===========
ChangeLog
===========
.. note:: It is strongly recommended you upgrade to Python 3.7, which
fixes bugs in asyncio that caused an ever-growing open file count
and memory consumption whilst serving clients. Those problems
should not occur with Python 3.7.
Version 1.8.7 (13 Sep 2018)
===========================
* require aiorpcX 0.8.1
* fix reorg bug loading blocks from disk (erasmospunk)
Version 1.8.6 (12 Sep 2018)
===========================
* require aiorpcX 0.8.0
* suppress socket.send() errors
* new coin TokenPay (samfiragabriel)
* minor fix: wakiyamap
Version 1.8.5 (18 Aug 2018)
===========================
* require aiorpcX 0.7.3 which contains a couple of bugfixes
* fix `#552`_, `#577`_
* fixed a session limiting bug reported by ghost43
* coin additions / updates: PIVX and Decred Testnets, BitcoinGreen (cunhasb)
Monacoin (wakayamap)
* proper generation input handling for various altcoins (erasmospunk) fixing
`#570`_
Version 1.8.4 (14 Aug 2018)
===========================
* improved notification handling and efficiency
* improved daemon handling with minor fixes; full tests for Daemon class
* remove chain_state class
* various internal cleanups and improvements (erasmospunk)
* add PIVX support (erasmospunk) - mempool handling WIP
* fix protocol 1.3 handling of blockchain.block.header RPC (ghost43)
Version 1.8.3 (11 Aug 2018)
===========================
* separate the DB and the BlockProcessor objects
* comprehensive mempool tests
* fix `#521`_, `#565`_, `#567`_
Version 1.8.2 (09 Aug 2018)
===========================
* require aiorpcX 0.7.1 which along with an ElectrumX change restores clean
shutdown and flush functionality, particularly during initial sync
* fix `#564`_
Version 1.8.1 (08 Aug 2018)
===========================
* require aiorpcX 0.7.0 which fixes a bug causing silent shutdown of ElectrumX
* fix `#557`_, `#559`_
* tweaks related to log spew (I think mostly occurring with old versions
of Python)
Version 1.8 (06 Aug 2018)
==========================
* require aiorpcX 0.6.2
* fix query.py; move to contrib. Add :ref:`query <query>` function to RPC
* rewrite :command:`electrumx_rpc` so that proper command-line help is provided
* per-coin tx hash functions (erasmospunk)
* coin additions / updates: Groestlcoin (Kefkius, erasmospunk),
Decred (erasmonpsunk)
* other minor (smmalis37)
Version 1.7.3 (01 Aug 2018)
============================
* fix `#538`_
Version 1.7.2 (29 Jul 2018)
============================
* require aiorpcX 0.5.9; 0.5.8 didn't work on Python 3.7
Version 1.7.1 (28 Jul 2018)
============================
* switch to aiorpcX 0.5.8 which implements some curio task management
primitives on top of asyncio that make writing correct async code
much easier, as well as making it simpler to reason about
* use those primitives to restructure the peer manager, which is now
fully concurrent again, as well as the block processor and
controller
* fix `#534`_ introduced in 1.7
* minor coin tweaks (ghost43, cipig)
Version 1.7 (25 Jul 2018)
==========================
* completely overhauled mempool and address notifications
implementation. Cleaner and a lot more efficient, especially for
initial synchronization of the mempool. Mempool handling is fully
asynchronous and doesn't hinder client responses or block
processing.
* peer discovery cleaned up, more work remains
* cleaner shutdown process with clear guarantees
* aiohttp min version requirement raised to 2.0
* onion peers are ignored if no tor proxy is available
* add Motion coin (ocruzv), MinexCoin (joesixpack)
Version 1.6 (19 July 2018)
===========================
* implement :ref:`version 1.4` of the protocol, with benefit for light
clients, particularly mobile
* implement header proofs and merkle caches
* implement :func:`blockchain.transaction.id_from_pos` (ghost43)
* large refactoring of session and controller classes
* recent blocks are now stored on disk. When backing up in a reorg
ElectrumX uses these rather than asking the daemon for the blocks --
some daemons cannot correctly handle orphaned block requests after
a reorg. Fixes `#258`_, `#315`_, `#479`_
* minor fixes: nijel
Version 1.5.2
=============
* package renamed from elctrumX-kyuupichan to electrumX
* split merkle logic out into lib/merkle.py
* fix `#523`_ for daemons based on older releases of core
Version 1.5.1
=============
Fixes a couple of issues found in 1.5 after release:
* update peer discovery code for :ref:`version 1.3` of the protocol
* setup.py would not run in a clean environment (e.g. virtualenv)
* logging via aiorpcX didn't work with the logging hierarchy updates
* log Python interpreter version on startup
Version 1.5
===========
.. note:: The two main scripts, :file:`electrumx_server` and
:file:`electrumx_rpc` were renamed to drop the `.py` suffix. You
will probably need to update your run script accordingly.
