Joinmarket-clientserver 0.5.2: |
||||
================= |
||||
|
||||
<https://github.com/joinmarket-org/joinmarket-clientserver/releases/tag/v0.5.2> |
||||
|
||||
This release contains a fix for IRC connection difficulties which should be |
||||
installed as soon as possible. It also adds the ability to make payments with PayJoin (aka P2EP), |
||||
a CoinJoin variant, including using bech32 wallets (for PayJoin but not Joinmarket coinjoin, at the moment), |
||||
colored log formatting and a number of other minor improvements. |
||||
|
||||
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: |
||||
|
||||
<https://github.com/joinmarket-org/joinmarket-clientserver/issues> |
||||
|
||||
Upgrading |
||||
========= |
||||
|
||||
To upgrade (but: read and follow instructions in 0.4.0 if from pre-0.4.0): |
||||
|
||||
First run the `install.sh` script as mentioned in the README. When prompted to overwrite the directory `jmvenv`, accept. |
||||
To install using Python2, use `./install.sh -p python2` ; the default is now Python3. |
||||
|
||||
Note that `.install.sh -?` will show the options for installation. |
||||
|
||||
If you are running JoinmarketQt, note that Python2 is incompatible. |
||||
|
||||
Notable changes |
||||
=============== |
||||
|
||||
### PayJoin feature (aka Pay-to-Endpoint/P2EP). |
||||
|
||||
In short, this allows users of Joinmarket wallet to pay each other with a coinjoin. |
||||
This has a number of excellent properties in terms of improving privacy. To use, the |
||||
receiver runs the new script `receive-payjoin.py` and the sender runs `sendpayment.py` |
||||
with the option `-T`. See [here](https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/blob/master/docs/PAYJOIN.md) |
||||
for more detailed instructions on how to use. |
||||
|
||||
See [here](https://joinmarket.me/blog/blog/payjoin/) for conceptual explanation, which also links to other |
||||
writeups about the concept. |
||||
|
||||
This can be used with a BIP84 bech32 wallet, but the latter is *not* compatible with Joinmarket coinjoins. |
||||
|
||||
`28abddf` Implement payjoin (p2ep) direct payment joins |
||||
|
||||
`72b2014 add normal payment info to PAYJOIN doc |
||||
|
||||
### Fix IRC connection issues (startup and new server) |
||||
|
||||
See #51 for background. While IRC server drops during operation were handled transparently, with |
||||
communication continuing on the remaining message channels, the bots would, prior to this fix, not start |
||||
up at all if *all* the configured message channels did not start up successfully. In recent days one of the |
||||
two default pre-configured public IRC servers (agora/anarplex.net) stopped functioning/allowing bots to join. |
||||
Hence many users on default setups would find their bots blocked from joining the joinmarket pit. |
||||
Hence this fix (long overdue!) to continue/complete the startup process after a timeout of 60 seconds, if one |
||||
of the configured message channels (there can be as many as you like) fails to complete its startup. In short, |
||||
as long as one server is available, your bot will start up after at most 60 seconds. |
||||
Shorter timeouts are probably undesirable, particularly Taker side, since you don't want to miss half the |
||||
liquidity in the pit just because you were too impatient to wait for the server to fully connect. |
||||
Additionally, a third default server (darkscience) has been added to the config, which supports connecting |
||||
to a hidden service over Tor. |
||||
|
||||
(Joinmarket's architecture in principle supports an arbitrary number of message channels, and they don't have to |
||||
be IRC servers (as long as derived classes implement 4 key methods).) |
||||
|
||||
**Users should refresh/recreate a joinmarket.cfg** (by setting their current one's name to joinmarket.cfg.bak for |
||||
example) and then copy over the new default MESSAGING section settings, and then edit them as they prefer. |
||||
|
||||
`c6dabae` Add startup redundancy to IRC servers. |
||||
|
||||
`7ee18af` Add darkscience IRC to default configuration. |
||||
|
||||
### Colored terminal logging |
||||
|
||||
We now use a python package [chromalog](https://chromalog.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) to support colored logging |
||||
of Joinmarket bots on the terminal; this is due to the fact that logs are pretty noisy but also sometimes necessary |
||||
to look at (and this is particularly true of the new PayJoin feature, among some others). For those who find |
||||
the color scheme unreadable or undesirable on their chosen terminal setup, set `color = false` in the LOGGING |
||||
section of joinmarket.cfg and it will be switched off. Note of course that log *files* are unaffected by this. |
||||
|
||||
`c139067` Include chromalog package for colorized logs |
||||
|
||||
`bc6228f` Fix "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'" when jmprint() called with None as msg |
||||
|
||||
`0ce9392` Allow user to switch off colored logging New config setting [LOGGING]color=true/false |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Minor changes |
||||
|
||||
Will probably not be of interest to non-developers (these are mostly changes to logging/documentation). |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
`faee0eb` Reset http connection on EPROTOTYPE errors. |
||||
|
||||
`1909656` Add hostid to "On disconnect fired, nicks_seen is now" log message |
||||
|
||||
`dbac8ed` remove electrum references and add multiwallet ref to USAGE.md |
||||
|
||||
`2dda70a` message_channel.py should not have execute permissions set |
||||
|
||||
`1e2154d` python 3.4 byte string formatting fix for authorization header |
||||
|
||||
`8ca65a7` Log initial offerlist on startup for a Maker |
||||
|
||||
`8140543` demote nick drop to debug from warn |
||||
|
||||
`fc66381` show hostname in logs for signedOn and joined |
||||
|
||||
`a88cce4` We aren't Python2-only anymore |
||||
|
||||
`965d190` update stale help msg on utxo type in sendtomany.py |
||||
