Title: Big changes since 0.3.23
Post by: jackjack on March 20, 2013, 12:51:46 AM
Hi there,

I had to leave the Bitcoin community for a long time, since 0.3.23
As a dev I'd like other dev(s) to tell me what big changes occured since then
Of course, I'm looking into that and I'm not just waiting to be spoon-fed but that would help a lot, just to be sure I'm not missing a key point before developping again.
Even just the name of the feature like "wallet encryption" would help.

Thanks in advance!

and look at each of the version's readme for a changelog.

The biggest change is a new central location storing lots of information about Bitcoin. Oh, wait, that's not new:

Development on pywallet has continued also.
