Title: Version 2.9.4
Post by: pooya87 on January 23, 2018, 05:02:04 AM
11 days ago there was a release on Electrum's github repository [1] tagged with version 2.9.4 (the latest 2.9.x version was 2.9.3) and based on the 2.9.x branch it seems to have backported the JSON-RPC vulnerability fix [2]. there are no binaries for it though [3].

so i was wondering if "as the last resort" if someone could not install version 3.0.5+ on windows, is 2.9.4 a viable option?

I asked thomas on IRC about this and he said he would look into creating a binary but looks like he didn't do it. I got the feeling that they don't want to encourage users of EOL MS operating systems.

2.9.4 was originally created to accommodate Ubuntu LTS Linux users who can't use python 3 for some reason.
