Title: New release: Electrum 4.0.3 (minor bugfixes) Post by: bL4nkcode on September 12, 2020, 06:18:48 AM There's new version release of electrum
Few key changes: - bitbox02 updates - PSBT support UTXO and WITNESS_UTXO - coldcard multisig for show address - BIP39 recovery - other minor bugfixes More on github r elease notes (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES) Download link: https://electrum.org/#download Title: Re: New release: Electrum 4.0.3 (minor bugfixes) Post by: AB de Royse777 on September 12, 2020, 10:15:48 AM Not trying it yet, but I was expecting some visual changes too like:
-changing the way we spend from address and coins. - Having fees to enter the same page instead of the new pop up. The 4.x version is a bit complicated to figure out for new users. Title: Re: New release: Electrum 4.0.3 (minor bugfixes) Post by: o_e_l_e_o on September 12, 2020, 10:42:52 AM Quote new feature: "Automated BIP39 recovery" (#6219, #6155) Here are the links to #6155 (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/6155) and #6219 (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/6219).When restoring from a BIP39 seed, add option to scan many known derivation paths for history, and show them to user to choose from. Just tried this out, and it is a really nice feature. Essentially after inputting your seed phrase and checking the BIP39 box, on the next screen you still get the usual p2pkh/p2wpkh-p2sh/p2wpkh selection and the derivation path box if you want to enter a custom path, but you also get a button which says "Detect Existing Accounts". If you press it, Electrum scans a list of common derivation paths and returns any which have been used. Here is a list of all the derivation paths that it scans (currently 13 different paths): https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/928e43fc530ba5befa062db788e4e04d56324161/electrum/bip39_wallet_formats.json I think it would be nice to maybe expand that list to be more of a "catch all" since it will be primarily used by newbies who don't know what a derivation path is. Title: Re: New release: Electrum 4.0.3 (minor bugfixes) Post by: HCP on September 13, 2020, 01:08:05 AM It's a good starting point I guess... might at least help prevent a couple of the "I recovered my XXX wallet in Electrum but don't see any of my old transactions/coins" or "Electrum has different addresses to XXX wallet" type posts that pop up now and then.
I am still scratching my head over some of the 4.x UI/UX changes tho... it seems obvious that some of them are causing a certain amount of confusion amongst users, both old and new.

Yeah, absolutely. I would have quite liked to see a couple of accounts at each derivation path, though - so m/44'/0'/0', m/44'/0'/1', m/44'/0'/2', for example - since a number of wallets will create new accounts like this in the background without making it clear to newbies that they are changing the derivation path. Or even better I suppose would be that if it finds an active addresses at m/44'/0'/0', to scan for active addresses at m/44'/0'/1', and keeping going until no more addresses are found. Kind of like a gap limit but for accounts.I am still scratching my head over some of the 4.x UI/UX changes tho... it seems obvious that some of them are causing a certain amount of confusion amongst users, both old and new. It definitely takes a bit of getting used to, but I really like the new "Advanced Preview" pop up. I think simply enabling it by default and changing the "Pay" button on the main screen to something like "Proceed" would make it more clear.Title: Re: New release: Electrum 4.0.3 (minor bugfixes) Post by: MoparMiningLLC on September 13, 2020, 05:06:53 PM these appear to work in 4.0.3 where they were not working in 4.0.2 Title: Re: New release: Electrum 4.0.3 (minor bugfixes) Post by: nc50lc on September 14, 2020, 02:53:58 AM I don't know what fixed the repeating "assertion error" that I've been getting in the command line while using my LN wallet.
I was able to use the wallet (from source) without issues though. It's now gone in 4.0.3. Title: Re: New release: Electrum 4.0.3 (minor bugfixes) Post by: srgmnr on September 18, 2020, 04:36:44 AM Hi,
