We’ve released Electrum-NMC v3.3.9.1. This release (which is still based on upstream Electrum v3.3.8) includes a few high-demand new features and bug fixes that we wanted to get released before upstream Electrum tags v4.0.0.

Here’s what’s new since v3.3.8:

  • From upstream Electrum:
    • Build script fixes backported from Electrum v4.0.0.
  • Namecoin-specific:
    • Features:
      • Add DNS builder GUI based on Namecoin Core. (Patch by Jeremy Rand; based on a Namecoin Core patch by Brandon Roberts.)
      • Add more servers. (Patches by Jeremy Rand; thanks to deafboy, ccomp, and s7r for running the servers.)
      • Allow pausing network on startup; unpause via an RPC command (mostly relevant for Tor Browser integration). (Patch by Jeremy Rand; thanks to Georg Koppen and mjgill89 for reporting Tor Browser issue; thanks to SomberNight for brainstorming solutions.)
      • Update checkpoint. (Patch by Jeremy Rand.)
    • Bug fixes:
      • Return correct error code when looking up nonexistent names. Fixes issue where ncdns was recognizing this error as SERVFAIL instead of NXDOMAIN. (Patch by Jeremy Rand; thanks to Georg Koppen for reporting Tor Browser issue.)
      • Fix connectivity issues that could cause slow syncup or syncup getting stuck completely (these bugs were related to the stream isolation and parallel chain download patches). (Patches by Jeremy Rand; thanks to Georg Koppen, mjgill89, and s7r for reporting issues.)
      • Fix minor error handling bugs in name registration GUI and name_show RPC command. (Patches by Jeremy Rand; thanks to s7r for reporting issues.)
      • Add some additional AuxPoW checks. (Patches by Jeremy Rand.)
      • Disable stream-isolated server pool if in oneserver mode (fixes a privacy leak). (Patch by Jeremy Rand; thanks to s7r for reporting issue.)
      • Fix missing help text for name_show RPC command. (Patch by Jeremy Rand.)
      • Fix missing locale data in Python binaries. (Patch by Jeremy Rand.)
