### MMGen Version 0.11.0 Release Notes
#### Important new features:
- Subwallets: 7538a94, d1b8aef, 82086c9 (see the [Subwallets][U] wiki page for
additional information)
- BIP69 ordering of transaction inputs and outputs: 6b2c138
- Support for Microsoft Windows via MSYS2: dcab109, 13ab257 (see the
[Install MMGen on Microsoft Windows][W] wiki page for complete
information. Windows users should note the following caveats:
+ no [autosigning][X] support
+ no [Monero wallet creation/syncing support][M] (due to password file
descriptor issues with monero-wallet-cli)
+ due to unpredictable behavior of MSYS2's Python `getpass()`
implementation, passwords containing non-ASCII symbols should be entered
using the `--echo-passphrase` option or via a password file. Otherwise,
these symbols might end up being silently ignored.
+ Though MSYS2 support is well tested and considered stable, it’s a new
feature and other glitches might remain. If you think you've found a
bug, don't hesistate to file an issue at
<https://github.com/mmgen/mmgen/issues>.

- complete rewrite of SHA2 implementation used for Zcash addresses: 2b6dc95
- use of `cryptography` package instead of `pycrypto`: 8a3b921, 7cc69a2
- `pysha3` package dependency eliminated by using native Python implementation
of Keccak hash function: a7126ed
- dependencies on all Ethereum packages except `py_ecc` eliminated: 66d0f76,
