MMGen Version 0.11.0 Release Notes

Important new features:

• Subwallets: 7538a94, d1b8aef, 82086c9 (see the Subwallets 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 wiki page for complete information. Windows users should note the following caveats:

  • no autosigning support
  • no Monero wallet creation/syncing support (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.
