+ChangeLog
+=========
+
+IMPORTANT: version 1.2 changes script hash indexing in the database,
+so you will need to rebuild your databases from scratch.  Running this
+version will refuse to open the DB and not corrupt it, so you can
+revert to 1.1.x if you wish.  The initial synchronisation process
+should be around 10-15% faster than 1.1, owing to this change and
+Justin Arthur's optimisations from 1.1.1.
+
+Version 1.2.1
+-------------
+
+- remove IRC support.  Most coins had empty IRC channels.  Those that
+  don't have peers populated.
+- use estimatesmartfee RPC call if available (SomberNight)
+- new/updated coins: Emercoin (Sergii Vakula), Bitcoin Gold (erasmospunk),
+  Monacoin testnet (Wakiyama P), sibcoin (53r63rn4r), Komodo and Monaize
+  (cipig), Hush (Duke Leto)
+- doc updates (fr3aker)
+- issues fixed: `#302`_
+
+Version 1.2
+-----------
+
+- separate P2PKH from P2PK entries in the history and UTXO databases.
+  These were previously amalgamated by address as that is what
+  electrum-server used to do.  However Electrum didn't handle P2PK
+  spends correctly and now the protocol admits subscriptions by script
+  hash there is no need to have these merged any more.
+
+For Bitcoin (BitcoinSegwit/mainnet) you can download a leveldb database
+synced up to block 490153 using this bittorrent magnet
+`link (~24GB) <magnet:?xt=urn:btih:caa804f48a319b061be3884ac011656c27121a6f&dn=electrumx_1.2_btc_leveldb_490153>`_.
+
+Version 1.1.2
+-------------
+
+- PEER_DISCOVERY environment variable is now tri-state (fixes
+  `#287`_).  Please check your setting as its meaning has changed
+  slightly.
+- fix listunspent protocol methods to remove in-mempool spends (fixes
+  `#277`_).
+- improved environment variable handling
+- EMC2 update (cipig), Monacoin update (cryptocoin-junkey),
+  Canada Ecoin (koad)
+- typo fixes, Bitcoin testnet peers updates (SomberNight)
+
+Version 1.1.1
+-------------
+
+- various refactorings, improvement of env var handling
+- update docs to match
+- various optimizations mainly affecting initial sync (Justin Arthur)
+- Dash fixes (cipig)
+- Add ALLOW_ROOT option (Luke Childs)
+- Add BitZeny support, update Monacoin (cryptocoin-junkey)
+
+Version 1.1
+-----------
+
+See the changelogs below for recent changes.  The most important is
+that for mainnet bitcoin **NET** must now be *mainnet* and you must
+choose a **COIN** from *BitcoinCash* and *BitcoinSegwit*.  Similarly
+for testnets.  These coins will likely diverge further in future so
+it's best they become separate coins now.
+
+- no longer persist peers, rediscover on restart
+- onion peers only reported if can connect; hard-coded exception removed
+- small fix for blockchain.transaction.broadcast
+
+Version 1.1pre2
+---------------
+
+- peerdisc: handle protocol 1.1 server replies
+- issue `#251`_: fix protocol version reported in server.peers.subscribe
+- fix handling of failed transaction broadcast
+- fix typos (SomberNight)
+- doc and test updates
+- dash: return errors in JSON error field for protocol 1.1
+
+Version 1.1pre1
+---------------
+
+Many changes, mostly to prepare for support of Electrum protocol 1.1
+which the next Electrum client release will use.
+
+*NOTE*: the **COIN** environment variable is now mandatory, and if you
+were running for any bitcoin flavour (Cash, Segwit, mainnet or
+testnet) you will need to update your **COIN** and **NET** environment
+variable settings as the old ones will no longer work.
+
+- implement protocol version 1.1 and update protocol documentation
+- rework lib/coins.py for the various bitcoin flavours
+- show protocol version in "sessions" ElectrumX RPC call
+- permit **HOST** envvar to be a comma-separated list
+- daemon abstraction refactoring (erasmospunk)
+- permit alternative event loop policies (based on suggestion / work
+  of JustinTArthur)
+- misc configuration updates (SubPar)
+- add Neblio support (neblioteam) and Bitbay (anoxxxy)
+- HOWTO.rst update for running on privileged port (EagleTM)
+- issues closed: exclude test dirs from installation (`#223`_).
+
+Version 1.0.17
+--------------
+
+- fix #227 introduced in 1.0.16
+
+Version 1.0.16
+--------------
+
+- updated server lists for post-fork.  If you are on the Segwit chain
+  you should have NET be "bitcoin-segwit", and if on the Bitcoin Cash chain
+  continue to use "mainnet".
+- binding address fix for multi-homed machines (mmouse)
+- listen to IPv4 and IPv6 local interfaces
+- add Fujicoin (fujicoin), Crown (Extreemist), RegTest (RCasatta),
+  Monacoin (cryptocoin-junkey)
+- bug fixes and updates (Kefkius, mmouse, thesamesam, cryptocoin-junkey,
+  jtarthur)
+
+Version 1.0.15
+--------------
+
+- split server networks faster if a fork is detected
+- minor speedup
+- add Vertcoin support (erasmospunk)
+- update Faircoin (thokon00)
