Topic: Electrum 4.3.1 Relased (Read 104 times)

People probably overlook this, but it could mean more Linux distro include Electrum on their repository or even include Electrum by default. For those who want to check it, comment on PR[1] shows you only can obtain it from download directory[2].

I downloaded and verified the new version 4.3.1 and yesterday with a Testnet incoming transaction the unconfirmed transaction didn't show up in the transaction history list while waiting to be confirmed and mined into a block (the transaction was visible for several minutes in mempool with a blockchain explorer).
On the other hand the transaction's amount was shown in the pie chart as "unconfirmed" rather quickly (as expected), so Electrum knew about the incoming transaction. Only with the first confirmation the transaction showed up in the transaction history list.

I must say, I don't like this behavior of the present version of the wallet if it wasn't some sort of glitch. I will need to do more testing, though.

Is this intentional? What's your experience with incoming transactions in Electrum 4.3.1?

Edit: must have been some weird glitch yesterday. Today I can't reproduce the observed behavior. Sorry!

Edit2: I made two receive requests in my Testnet wallet, both were "paid" on-chain, both were displayed properly initially as unconfirmed in transaction history list. Both requests though are not shown as paid in the Receive queue and both entries remain there even after restart of the wallet. Electrum wallets pre version 4.3.0 behaved differently:
* a paid receive request was shown as paid with a confirmed transaction to the associated address
* a paid receive request was removed from Receive queue automatically, latest after re-opening of the wallet

(Yes, you can delete the Receive queue entries manually, but it wasn't necessary before to do it manually!)

IMO, it's more of a "hot fix" due to those regressions caused by v4.3.0 update, that's why they've released it ASAP.
Some of them are kind of major bugs that caused crashes.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Looks like a minor release mostly dealing with python updates and some legacy LN support. 

The "source only" tarball is an interesting snippet.  I don't imagine it'll run on it's own, or even in a python environment without the dependencies.  Would it be able to run in a docker container, or is purely for development purposes?

New electrum version is released.

It contains some minor fixes for Lightning network and UI
