# Liana daemon and GUI release notes
|
||||
|
||||
## 0.4
|
||||
|
||||
This fourth release brings support for descriptors with multiple recovery path as well as several
|
||||
usability improvements in the GUI around signing devices management, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
### Features
|
||||
|
||||
- We now support having multiple recovery path in a descriptor.
|
||||
- We now support more general descriptors: multisigs in the primary or any of the recovery paths
|
||||
henceforth aren't required to use `multi()` anymore and the maximum number of keys per spending
|
||||
path is thereby lifted.
|
||||
|
||||
#### GUI-specific
|
||||
|
||||
- You can now re-register the descriptor on a hardware signing device in the settings.
|
||||
- You can now change the alias of each of the signers from the settings panel.
|
||||
- At signing time we now warn you if the descriptor is not registered on the signing device.
|
||||
- The signer alias is now displayed along with its type when signing.
|
||||
- You can now connect to a running daemon without having to provide a path to its configuration,
|
||||
provided it is using the default location for its data directory (or `--datadir` is used).
|
||||
- The GUI will now log to a `installer.log` file at the root of the datadir during installation, and
|
||||
to a `<network>/liana-gui.log` when running. In case of crash, this will contain a backtrace.
|
||||
- During installation we now check the connection to bitcoind.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
- We won't error when parsing of descriptor with a 1-of-N multisig as primary path.
|
||||
- We won't error at startup if our watchonly wallet is loading on bitcoind. Instead, we'll wait for
|
||||
completion of the previous loading attempt.
|
||||
|
||||
#### GUI-specific
|
||||
|
||||
- Blank addresses aren't treated as duplicates when creating a transaction.
|
||||
|
||||
## 0.3.1
|
||||
|
||||
A patch release for a serious bug fix in the GUI installer.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
#### GUI-specific
|
||||
|
||||
- Under very specific conditions the GUI installer would not store the mnemonic words corresponding
|
||||
to a hot key that was used in the descriptor, nor present it to the user for backup.
|
||||
|
||||
## 0.3
|
||||
|
||||
A small release which brings some fixes as well as the possibility to use Liana as a "hot wallet".
|
||||

||||

For now, only the Ledger and Specter DIY signing devices are supported, as Miniscript compatibility

of the signer is a must. We expect more signing devices to implement Miniscript capability. For more
|
||||
information, please read the [signing devices documentation](./doc/signing_devices.md).

If you are using the GUI, it should be intuitive what menu to use depending on your intention. If it
|

is not, bug reports are very welcome so [feel free to report it](https://github.com/wizardsardine/liana/issues)! :)

## Ledger
|
||||
|
||||
Only the latest version of the Bitcoin application (with full Miniscript descriptors support) is
|
||||
supported. This is version 2.1.0.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately the 2.1.0 Bitcoin application comes with a breaking change of the interface. Its
|
||||
[rollout was paused](https://twitter.com/salvatoshi/status/1610663029913313280) due to compatibility
|
||||
issues with existing applications. Since then the application is not available through the regular
|
||||
app store channel anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
Its rollout was later [resumed **on testnet only**](https://twitter.com/salvatoshi/status/1612432385013956617).
|
||||
In order to be able to install the latest Bitcoin testnet application from Ledger Live, first go to
|
||||
settings (top-right corner on the home screen), then "Experimental features" and tick "Developer
|
||||
mode". You will then be available to install the "Bitcoin test" application from the "My ledger"
|
||||
panel.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to be able to install the latest Bitcoin application on mainnet, one more step is required.
|
||||
Go to "settings" (top-right corner), then "Experimental features", enable "My Ledger provider" and
|
||||
insert "4" in the field. You may then go to "My Ledger" and install the 2.1.0 Bitcoin application
|
||||
for mainnet. *Do not* download any other app from the provider 4. **Make sure to disable** the "My
|
||||
Ledger provider" setting once you installed the Bitcoin app.
|
||||
|
||||
It's worth noting that although you need to tweak with the "Experimental features" settings, the
|
||||
Bitcoin application is not experimental anymore. It was just downgraded in Ledger live from released
|
||||
to experimental in order to prevent people from upgrading by mistake and not be able to keep using
|
||||
applications not compatible with the new interface. It is however not safe to use it for installing
|
||||
any other application.
|
||||
Minimum supported version of the Bitcoin application is 2.1.0 (the first version to have full
|
||||
Miniscript descriptors support).
