Changelog

  • New --prune-until <target> option to automatically prune the chain up to the given target (height, unix timestamp or YYYY-MM-DD formatted date)

    Require configuring bitcoind with prune=1 to allow manual pruning via the RPC.

  • New --no-wait-sync option to allow importing addresses without waiting for bitcoind to finish syncing first

    Useful for tracking wallets during the IBD of a pruned node, so transactions could be indexed before the blocks get pruned.

  • Fix compatibility with the upcoming v0.22 Bitcoin Core release (sparrowwallet/sparrow#67 (comment))

  • HTTP: Set the WWW-Authenticate header to make logging-in possible via web browsers

  • Implement an fd-based daemon readiness notification mechanism, enabled with FD_NOTIFY=<fd>

  • Fix whitepaper extractor

  • UX touchups for progress indicator, welcome banner and logs

  • Allow setting UNIX_LISTENER_MODE to control permissions for the unix socket notification listener

  • Allow setting NO_REQUIRE_ADDRESSES as an env variable

Breaking CLI changes:

  • The Electrum SOCKS5-based authentication needs to be explicitly enabled with --electrum-socks-auth,
    in addition to enabling the --auth-* options. By default, authentication will only be enabled for
    the HTTP API server.

Also see the v0.2.3 releases for bwt-electrum-plugin, libbwt, libbwt-nodejs and libbwt-jni.
