Electrum protocol v1.6 was merged a while ago: spesmilo/electrum-protocol#6
See the docs for changes in the new version:
Changes
-
Breaking change for the version negotiation: we now mandate that the server.version() message must be the first message sent. That is, version negotiation must happen before any other messages.
-
Also for server.version(), the server must tolerate and ignore extraneous arguments, to allow for extensions in future protocol versions.
-
The status of a scripthash has its definition tightened in a backwards-compatible way: mempool txs now have a canonical ordering defined for the calculation (previously their order was undefined).
-
blockchain.scripthash.get_mempool() previously did not define an order for mempool transactions. We now mandate a specific ordering.
-
Optional mode argument added to blockchain.estimatefee().
-
blockchain.block.headers() now returns headers as a list, instead of a single concatenated hex string.
New methods
Removed methods
- blockchain.relayfee() is removed. The minrelaytxfee field of the new mempool.get_info() RPC is a direct replacement.
By now some implementations have made some progress towards shipping support for it (see for example romanz/electrs#1241), so it would be great to add support here, too.
For us (LDK), support for the new blockchain.transaction.broadcast_package is particularly important, as we want to lean on TRUC/v3 transaction relay ASAP.
