Electron Cash 4.4.5 with CashFusion, CashTokens, and RPA

This is minor release of Electron Cash. It contains various small fixes and corrections. Most notable is the transaction deserialization fixes from #3218 which make Electron Cash fully compatible with the May 15 2026 upgrade.

Electron Cash 4.3.1 with CashFusion and CashTokens

This is bugfix release of Electron Cash. It contains a highly recommended fix for a bad interactions between CashToken-containing UTXOs and CashFusion. Your tokens are safe, they cannot be burned -- however in some cases CashFusion would "see" CashToken-containing UTXOs and submit them for fusions. They would fail to be signed correctly, of course, so nothing could be lost, but it could lead to a potential situation of many failed fusions. This has been fixed! Additionally, a performance fix was added such that opening wallets is faster now than in 4.3.0. As such, it is highly recommended that all users of Electron Cash 4.3.0 upgrade as soon as possible to this release!

What's New in 4.3.1

• Added a performance fix for a situation which led to pessimization/slowdown when opening wallets in some cases (cculianu)
• Added a fix where CashFusion was "seeing" token-containing UTXOs. Not normally an issue but if they have significant funds on them, this could cause fusions to fail (cculianu).
• Fixed a typo: "Cateogry" -> "Category" ##2617 (7e378be)
• Fix for exoteric bug/problem on Python 3.11 in some rare cases.
