MMGen version 0.8.9 Release Notes

This release brings full functionality and wider testing to the MS Windows port. MMGen now works with both WinXP/MinGW32 and Win7+/MinGW64, and separate, updated installation instructions for both platforms have been added to the wiki. A working MinGW environment is now required to run MMGen.

New Windows features:

• Full non-interactive test suite support with pexpect (PopenSpawn)
• secp256k1 address generation support
• Secure wallet deletion with sdelete

Windows bugfixes:

• A critical bug in writing the encrypted keyaddrfile has been fixed. This bug would have affected only online wallet use and would not have led to the loss of coins
• Cookie filename fixed; RPC cookie authentication now functional

General features:

• --bitcoin-data-dir, --rpc-port, --rpc-user, and --rpc-password options
