# Release 4.1.0 - (not released yet; release notes are a draft) |
|
|
|
|
* The wallet creation wizard will no longer ask for seed type, |
|
|
|
|
and create segwit wallets. Older seed types can still be |
|
|
|
|
created wit the command line. |
|
|
|
|
* Lightning: |
|
|
|
|
- support multi-part-payment |
|
|
|
|
- support trampoline routing (enabled by default) |
|
|
|
|
- channel backups can be recovered from seed (enabled by default) |
|
|
|
|
- submarine swaps are available on kivy/android. |
|
|
|
|
- support upfront_shutdown_script |
|
|
|
|
* GUI: invoices (both incoming and outgoing) are automatically |
|
|
|
|
removed from the list once they are paid. Invoice details can |
|
|
|
|
still be accessed from the transaction history. |
|
|
|
|
* Android: if possible, use the same password for all wallets |

# Release 4.1.0 - Kangaroo (not released yet) |
|
|
|
|
* The wallet creation wizard will no longer ask for seed type, and |
|
|
|
|
create native segwit wallets with bech32 addresses. Older seed |
|
|
|
|
types can still be created with the command line. |
|
|
|
|
* GUI (both qt and kivy): invoices (incoming and outgoing) are |
|
|
|
|
automatically removed from the user-visible list once they are paid |
|
|
|
|
(one confirmation is needed for onchain invoices). Once removed, |
|
|
|
|
paid invoice details can still be accessed from the transaction |
|
|
|
|
history. In Qt, the lists have been renamed to 'Sending queue' and |
|
|
|
|
'Receiving queue'. |
|
|
|
|
* Lightning: Recoverable channels (option, enabled by default) |
|
|
|
|
- Recovery data is added to the channel funding transaction using |
|
|
|
|
an OP_RETURN. This makes it possible to recover a static backup |
|
|
|
|
of the channel from the wallet seed. Please note that static |
|
|
|
|
backups only allow users to request a force-close of the channel |
|
|
|
|
with the remote node, so that funds not locked in HTLCs can be |
|
|
|
|
recovered. This assumes that the remote node is still online, did |
|
|
|
|
not lose its data, and accepts to force close the channel. |
|
|
|
|
- Channel recovery data uses 20 bytes (16 bytes of the remote |
|
|
|
|
NodeID plus 4 magic bytes) and is encrypted so that only the |
|
|
|
|
wallet that owns it can decrypt it. However, blockchain analysis |
|
|
|
|
will be able to tell that the transaction was probably created by |
|
|
|
|
Electrum. |
|
|
|
|
- This option is only available for standard wallets with an |
|
|
|
|
Electrum seed. It is not available for hardware wallets, because |
|
|
|
|
it requires a deterministic derivation of the nodeID. It is also |
|
|
|
|
not available in watching-only wallets, for the same reason. If a |
|
|
|
|
wallet can have recoverable channels but has an old nodeID, users |
|
|
|
|
who want to use that feature need to close all their existing |
|
|
|
|
channels, and to restore their wallet from seed. |
|
|
|
|
- If this option is enabled, other nodes cannot open a channel to |
|
|
|
|
Electrum. |
|
|
|
|
* Lightning: Support multi-part-payment (both sending and receiving) |
|
|
|
|
* Lightning: Trampoline routing (option, enabled by default). |
|
|
|
|
- Trampoline is enabled by default in order to prevent unwanted |
|
|
|
|
download of the network gossip. If trampoline is disabled, the |
|
|
|
|
gossip will be downloaded, regardless of the existence of |
|
|
|
|
channels. |
|
|
|
|
- Because there is no discovery mechanism for trampoline nodes, the |
|
|
|
|
list of available trampolines is hardcoded in the client |
|
|
|
|
(currently 3 nodes on mainnet, 1 on testnet). It will remain so |
|
|
|
|
until OPTION_TRAMPOLINE_ROUTING_OPT is announced in INIT. |
|
|
|
|
- If trampoline is enabled: |
|
|
|
|
- payments use trampoline. |
|
|
|
|
- gossip is disabled. |
|
|
|
|
- the wallet can only open channels with trampoline nodes. |
|
|
|
|
- pre-existing channels with non-trampoline nodes are frozen for |
|
|
|
|
sending. |
|
|
|
|
- There are two types of trampoline payments: legacy and end-to-end |
|
|
|
|
We decide whether to perform legacy or end-to-end based on the |
|
|
|
|
features in the invoice: |
|
|
|
|
- OPTION_TRAMPOLINE_ROUTING_OPT (1<<25) for Electrum |
|
|
|
|
- OPTION_TRAMPOLINE_ROUTING_OPT_ECLAIR (1<<51) for Eclair/Phoenix |
|
|
|
|
- When performing a legacy payment, Electrum adds a second |
|
|
|
|
trampoline node to the route in order to protect the privacy of |
|
|
|
|
the payer and payee. It will fall back to a single trampoline if |
|
|
|
|
the double-trampoline strategy has failed for all trampolines. |
|
|
|
|
- Similar to Phoenix, the fee and CLTV delay are found by |
|
|
|
|
trial-and-error. If there is a second trampoline in the route, we |
|
|
|
|
use the same fee/CLTV for both. This trial-and-error is |
|
|
|
|
temporary; the final specification should add fee information in |
|
|
|
|
the failure messages, so that we will be able to better fine-tune |
|
|
|
|
trampoline fees. |
|
|
|
|
* Lightning: Support upfront_shutdown_script |
|
|
|
|
* Android password unification: When the app is started, the provided |
|
|
|
|
password is checked against all wallets in the directory. If the |
|
|
|
|
test passes: |
|
|
|
|
- all wallets are encrypted |
|
|
|
|
- new wallets are created with the existing password |
|
|
|
|
- password updates are performed on all wallets |
|
|
|
|
Whether the password is unified can be seen in the GUI: In |
|
|
|
|
settings, the description for the password setting is 'Change |
|
|
|
|
password for this wallet', and becomes 'Change password' if |
|
|
|
|
password is unified. |
|
|
|
|
* Submarine swaps are available on kivy/android. |
|
|
|
|
* Android PIN reset: If the password is unified, the PIN can be reset |
|
|
|
|
by providing the password. |
