• Changed karlsenwallet listen port from 8082 to 9182
• Fixed karlsend and karlsenminer Go traces
• Fixed all stability and integration tests
• Fixed crash in karlsenminer
• Fixed race in gRPC client send, recv and close handler
• Updated Go modules and dependencies

Breaking Changes

With the complete decoupling of Karlsen from Kaspa, we've introduced several changes which may require attention from node operators. If you are using --loglevel to specify different subsystem verbosity levels, you need to switch KASD= to KLSD= otherwise node startup will fail with: The specified subsystem [KASD] is invalid.

Backward Compatibility

Following the recent transition from Kaspa coin type 111111 to Karlsen coin type 121337 - a change already documented on https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md - we're in the process of adopting our specific derivation path. This step is crucial for most integrations that do not operate a node daemon, such as hardware wallets, to ensure address compatibility across different platforms. A unique derivation path is essential for this purpose.

We currently have wallets that use the old coin type, necessitating support for both the legacy and new derivation paths. To facilitate this, a new command line option has been introduced for the create subcommand: -l (short) or --legacy (long). Here's how it functions:

• By default, the command creates or imports a version 2 wallet using the new coin type 121337.
• When the legacy option is invoked, it creates or imports a version 1 wallet with the original coin type 111111.

Although wallets with version 1 will remain operational, migrating KLS to a newly established version 2 wallet is strongly advised for future compatibility with both software and hardware wallets.
