Liana v8.0: Improved Setup Process, New Templates, BitBox02 Support
Liana is a Bitcoin wallet that uses miniscript output descriptors, with extensive use of relative timelocks (OP_CSV). It features a timelocked recovery path for all your coins and can be used for inheritance, decaying multisigs and generally safer backups. Available on Windows, Mac and Linux.
- This release introduces support for Taproot descriptors on Bitbox02 devices and includes a new installation process with setup templates and examples. Additionally, the wallet's syncing state display has been reworked.
"The user interface of the policy selection and keys setup was greatly improved, while adding a new exciting functionality which will help users decide which is the best configuration for them: wallet templates. Version 8 brings also a significant refinement in the syncing flow and communication when opening a wallet, the integration of BitBox Taproot support and other meaningful additions. We hope you’ll enjoy trying it and you’ll give us feedback," was announced in a blog post.
NOTE: "Running Liana v8 on an existing installation will migrate its database. Once migrated the database won't be compatible with previous versions of Liana."
- The Minimum Supported Rust Version for the GUI software has been updated to 1.71.1. This change was necessary to accommodate the new Bitbox02 Rust client version.
"If you have any feedback or template to suggest, feel free to hit us up in our Discord or Telegram groups!"
