This release includes the following changes:
- Brings Elements up to date with Bitcoin Core version 22.0. To see the Bitcoin 22.0 release notes please click here.
- Multiple improvements to PSET (Partially-Signed Elements Transactions):
- Updates to the PSET specification (PR #1122).
- Multiple fixes to the PSET implementation (PR #1121, PR #1145, issue #1065).
- New
parsepsbtRPC for testing (PR #1121). - Changes PSET to not blind asset issuances by default (PR #1150).
- Adds fields for explicit input value and assets, and their proofs. Also adds a flag to indicate whether an issuance should be blinded (PR 1157, PR #1165).
- Multiple fixes/improvements to how dynafed parameters are returned in RPC output (PRs #1108, #1111, #1114, issues #1102, #1109).
- The
dumpblindingkeyRPC now accepts non-confidential addresses, if there is a corresponding blinding key (PR #1131). - Fixes a crash in the wallet when handling unusual outputs with blinded assets but unblinded values (PR #1134, issue #1105).
- Fixes a corner case when receiving a block from a peer races with getting the same block from
submitblock, wrongly banning the peer (PR #1085, issue #1084). - Fixes a problem in Windows where Elements would be installed in Bitcoin’s folder instead of its own (PR #869).
(Note: Since Elements 22.0 will be installed in the right location, cleanup of the left over files inProgram Files\Bitcoinmay be required.) - Minor fixes in elements-qt (PR #1146, PR #1154).
- Adds documentation about the format used to serialize Elements transactions (PR #1148).
- The
getnewblockhexRPC accepts an array of commitments instead of a single commitment (PR #1155).
Changes since v22.0:
- Avoids clearing out all the blinding data when dropping change (PR #1172).
- Preserves blinding key when parsing taproot address (PR #1184, issue #1181).
- Looks for the default cookie path to connect to the local bitcoind (PR #1173, issue #1120).
