version 4.4.3.0
posted on 2023-05-11
* Intentionally break multisig wallets that have heterogeneous master
keys. Versions 4.4.0 to 4.4.2 of Electrum for Android did not check
that master keys used the same script type. This may have resulted
in the creation of multisig wallets that that cannot be spent from
with any existing version of Electrum. It is not sure whether any
users are affected by this; if there are any, we will publish
instructions on how to spend those coins (#8417, #8418).
