elements-0.18.1.6

Changelog:

• Reduce mintxfee to 0.1 sat/vbyte and fallback fee to 2 sat/vb
• Switch default bits of hiding to 52
• check for hardened derivation steps early in initpegoutwallet
• Create witness outputs for (re)issueasset RPC
• Fix claimpegin and createrawpegin support for multiwallet
• Place the mainchain RPC warmup message in a better place

elements-0.18.1.5

Changes:

• Correct some inconsistencies in the handling of the default chain, if one is not specified. (The default is Liquid v1, but in some places the Bitcoin mainnet chain would be assumed instead.) Chain-specific config file arguments will now correctly be treated as applying to the Liquid v1 chain by default. The elements-cli default will now be the Liquid v1 chain. GUI shortcut files will no longer default to being named "Bitcoin".

elements-0.18.1.4

Changes:

• Fix bug in address list creation for getwalletpakinfo.
• Add current_params_root key to getblockchaininfo RPC.
• Use correct name in Mac OSX application

Elements 0.18.1.3

This is a required release for anyone using peg-out functionality in Liquid network.

Liquid fix:

• Liquid fix for peg-out authorization creation

Various QT fixes and enhancements:

• Allow QT to start up with warning if mainchain peg-in validation has not been set up.
• Have balance window in QT scrollable when many assets are in wallet
• Fix QR code display with non-blech32 addresses
• Give proper estimation of chain size on first startup

Dynamic Federations:

• Simplified and improved legacy to dynamic federations transition logic
• Set BIP9 starting window logic for signaling to being per block height rather than clock time

Documentation:
Removed erroneous "bitcoin" strings in help documentation.

Elements 0.18.1.2

Features and fixes:

getnewblockhex: Take data push for arbitrary data in block coinbase commitment
dynaParamsToJSON: No lock required
Reduce relay min rate to 100 sat/vkB (mempool relay only, no wallet default changes)

Elements 0.18.1.1

Contains important fixes and enhancements over 0.18.1. It is a REQUIRED UPDATE for Liquid users who previously updated to 0.18.X :

• Fix Liquid network syncing issue. If your node has become stuck on the network, please re-run sync with this node. See: #720

• Dynamic federations hard-fork: Require a SIGHASH_ALL signature hash byte on all block header signatures. This increases interoperability with miniscript libraries currently in use. Note that no public networks have activated dynamic federations currently.

• Allow checksums in descriptors for initpegoutwallet, and disable non-p2pkh peg-out addresses for Liquid network, for now. This will be relaxed after the functionary network itself is updated for dynamic federations.

• Reintroduced -pak= configuration entries, in simplified form, for testing and QA.

Elements 0.18.1

Note: Binary has issue causing liquidv1 chain to stall. All other functionality and test chains work properly. New release forthcoming. Until then please use latest 0.17-based release.

Major release.

Caught up with Bitcoin Core 0.18.1 codebase

PSBT support for confidential transactions
