    protect itself from servers sending excessive fee estimates. In
    practice, ETA-based estimates have resulted in sticky fees, and
    caused many users to overpay for transactions. Advanced users tend
    to visit (and trust) websites that display memory-pool data in
    order to set their fees.
  • 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.
  • Replace-by-fee is enabled by default. Note that this might cause
    some issues with wallets that do not display RBF transactions until
    they are confirmed.
  • 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.
  • BIP84: native segwit p2wpkh scripts for bip39 seeds and hardware
    wallets can now be created when specifying a BIP84 derivation
    path. This is usable with Trezor and Ledger.
  • 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".
  • BIP32 master keys for testnet once again have different version bytes than
    on mainnet. For the mainnet prefixes {x,y,Y,z,Z}|{pub,prv}, the
    corresponding testnet prefixes are {t,u,U,v,V}|{pub,prv}.
    More details and exact version bytes are specified at:
    https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-docs/blob/master/xpub_version_bytes.rst
    Note that due to this change, testnet wallet files created with previous
    versions of Electrum must be considered broken, and they need to be
    recreated from seed words.
  • 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.

Before you upgrade, make sure you have saved your wallet seed on paper. You can use https://coinomi.com for importing your seed/privkeys

Release 3.0.5 : (Security update)

This is a follow-up to the 3.0.4 release, which did not completely fix
issue #3374. Users should upgrade to 3.0.5.

  • The JSONRPC interface is password protected
  • 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
    malicious websites. Wallets that are not password-protected are
    vulnerable to theft.
  • Bundle QR scanner with Android app
  • Minor bug fixes

Release 3.0.3

  • Qt GUI: sweeping now uses the Send tab, allowing fees to be set
  • Windows: if using the installer binary, there is now a separate shortcut
    for "Electrum Testnet"
  • Digital Bitbox: added suport for p2sh-segwit
  • OS notifications for incoming transactions
  • better transaction size estimation:
    • fees for segwit txns were somewhat underestimated (#3347)
    • some multisig txns were underestimated
    • handle uncompressed pubkeys
  • fix #3321: testnet for Windows binaries
  • fix #3264: Ledger/dbb signing on some platforms
  • fix #3407: KeepKey sending to p2sh output
  • other minor fixes and usability improvements

Release 3.0.2

  • sweeping minikeys: search for both compressed and uncompressed
    pubkeys
  • fix wizard crash when attempting to reset Google Authenticator
  • fix #3248: fix Ledger+segwit signing
  • fix #3262: fix SSL payment request signing
  • other minor 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.

  • Segwit support:

    • Native segwit scripts are supported using a new type of
      seed. The version number for segwit seeds is 0x100. The install
      wizard will not create segwit seeds by default; users must
      opt-in with the segwit option.

    • Native segwit scripts are represented using bech32 addresses,
      following BIP173. Please note that BIP173 is still in draft
      status, and that other wallets/websites may not support
      it. Thus, you should keep a non-segwit wallet in order to be
      able to receive bitcoins during the transition period. If BIP173
      ends up being rejected or substantially modified, your wallet
      may have to be restored from seed. This will not affect funds
      sent to bech32 addresses, and it will not affect the capacity of
      Vialectrum to spend these funds.

    • Segwit scripts embedded in p2sh are supported with hardware
      wallets or bip39 seeds. To create a segwit-in-p2sh wallet,
      trezor/ledger users will need to enter a BIP49 derivation path.

    • The BIP32 master keys of segwit wallets are serialized using new
      version numbers. The new version numbers encode the script type,
      and they result in the following prefixes:

      • xpub/xprv : p2pkh or p2sh
      • ypub/yprv : p2wpkh-in-p2sh
      • Ypub/Yprv : p2wsh-in-p2sh
      • zpub/zprv : p2wpkh
      • Zpub/Zprv : p2wsh

      These values are identical for mainnet and testnet; tpub/tprv
      prefixes are no longer used in testnet wallets.

    • The Wallet Import Format (WIF) is similarly extended for segwit
      scripts. After a base58-encoded key is decoded to binary, its
      first byte encodes the script type.

      The distinction between p2sh and p2pkh in private key means that
      it is not possible to import a p2sh private key and associate it
      to a p2pkh address.

  • A new version of the Vialectrum 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.
