Joinmarket-clientserver 0.9.8:

https://github.com/joinmarket-org/joinmarket-clientserver/releases/tag/v0.9.8

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

Upgrading

To upgrade:

Reminder: always back up and recreate your joinmarket.cfg file when doing the upgrade; this is to make sure you have the new default settings.

(If you are upgrading from a version pre-0.7.0 please read the "Upgrading" section in the 0.7.0 release notes.)

(If you are upgrading from a version pre-0.9.0 please read the release notes to find out how about fidelity bonds are relevant to your use-case).

First run the install.sh script as mentioned in the README. When prompted to overwrite the directory jmvenv, accept.

Note that ./install.sh -? will show the options for installation. See the section on Installation below for a new option for Tor.

This minor release is only mandatory for those using the RPC-API. If you use JoinmarketQt and/or the terminal/CLI version of Joinmarket, you may skip it, though installing it won't hurt.

Changes

Fix to tumbler stalling via RPC API

This issue prevented the tumbler from continuing when it stalled due to a failed transaction attempt (which is a fairly frequent occurence, but should be fixed by the tumbler 'waking up' after some time, and trying again). This came from an error in the tumbler-related code in the RPC API, and so did not affect users on the command line, or using JoinmarketQt.

Fixed incompatibility bug from new bond calculator script.

In Joinmarket 0.9.7 we introduced a tool scripts/bond-calculator.py that allows a user to estimate the value they get from creating a timelocked utxo as a fidelity bond. Unfortunately one part of that code was incompatible with versions of Python earlier than 3.8, though Joinmarket still supports Python 3.6+. This commit fixes that issue.

Check package hashes early

This improvement checks the SHA256 hashes of downloaded packages during installation, before doing the gpg signature validation (note the change related to that in 0.9.7, described here), rather than after, to avoid unexpected signature validation failure.
