+# Silkaj v0.12.0 release
+
+I am pleased to announce the stable release of Silkaj version 0.12.0
+
+In this article, the most important changes are highlighted. if you are looking for a comprehensive list of changes, check out the changelog.
+
+## Introduction
+
+The original plan changed, a difficult choice has been made to work on a second development cycle tied to v1 ecosystem, because v2 ecosystem was not fully ready.
+It was worth it for Silkaj project’s growth with huge improvements not tied to v1 nor v2 ecosystems.
+It was difficult to go in a slightly different direction, since all contributors’ energy was directed to v2 ecosystem development.
+Ğcli took over the role as the first CLI client on v2 ecosystem. Silkaj made little progress on v2 ecosystem.
+But, as for v0.11.0, this release also paves the way for implementations based on v2 ecosystem.
+
+This release comes with the account storage implementation which greatly improves the authentication and revocation files management.
+A new documentation website has been set up.
+`money history` command features the comma-separated value (CSV) output file format option.
+The command line interface has seen great improvements such as a usage with colors, a better error output, the shell completion, and a small help option.
+Ğ1 monetary license have been updated, and DeathReaper is now released as part of Silkaj.
+Last but not least, Silkaj comes with minor network optimisations and Python 3.13 support.
+
+This release is the last planned major release with Duniter v1/BMA support.

+
+## Account storage: authentication and revocation files storage improvements
+
+Account storage has been implemented to store authentication and revocation files in a common place organized per account and per currency.
+Therefore, authentication and revocation files generated by Silkaj would no longer lay anywhere on the operating system.
+By default, they used to be saved to and read from current working directory.
+This wrong practice is now behind us.
+In addition the files are now stored with `600` permissions, meaning that only the Unix user who created them are allowed to read and edit them.
+
+Furthermore, a consequent change has been made to restrict the storage to only WIF and EWIF authentication file formats defined in the approved [RFC#13](https://git.duniter.org/documents/rfcs/-/blob/master/rfc/0013_Duniter_Encrypted_Wallet_Import_Format.md).
+It improves the security, by focusing the effort on a single authentication file format for v1 ecosystem.
+v2 ecosystem might bring in an additional file format, which could bring additional confusions.
+
+Therefore, it is no longer possible to authenticate with all the implemented methods.
+The authentication is now restricted to WIF or EWIF authentication files format stored in the account storage.
+`authentication` command the only one still allowing all the implemented authentication methods as input in order to perform the migration.
+To migrate to this new authentication method stored into the account storage, you have to run follow command:
+
+```
+silkaj --account <account_name> authentication <--auth-method>
+```
+
+Based on this new authentication way, you can run commands using (E)WIF authentication from the account storage, i.e.:
+
+```
+silkaj --account <account_name> money balance
+```
+
+For further details, check out the [account storage documentation](../../usage/account_storage.md).
+
+## New documentation website
+
+[Previous website](https://git.duniter.org/websites/silkaj_website), created in 2019 by Attilax, was based on a solution not maintainable over time.
+Its technology couldn’t scale up and integrate markdown documentation from the repository.
+Therefore, its content quickly became outdated.
+In 2020, an [other website solution](https://git.duniter.org/websites/doc_silkaj) based on VuePress was suggested by ManUtopiK which uses markdown documentation.
+This solution wasn’t selected and didn’t went productive mainly because I did not have the full control over it.
+The fact that VuePress is based on JavaScript technologies is a downside to me.
+
+![MkDocs Material icon](../../images/mkdocs-material-favicon.png)
+
+I found out about [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) and the great [Material theme](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/).
+This documentation software based on Python is widely used in Python community.
+I decided to go with this solution which ticked all the check-boxes.
+The initial structure has been set up within the repository.
+Following integration plugins have been set up: Click command line interface documentation, test coverage, GitLab issue and merge requests links which is useful in the changelog.
+A blog contains the releases announcements.
+Continuous deployment has been set up to automatically build and deploy documentation updates to GitLab Pages.
+Mike, a system which allows to display the documentation for multiple major releases of Silkaj have been set up.
+A drop-down allows to select the documentation dedicated to a version. This should, at least, be helpful for Silkaj v0.1x and v0.2x which will greatly differ.
+Finally, a [page](../../contributing/documentation.md) describes how to contribute to the website.
+
+## CSV output on `money history` command
+
+```
+silkaj money history <pubkey> --csv-file history.csv
+```
+
+This command will save the account’s money movements history in the specified file in CSV format (comma-separated value).
+You can then operate the data with a spreadsheet software.
+The output looks as follow:
+
+```{..yaml .no-copy}

+
+## Command line interface
+
+### Rich-click
+
+The command line interface now has a nicer usage interface and looking with colors (missing below) thanks to [`rich-click`](https://github.com/ewels/rich-click), a Click add-on.

