Incompatible Changes

This is a Beta! You are on the bleeding edge! And part of that is that this release requires RECOVERING FROM SEED, if you used a previous version. We have greatly increased the security and privacy of the encrypted wallet.dat on your disk. Everything is now "encrypted as fuck", EAF, which is a new industry term.

To achive the new EAF status, we must ask people to recover from seed, and also your old Addressbook will not migrate! Sorry! This is the pain of living on the bleeding edge. We do not expect to do this again any time soon, and it it truly is worth it to get the extreme security and performance improvements. If devs had to write the code to make migration work, it would take a really long time. We would rather give you awesome new code now.

Encrypted As Fuck

The original ZecWallet codebase does not encrypt most of the data in wallet.dat, only private keys. Notably, this does not include transaction data, including addresses and amounts. This is very bad in light of chain analysis platforms being able to insert wallet.dat files to their platform.

We have now fully encrypted every bit of data in Hush wallet.dat files, far surpassing the "at rest" privacy and security of any other Zcash Protocol coin lite wallet.

Additionally, ZecWalletLite codebase decrypts the wallet.dat on startup, and leaves it decrypted for the entirety of
program execution, on disk, then encrypts on exit. Hush developers also felt this could use improvement, so SDL wallet.dat is not left in plaintext on disk during the entire time the wallet is open.