* support :ref:`version 1.3` of the protocol
* increase minimum supported protocol version to :ref:`version 1.1`
* split out history handling in preparation for new DB format
* force close stubborn connections that refuse to close gracefully
* RPC getinfo returns server version (erasmospunk)
* add new masternode methods; document them all (elmora-do)
* make electrumx a Python package (eukreign)
* hierarchical logging, Env to take a coin class directly,
server_listening event (eukreign)
* decred coin removed as mainnet does not sync
* issues fixed: `#414`_, `#443`_, `#455`_, `#480`_, `#485`_, `#502`_,
`#506`_, `#519`_ (wakiyamap)
* new or updated coins: Feathercoin (lclc), NewYorkCoin Testnet(nicovs),
BitZeny (wakiyamap), UFO (bushstar), GAME (cipig), MAC (nico205),
Xuez (ddude), ZCash (wo01), PAC (elmora-do), Koto Testnet (wo01),
Dash Testnet (ser), BTG all nets (wilsonmeier), Polis + ColossusXT +
GoByte + Monoeci (cronos-polis), BitcoinCash Regtest (eukreign)
* minor tweaks: romanz, you21979, SuBPaR42, sangaman, wakiyamap, DaShak
Version 1.4.3
=============
* Fix `#442`_.
Version 1.4.2
=============
* proxy remote IP reported properly if :envvar:`FORCE_PROXY` is set.
Fixes `#301`_.
* requires aiorpcx 0.5.5
Version 1.4.1
=============
* minor bugfixes - cleaner shutdown; group handling
* set PROTOCOL_MIN to 1.0; this will prevent 2.9.x clients from connecting
and encourage upgrades to more recent clients without the security hole
* requires aiorpcx 0.5.4
Version 1.4
===========
* switch to `aiorpcX <https://github.com/kyuupichan/aiorpcX>`_ for all
networking, ``JSON RPC`` and proxy handling
* proxy detection improvements
* `documentation <https://electrumx.readthedocs.io/>`_ rewrite
* new environment variable :envvar:`LOG_FORMAT` to control logging format
* new environment variable :envvar:`DROP_CLIENT` to cut off unsupported
client software
* coin updates: Litecoin (pooler), bitbayd (kongeo), BTG (wilsonmeier),
danny91, wakiyamap, snowgem, Dash (theLazier), fujicoin
* new coins: Decred (cipherzzz), axe (-k),
* typo fixes (dax, romanz)
.. note:: the Dash-specific undocumented ``masternode.subscribe()``
RPC call was not following the JSON RPC spec; this was shown up by
the switch to aiorpcX. I had to modify the code but it may break
Dash clients.
The Decred implementation doesn't work on mainnet; I will remove it
if this remains unfixed.
Version 1.3
===========
* Switch to :ref:`version 1.2` of the protocol.
:func:`mempool.get_fee_histogram` implementation contributed by ecdsa,
verbose mode of :func:`blockchain.transaction.get` by gdassori.
* :func:`blockchain.scripthash.listunspent` now takes into account mempool
spends and receipts.
* Improved client notification handling.
* Wait for mempool to fully sync before serving.
* Documentation moved to `readthedocs.io
<https://electrumx.readthedocs.io/>`_. Rewritten and improved
protocol documentation.
* new/updated coins: Chips (cipig), Feathercoin (lclc), Zclassic(heyrhett),
Dash (thelazier), NYC (xarakas), Koto (wo01), BitcoinZ (cipig), BitCore
(cipig), Fujicoin (fujicoin), Bitcoin Atom (erasmospunk), Deanrius (carsenk),
SNG (blackjok3rtt).
* Minor fixes and improvements: duckartes, blin00, bauerj,
erasmospunk, SomberNight, romanz.
Version 1.2.1
=============
- remove IRC support. Most coins had empty IRC channels. Those that
don't have peers populated.
- use estimatesmartfee RPC call if available (SomberNight)
- new/updated coins: Emercoin (Sergii Vakula), Bitcoin Gold (erasmospunk),
Monacoin testnet (Wakiyama P), sibcoin (53r63rn4r), Komodo and Monaize
(cipig), Hush (Duke Leto)
- doc updates (fr3aker)
- issues fixed: `#302`_
Version 1.2
===========
.. note:: version 1.2 changes script hash indexing in the database, so
you will need to rebuild your databases from scratch. Running this
version will refuse to open the DB and not corrupt it, so you can
revert to 1.1.x if you wish. The initial synchronisation process
should be around 10-15% faster than 1.1, owing to this change and
Justin Arthur's optimisations from 1.1.1.
- separate P2PKH from P2PK entries in the history and UTXO databases.
These were previously amalgamated by address as that is what
electrum-server used to do. However Electrum didn't handle P2PK
spends correctly and now the protocol admits subscriptions by script
hash there is no need to have these merged any more.
For Bitcoin (BitcoinSegwit/mainnet) you can download a leveldb database
synced up to block 490153 using this bittorrent magnet
