The release\nnotes are a bit dense, due to the large amount of changes and new\nfeatures in this release. In the coming weeks we will be adding more\ndetailed documentation to the wiki and to the website.\n\nThere has been a very long hiatus in Electrum releases, because it\ntook me a lot of time to decide about the new seed derivation method\nand wallet structure. Now that this part is done, I hope that we will\nresume to a faster release pace.\n\nI would like to thank all the people who contributed to this release,\ndevelopers, beta testers, but also people from this list who provided\nuseful feedback.\n\nCheers,\n\nThomas\n\n_____________________________\n\nRELEASE-NOTES\n\n# Release 2.0\n\n* Before you upgrade, make sure you have saved your wallet seed on\npaper.\n\n* Documentation is now hosted on a wiki: http://electrum.orain.org\n\n* New seed derivation method (not compatible with BIP39). The seed\nphrase includes a version number, that refers to the wallet\nstructure. The version number also serves as a checksum, and it\nwill prevent the import of seeds from incompatible wallets. Old\nElectrum seeds are still supported.\n\n* New address derivation (BIP32). Standard wallets are single account\nand use a gap limit of 20.\n\n* Support for Multisig wallets using parallel BIP32 derivations and\nP2SH addresses (\"2 of 2\", \"2 of 3\").\n\n* Compact serialization format for unsigned or partially signed\ntransactions, that includes the BIP32 master public key and\nderivation needed to sign inputs. Serialized transactions can be\nsent to cosigners or to cold storage using QR codes (using Andreas\nSchildbach's base 43 idea).\n\n* Support for BIP70 payment requests:\n- - Verification of the chain of signatures uses tlslite.\n- - In the GUI, payment requests are shown in the 'Invoices' tab.\n\n* Support for hardware wallets: Trezor (Satoshilabs) and Btchip (Ledger).\n\n* Two-factor authentication service by TrustedCoin. This service uses\n\"2 of 3\" multisig wallets and Google Authenticator. Note that\nwallets protected by this service can be deterministically restored\nfrom seed, without Trustedcoin's server.\n\n* Cosigner Pool plugin: encrypted communication channel for multisig\nwallets, to send and receive partially signed transactions.\n\n* Audio Modem plugin: send and receive transactions by sound.\n\n* OpenAlias plugin: send bitcoins to aliases verified using DNSSEC.\n\n* New 'Receive' tab in the GUI:\n- - create and manage payment requests, with QR Codes\n- - the former 'Receive' tab was renamed to 'Addresses'\n- - the former Point of Sale plugin is replaced by a resizeable\nwindow that pops up if you click on the QR code\n\n* The 'Send' tab in the Qt GUI supports transactions with multiple\noutputs, and raw hexadecimal scripts.\n\n* The GUI can connect to the Electrum daemon: \"electrum -d\" will\nstart the daemon if it is not already running, and the GUI will\nconnect to it. The daemon can serve several clients. It times out\nif no client uses if for more than 5 minutes.\n\n* The install wizard can be used to import addresses or private\nkeys. A watching-only wallet is created by entering a list of\naddresses in the wizard dialog.\n\n* New file format: Wallets files are saved as JSON. Note that new\nwallet files cannot be read by older versions of Electrum. Old\nwallet files will be converted to the new format; this operation\nmay take some time, because public keys will be derived for each\naddress of your wallet.\n\n* The client accepts servers with a CA-signed SSL certificate.\n\n* ECIES encrypt/decrypt methods, availabe in the GUI and using\nthe command line:\nencrypt \u003cpubkey\u003e \u003cmessage\u003e\ndecrypt \u003cpubkey\u003e \u003cmessage\u003e\n\n* The Android GUI has received various updates and it is much more\nstable. Another script was added to Android, called Authenticator,\nthat works completely offline: it reads an unsigned transaction\nshown as QR code, signs it and shows the result as a QR code.\n-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----\nVersion: GnuPG v1\n\niQIcBAEBAgAGBQJU8y7fAAoJECvVgkt/lHDm78oP/2uIqCyOwLsAJGkAI3CPFxtw\nWssFJlnCnFiA4tPv5pd7HdOgxQkTaPbUHftexfdd/lpfmFvxZVoHcA/32IIKFH63\nBU2bnEyYOaW1A4XfNDQH6VG7eT2er1HOlHCtIgzRl0KJNmVggU6DnXnHkUs1PVvg\npyEIR7Xv3GiK7rcS4qCS/9COroqQGFOXJAiLnOaQP5KszT1bMUdoL7mBPTfavnla\nLM+2MgKJOWv+JpHQCDp3XwAXX62LLsS2BjdK1Jt6OpGA6IuVQGBSaTIn5K81S+Yh\nM6RDKbP3kObYQ+bzLvtWrzgUD3sdht/V8L5ZPS3+Jibvmhae2zRrm/YpJZ77Yjd4\n7QliCFGH0+Gwle72yOempFGWULwq7p6yo4dVZXpj1G3XmbZXuvFg4jYeC/usCx+T\nkQgMBPWME2m80fCzhJew1pRChSs/lzVreB0Lh6Tm/5Pibmy721J4oUr6oLkaR9Uy\nNMrYqnSy0+tCEOXHrpCYhqogyzzdjOlv0gWKqB2uSkO5TkEHv2eyHeiZttAn11qO\nsb85q/k0kYQBZZEvKJ9022eyKHjejDhQjKsCVIHhb81BJ1QYnZFIxBiKkVMxf0u5\nsT2TTi18eOrYCUGD2WJ+ALyI1zN1sHO0/sn5+XzlC0jg+1KUXoo0j8NYnzmHb0Yx\n5lbdlcaw0Uo7iWkFdMYT\n=IGGP\n-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----"}
