    MMGen version 0.8.8 Release Notes

    Data directory, config file and default wallet support:

    • Data directory is ~/.mmgen; config file is mmgen.cfg.
    • When default wallet is present in data directory, specifying the wallet on the command line is optional.
    • Datadir structure mirrors that of Bitcoin Core: mainnet and testnet share a common config file, with testnet putting its own files, including the default wallet, in the subdirectory 'testnet3'.
    • Global vars are now overriden in this order:
      1. config file
      2. environmental variables beginning with MMGEN_ (listed in globalvars.py)
      3. command line
    • Long (common) opts added for setting global vars; display with --longhelp.

    The test suite has been updated to test these new features.

    Other changes:

    • Always get user entropy, even for non-critical randomness, unless -r0.
    • rpcuser,rpcpassword now override cookie authentication, as with Core.
    • Communication with remote bitcoind supported with --rpc-host option.
    • Testnet use can be overridden with the --testnet=0|1 option.
