### 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.
