# Release 2.5
- * All electrum windows are now part of the same process. When starting
- a new GUI electrum instance, that instance starts a daemon if there is
- none running. Otherwise it connects to the running daemon and sends the
- it information to open a window in the daemon's process, and the new
- instance then terminates.
- * With the daemon changes, network and network proxy code could be unified.
- This should improve the robustness of electrum's networking.
- * Networking was rewritten to multiplex use select(), so all server
- communication is handled by a single thread rather than a thread
- per server connection. Moreover, the synchronizer, verifier, and
- exchange rate plugin now run as separate jobs within the networking
- thread instead of as their own threads. The elimination of so many
- threads should lead to reduced lock contention and CPU usage.
+ * Low-S values are used in signatures (BIP 62).
+ * The Kivy GUI has been merged into master.
+ * The Qt GUI supports multiple windows in the same process. When a
+ new Electrum instance is started, it checks for an already running
+ Electrum process, and connects to it.
+ * The network layer uses select(), so all server communication is
+ handled by a single thread. Moreover, the synchronizer, verifier,
+ and exchange rate plugin now run as separate jobs within the
+ networking thread instead of as their own threads. The elimination
+ of so many threads should lead to reduced lock contention and CPU
+ usage.
* Plugins are revamped, particularly the exchange rate plugin.
- * Various bugfixes.
# Release 2.4.4
