Note that this will probably be the last release supporting Python 3.5 or lower.
Includes a few notable improvements to Qt as well as a few quite important back-end bugfixes. Upgrading is recommended as soon as possible.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/joinmarket-org/joinmarket-clientserver/issues
To upgrade:
If you are upgrading from a version pre-0.6.2 then please see the section "Move user data to home directory" in
the 0.6.2 release notes,
and follow the instructions there (except the commitmentlist file - that can actually
be left alone, the previous release notes were wrong on this point).
First run the install.sh script as mentioned in the README. When prompted to overwrite the directory jmvenv, accept.
Reminder: Python 3 is required; Python 2 is no longer supported as it reached EOL.
Note that ./install.sh -? will show the options for installation.
While this change is very minor, it can cause confusion if un-noticed. Previously the wallet was kept single access with a file, named wallet.jmdat.lock (or *.lock where * was whatever your wallet name is). Since this could result in accidental deletion of the wallet via tab completion, it was decided to change this to .*.lock - note that many file system explorers/commands will hide this file by default as it's considered of a 'hidden' type. As a reminder, this file must be deleted in cases where there was a system or program crash (you are reminded of this in case it happens).
92f12ab Change lock filename from wallet.jmdat.lock to .wallet.jmdat.lock
This allows users to use BIP21 URIs instead of addresses both in the command line and JoinmarketQt. In JoinmarketQt you can simply paste the URI into the "address" field in the "single join" tab under "Coinjoins", and it will be read and interpreted. Note this is not yet supporting BIP78 (the pj= parameter) - the Payjoin referred to in the commit below is the Joinmarket-wallet-only protocol implemented already. The BIP78 new PayJoin standard is not yet merged, see this pull request).
4eced50 Add BIP21 support for Payjoin
faaf51e Add BIP21 bitcoin payment URI support to sendpayment.py
a539345 Implement BIP21 in GUI
This feature is not yet enabled in the software, but the Joinmarket wallet now supports both sending to timelocked outputs and to burn outputs. This will be enabled as and when the Joinmarket protocol supports it. See here for details.

For some time this bug resulted in bots silently ignoring commitments being broadcast in public by other bots (via !hp2 messages). Whilst
this did not impact coinjoin functioning, it may have erroneously allowed more usages of PoDLE commitments than intended. Removing the reference to jm_single() fixes this.
6d87322 Remove jm_single config var call from jmdaemon
This includes a change in default minimum size for yieldgenerators, the ability to query software version with the --version flag, and an occasionally important improvement in tumbler behaviour: sometimes attempts to broadcast transactions fail due to 'mempool conflict' (one of the inputs provided by a maker, is already spent). But the algorithm was treating this case very wrongly: it was assuming that the cause of the stalling was that some counterparty responded wrongly (e.g. not sending a signature), and so was re-attempting the transaction with all counterparties who did respond; this basically ensured repeated failure, because whatever input was already spent, is of course, always already spent. Instead after this fix, the bot will try again with new counterparties.

Previous to this change, we could get a crash and hang of the process in some cases, if the RPC connection to Core failed, such as when Bitcoin Core stops running, or a network disconnect. After these changes we at least get a clear error message and a shutdown of the Joinmarket bot. In the future, this might be extended to support having the Joinmarket program simply wait until the connection comes back up, but there are some open questions around that.

0c73074 Close wallet when WalletService is stopped.
In some cases when an RPC connection to a synced instance of Bitcoin Core is not available, it may be useful for users to be able to see, for example, wallet addresses, or other wallet info such as the seed. This is now supported by setting the blockchain_source field of the BLOCKCHAIN section to no-blockchain. (Note: this option existed already, but it previous to this change only allowed the running of the ob-watcher.py script; now it also allows these other things).

There are many commits less of interest to users, relating to: documentation, testing, and minor bugfixes:
These commits principally add extensive testing and appropriate exception raising for our bitcoin amount parsing.

Initial fee guess no longer picks up value from the --txfee option, this was a minor bug in that it could end up printing out nonsense
warnings if you used a high value for --txfee (which you certainly might, to set the fee in sats/kbyte):
ec2fd72 Change initial fee guess logic in taker scripts
Fix for both Qt and CLI, taker side: Don't let user try to use a makercount that conflicts with their own config settings (quit early instead of realise it halfway through the join, which could cost both time and commitments):
