See the discussion at https://github.com/wizardsardine/liana/issues/356. +- The `getinfo` result now contains the "descriptor's timestamp": that is the oldest date at which + we scanned the blockchain for coins. +- The `createspend` command now doesn't error anymore on insufficient funds, it instead returns the + missing amount in its result. +- The `listspendtxs` command now accepts a new optional parameter to filter the result by txids. + +#### Liana GUI + +- Support for Coldcard was added. At the time of writing Miniscript support on the Coldcard is only + available on the Edge firmware. +- You can now choose to create a Taproot descriptor in the installer. See + [doc/signing_devices.md](doc/signing_devices.md) for details about the compatibility with hardware + wallets. +- When creating a Spend transaction using automated coin selection (the default), setting the amount + for any recipient to "Max" to sweep all the funds from the wallet to this recipient, minus the + amount set for any other recipients. +- When creating a Spend transaction using manual coin selection, setting the amount of any of the + recipient to "Max" will sweep all the *selected* coins (not all funds in the wallet) to this + recipient, minus the amount set for other recipients. +- The automated coin selection when creating a spend transaction now also considers unconfirmed + coins. +- When creating a Spend transaction, you can now change screen and come back to your draft. The + state does not get cleared as soon as you leave the "Spend" menu anymore. +- We now display warnings to the user when creating a Spend transaction. For instance when the + change output's value was too small that we added it to fees. +- RBF transaction now get automatically labeled. +- Signing a transaction on a hardware device does not hide the transaction details anymore. +- When broadcasting a transaction, the payments are now immediately available on the home page. +- The QR code for deposit address is now shown in a pop-up, which makes it available for all new + addresses a user may generate on the Deposit screen. +- The address QR codes now also contain the derivation index in the URI. +- We now display a warning if a user tries to RBF a transaction whose change output is being spent + by a later transaction. A warning is also displayed when broadcasting a spend if any of the inputs + are currently being spent by another transaction. +- We now directly open the installer when starting Liana on a new datadir. +- The "Backup Descriptor" step was dropped from the installer flow when recovering from a + descriptor. +- A new command line argument was added: `--version`. +- It's now possible to use `` to move between text inputs across the GUI. + +### Fixes + +#### Liana daemon / library + +- We now disallow rescanning from timestamps before the genesis block on test networks too. +- A potential crash was fixed when an immature coinbase transaction contains an output which pays to + our *change* address. +- An off-by-one in address usage detection was fixed. + +#### Liana GUI + +- We now use a user/password to connect to `bitcoind` in the installer, removing the potential for + flakiness due to having to detect the `.cookie` file. +- A crash was fixed in the installer when the user would change the network in step 1 after having + started the managed bitcoind in step 4. +- Errors when triggering a rescan are now correctly displayed. +- In the installer, the details to connect to bitcoind in step 4 are now correctly updated when + changing the network in step 1. +- In the list of PSBTs, the labels are now correctly aligned. + ## 4.0 This release introduces support for bumping the fees of a transaction, verifying a deposit address
