Last week saw the 0.5.0-alpha release (and a 0.5.1-alpha bugfix release) of btcwallet, our Bitcoin wallet daemon. This release was largely focused on architectural changes for improved security, privacy, and performance. Highlights of the release include a new wallet database and the introduction of a hierarchical deterministic address manager.
Example BIP0032 hierarchy: All keys for all accounts are deterministically derived from a single seed.
