 python-bitcoinlib release notes
 ===============================
 
+v0.4.0
+======
+
+Major fix: OpenSSL 1.0.1k rejects non-canonical DER signatures, which Bitcoin
+Core does not, so we now canonicalize signatures prior to passing them to
+OpenSSL. Secondly we now only generate low-S DER signatures as per BIP62.
+
+API changes that might break compatibility with existing code:
+
+* MAX_MONEY is now a core chain parameter
+* MainParams now inherits from CoreMainParams rather than CoreChainParams
+* str(<COutPoint>) now returns hash:n format; previously was same as repr()
+* RawProxy() no longer has _connection parameter
+
+Notable bugfixes:
+
+* MsgSerializable.to_bytes() no longer clobbers testnet params
+* HTTPS RPC connections now use port 443 as default
+* No longer assumes bitcoin.conf specifes rpcuser
+
+New features:
+
+* New RPC calls: dumpprivkey, importaddress
+* Added P2P support for msg_notfound and msg_reject
+* Added support for IPv6 addr messages
+
+
