# Release 2.4
- * The Openalias plugin was merged into the main code.
- * The DNSSEC validation procedure (used for OpenAliases) was
- rewritten. The previous validation method, which was included in
- the OpenAlias plugin, is vulnerable and should not be trusted
- (Electrum 2.0 to 2.3).
- * Payment requests can be signed with DNSSEC aliases. This
- effectively extends BIP70 to user aliases.
- * New 'email' plugin, that enables sending and receiving payment
- requests by email.
+ * The Openalias/DNSSEC plugin was merged into the main electrum
+ code. The DNSSEC verification procedure was rewritten. The previous
+ validation method, which was part of the OpenAlias plugin, is
+ vulnerable and should not be trusted (Electrum 2.0 to 2.3).
+ * BIP70 payment requests can be signed using Bitcoin keys stored in
+ DNS (OpenAlias). The identity of the requestor is verified using
+ DNSSEC.
+ * Payment requests signed with OpenAlias keys can be shared as
+ bitcoin: URIs, if they are simple (a single address-type
+ output). The BIP21 URI scheme is extended with 'name', 'sig',
+ 'timestamp', 'expiration'.
* Arbitrary m-of-n multisig wallets are supported (n<=15).
* Multisig transactions can be signed with Trezor.
* User-set transaction fees are retained with the '!' shortcut.
+ * New 'email' plugin, that enables sending and receiving payment
+ requests by email.
# Release 2.3.3
