This release includes some features initially planned for version 2.0. Packages are available on https://electrum.org/download.html (signed by me) Binaries for windows and mac will be available in the coming days enjoy Thomas ----------------------- RELEASE NOTES # Release 1.9.8 (This release includes features initially planned for version 2.0) * Electrum servers were upgraded to version 0.9. The new server stores a Patrica tree of all UTXOs, an idea proposed by Alan Reiner in the bitcointalk forum. This property allows the client to directly request the balance of any address. The new commands are: 1. getaddressbalance
2. getaddressunspent
3. getutxoaddress * In addition, two commands for message encryption were added: 1. encrypt 2. decrypt The encryption algorithm is ECIES, and code was was borrowed from https://github.com/jackjack-jj/jeeq. In order to know the public key corresponding to a Bitcoin address in your wallet, you can use the 'getpubkeys' command. The 'decrypt' command assumes that the wallet has the private key corresponding to the public key passed as argument. * The encrypt and decrypt functions are available in the Qt GUI (from the menubar, or right click on one of your addresses if you want to use its public key). * Command-line commands that require a connection to the network spawn a daemon, that remains connected and handles subsequent commands. The daemon terminates itself if it remains unused for more than one minute. The purpose of this is to make scripting more efficient. For example, a bash script using many electrum commands will open only one connection.
