+# Release 1.9.8
+(This release includes features initially planned for version 2.0)
+
+* Electrum servers were upgraded to version 0.9. The new server stores
+ a Patrica tree of all UTXOs, an idea proposed by Alan Reiner in the
+ bitcointalk forum. This property allows the client to directly
+ request the balance of any address. The new commands are:
+ 1. getaddressbalance <address>
+ 2. getaddressunspent <address>
+ 3. getutxoaddress <txid> <pos>
+
+* Command-line commands that require a connection to the network spawn
+ a daemon, that remains connected and handles subsequent
+ commands. The daemon terminates itself if it remains unused for more
+ than one minute. The purpose of this is to make scripting more
+ efficient. For example, a bash script using many electrum commands
+ will open only one connection.

+
+
+# Release 1.7.2:
+
+* Transactions that are in the same block are displayed in chronological order in the history.
+* The client computes transaction priority and rejects zero-fee transactions that need a fee.
+* The default fee was lowered to 200 uBTC per kb.
+* Due to an internal format change, your history may be pruned when
+ you open your wallet for the first time after upgrading to 1.7.2. If
+ this is the case, please visit a full server to restore your full
+ history. You will only need to do that once.
+
+
+# Release 1.7.1: bugfixes.
+
+
+# Release 1.7
+
+* The Classic GUI can be extended with plugins. Developers who want to
+add new features or third-party services to Electrum are invited to
+write plugins. Some previously existing and non-essential features of
+Electrum (point-of-sale mode, qrcode scanner) were removed from the
+core and are now available as plugins.
+
+* The wallet waits for 2 confirmations before creating new
+addresses. This makes recovery from seed more robust. Note that it
+might create unwanted gaps if you use Electrum 1.7 together with older
+versions of Electrum.
+
+* An interactive Python console replaces the 'Wall' tab. The provided
+python environment gives users access to the wallet and gui. Most
+electrum commands are available as python function in the
+console. Custom scripts an be loaded with a "run(filename)"
+command. Tab-completions are available.
+
+* The location of the Electrum folder in Windows changed from
+LOCALAPPDATA to APPDATA. Discussion on this topic can be found here:
+https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144575.0
+
+* Private keys can be exported from within the classic GUI:
+ For a single address, use the address menu (right-click).
+ To export the keys of your entire wallet, use the settings dialog (import/export tab).
+
+* It is possible to create, sign and redeem multisig transaction using the
+command line interface. This is made possible by the following new commands:
+ dumpprivkey, listunspent, createmultisig, createrawtransaction, decoderawtransaction, signrawtransaction
+The syntax of these commands is similar to their bitcoind counterpart.
+For an example, see Gavin's tutorial: https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/3966071
+
+* Offline wallets now work in a way similar to Armory:
+ 1. user creates an unsigned transaction using the online (watching-only) wallet.
+ 2. unsigned transaction is copied to the offline computer, and signed by the offline wallet.
+ 3. signed transaction is copied to the online computer, broadcasted by the online client.
+ 4. All these steps can be done via the command line interface or the classic GUI.
+
+* Many command line commands have been renamed in order to make the syntax consistent with bitcoind.
