MMGen Version 0.9.8 Release Notes

Interesting new features:

  • Bech32 address support (BTC: e4114ee, LTC: 2cb4df7)
  • Stealth mnemonic entry (90ebc94)

New comprehensive UTF-8 support:

  • UTF-8 filenames and paths (896c7fe)
  • UTF-8 tracking wallet comments (d49c862)
  • UTF-8 wallet labels (2104273)
  • Proper formatting of CJK strings (ea6629d)

Security/bugfixes:

  • max_tx_file_size and other TX file checks (cf20311)
  • TX size estimation fixes (ed2b94c)
  • Require brainwallet and passwords to be UTF-8 encoded (9f2153c)

Coin daemons used for testing:

  • Bitcoin Core v0.16.0
  • Litecoin Core v0.16.0rc1
  • Bitcoin-ABC v0.17.1
  • Monero v0.12.0.0 (Lithium Luna)

Tools used for testing:

  • Zcash-Mini (a2b3504)
  • Pycoin v0.90a
  • Pyethereum v2.1.2
  • Vanitygen-Plus (5ca3d22)

Note that some features, notably UTF-8 filename and path support, do not work on the MS Windows/MinGW platform. See the file doc/README.mswin.md for details.

All user input is now required to be UTF-8 encoded. This will break backward compatibility in the unlikely event that a) you're using a non-ASCII wallet password or brainwallet, and b) your native charset is non-UTF-8. If this is the case, you must change your wallet password to an ASCII one (or export your brainwallet to another MMGen wallet format) using an older version of MMGen before upgrading.
