+# Release 3.2.0 - (unreleased)
+
+ * libsecp256k1: to speed up elliptic curve operations, Electrum can now
+ utilize the libsecp256k1 library from Bitcoin Core, if present.
+ Otherwise, as before, python-ecdsa is used. libsecp256k1 is
+ bundled in the Windows, MacOS, and Android binaries. As we only
+ distribute source for Linux, for now, users need to install the library
+ themselves if they desire its benefits.
+ * Two-factor wallets are now implemented for Android.
+ Note that they only provide additional security if the one time
+ passwords are generated on a separate device.
+ * Semi-automated crash reporting is now implemented for Android too.
+ * Generalized local transactions: an "is mine" input is no longer needed
+ to qualify as local, which in practice means that any transaction
+ that drops from the mempool becomes local and is kept. Previously
+ these were deleted from the wallet.
+ * Wallet logic: the scriptSig and witness part of transactions is no longer
+ parsed, unless actually needed, which was in the past occasionally the cause
+ of getting stuck in infinite "Synchronizing". As the input scripts are not
+ parsed, the "from" addresses are not inferred. The wallet history and
+ balance logic no longer depend on "from" addresses.
+ Perhaps most noticeably, as parent transactions are not fetched, and guesses
+ for the "from" addresses are no longer made, the Qt GUI will not display
+ addresses corresponding to the inputs (except for "is mine" inputs).
+ * The partial transaction format has been incompatibly changed. This was
+ needed as for partial transactions the scriptSig/witness has to be parsed,
+ but for signed transactions we did not want to do the parsing.
+ Users should make sure that all instances of Electrum they use to co-sign
+ or offline sign, are updated together.
+ * Signing of partial transactions created with online imported addresses
+ wallets now supports significantly more setups. Previously only
+ online p2pkh address + offline WIF was supported.
+ Now the following setups are all supported:
+ - online {p2pkh, p2wpkh-p2sh, p2wpkh} address + offline WIF,
+ - online {p2pkh, p2wpkh-p2sh, p2wpkh} address + offline seed/xprv,
+ - online {p2sh, p2wsh-p2sh, p2wsh}-multisig address + offline seeds/xprvs
+ (potentially distributed among several different machines)
+ Note that for the online address + offline HD secret case, you need the
+ offline wallet to recognize the address (i.e. within gap limit).
+ Having an xpub on the online machine is still the recommended setup, as this
+ allows the online machine to generate new addresses on demand.
+ * Ledger: offline signing for segwit inputs (#3302)
+ This has already worked for Trezor and Digital Bitbox. Offline segwit
+ signing can be combined with online imported addresses wallets.
+ * Added Revealer plugin. ( https://revealer.cc )
+ Revealer is a seed phrase back-up solution. It allows you to create a cold,
+ analog, multi-factor backup of your wallet seeds, or of any arbitrary
+ secret. The Revealer utilizes a transparent plastic visual one time pad.
+ * Fractional fee rates: the Qt GUI now displays fee rates with 0.1 sat/byte
+ precision, and also allows this same resolution in the Send tab.
+ * Hardware wallets: a "show address" button is now displayed in the Receive
+ tab of the Qt GUI. (#4316)
+ * Trezor One: implemented advanced/matrix recovery (#4329)
+ * Qt/Kivy: added "sat" as optional base unit
+ * Kivy GUI: significant performance improvements when displaying history and
+ address list of large wallets; and transaction dialog of large transactions
+ * Windows: use dnspython to resolve dns instead of socket.getaddrinfo (#4422)
+ * importing minikeys: use uncompressed pubkey instead of compressed (#4384)
+ * SPV proofs: check inner nodes not to be valid transactions (#4436)
+ * Qt GUI: there is now an optional "dark" theme (#4461)
+ * Several other minor bugfixes and usability improvements.
+