+
+### Shell completion
+
+This information has been missed, but Click v8.0 comes with an integrated shell completion feature.
+Therefore, it can be set from Silkaj v0.10.0 onward. To set up the shell completion follow the [shell completion documentation](../../install.md#shell-completion).
+
+### Small help option
+
+In addition to the `--help` option, it is now possible to pass the small help option `-h` to all sub-commands.
+
+## Renaming transfer comment to reference
+
+The free "comment" field in Duniter v1’s Transaction document has been extensively used in a slightly wrong manner.
+Banks use _Payment reference_ term for this field which can be used to refer to a contract number for instance.
+
+It has been decided to rename it in order for the users to think about using it the appropriate way.
+The fields in `money transfer` and `money history` user interface has been renamed to "reference".
+The important change here is `--comment/-c` option from `money transfer` has been renamed to `--reference/-ref`.
+
+## `wot status` command displays precise expiration date of received certifications
+
+For better monitoring of our certifications and to maintain our membership, `wot status` command now displays precise expiration dates of received certifications.
+Previously they were computed and were very imprecise with three months of inaccuracy!
+

+✔: Certification written in the blockchain
+✘: Pending certification, deadline treatment
+```
+
+The expiration date of sent certifications are still computed and should not be really taken into account.
+They were not changed since this is a bit more complex to do with BMA API, and also less important than the received certifications.
+No additional time should be spent on v1 ecosystem, but should instead go to v2 ecosystem :wink:
+
+## Ğ1 monetary license update
+
+German and Catalan new translations have been added to Ğ1 monetary license.
+Spanish and Italian translations have been improved.
+The French copy has been updated to v0.3 which includes rules on how to change the document.
+
+## DeathReaper is now released as part of Silkaj
+
+DeathReaper used to be maintained on a separated `git` branch and only distributed via containers.
+This was made because its main dependency `pydiscourse` is not packaged in Debian repositories.
+This could be a reason to make an update of Silkaj Debian package unnecessary harder.
+
+A solution has been set up to activate `wot exclusions` command only once `pydiscourse` dependency is installed.
+This way, Debian packaging is still possible without having to package `pydiscourse`.
+
+Therefore, DeathReaper has been merged on `main` branch.
+Check out [DeathReaper documentation](../../usage/deathreaper.md) on how to install and use it.
+
+## BMA optimisations
+
+On BMA API, the Web-of-Trust related requests now have an argument to specify whether we passed a public key or an identity username.
+Silkaj is specifying this argument which provides faster replies to the queries.
+
+## Python versions support
+
+This release introduces official support for Python v3.12 and v3.13.
+
+[Pendulum](https://pendulum.eustace.io/) datetime library was lacking maintenance and had no Python v3.13 support.
+I replaced Pendulum with [Arrow](https://arrow.readthedocs.io/).
+Just before Silkaj release, Pendulum v3.1 has been released with Python 3.13 support.
+I reverted back to Pendulum usage.
+
+`request_url()` has been fixed in [DuniterPy v1.2.1](https://git.duniter.org/clients/python/duniterpy/-/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v121-26th-march-2025) to support Python 3.13.
+
+On the other hand, Python v3.7 and v3.8 support have been dropped.
+
+## Development Environment
+
+Ruff replaces `black`, `autoflake`, `pylint`, `isort` and `pyupgrade` pre-commit hooks.
+The latter is written in Rust and is blazing faster compared to the latter.
+
+When publishing a release, the pipeline will automatically create a release page on Silkaj repository.
+
+## Removals
+
+With this release being the last one planned with Duniter v1/BMA support, some commands do not make sense anymore with v2 Substrate ecosystem.
+Therefore `blockchain verify` has been removed from this release.
+`checksum` and `blockchain difficulty` commands will be removed out of next release.
+
+## Outlook
+
+v0.20.0 is planned to be the next release.
+It will be focus onto adding support for Duniter v2 based on Substrate framework.
+Duniter v1/BMA support will be dropped from Silkaj v0.2x branch, while v0.1x will be on maintenance mode until Ğ1 currency switches productively to Duniter v2 ecosystem.
+No new features will be implemented on v0.1x branch.
+v0.20 development cycle might take some time, therefore it is expected to get preview releases.
+
+The migration to v2 ecosystem is planned as follow: The network layer will be adapted to use following APIs: Substrate RPC, and Subsquid indexer via its Hasura GraphQL API.
+Then, it is planned to migrate current features and commands.
+Finally, in a following release new v2 related features will be implemented.
+
+We are looking forward for a better experience with Ğ1 currency migration to v2 ecosystem based on Substrate framework and Subsquid indexer.
+
+Once the porting to Duniter v2 Substrate reaches an interesting point, a v0.30.0 release is planned to implement a GUI based on [Textual](https://www.textualize.io/) framework which run in the terminal, and can also run in a web browser.

+
+The `transaction` command will beforehand check that the comment and recipient’s public key are in right format before it actually prompt for the authentication.

+# Silkaj v0.5.0 release: Let’s certify!
+
+For the [eleventh Libre Currency Meeting (RML)](https://rml.creationmonetaire.info/), I am pleased to announce Silkaj v0.5.0 release.
+
+![](../../images/silkaj_logo.png){ width="200" }
+

+# Silkaj v0.6.0 release: Let’s install
+
+Six months after the previous release, I am pleased to announce Silkaj v0.6.0 for the [twelfth Libre Currency Meeting](https://rml.creationmonetaire.info/).
+
+This release comes with 124 commits including eased installation procedures, multi-recipients transaction, `wot` command view improvements, scrypt authentication set by default, network performances, and much more.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+## User installation eased via PyPI/pip
+
+Installing Silkaj has been a burning issue: Only Fedora users could install Silkaj with the Pyinstaller binary, since that’s where I was building it. The others, would have had to install a development environment with `pyenv` and the Python dependencies in order to make it work.
+
+Thanks to Cebash’s work. Now, we are able to install Silkaj with `pip`, the Python package manager, which retrieves the package from Python Package Indexer (PyPI):
+
+```bash
+pip3 install silkaj --user
+```
+
+## Development environment with Pipenv
+
+We switched from `pyenv+pip` to Pipenv because Pipenv offers a better development environment.
+
+## Transaction
+
+### Multi-recipients transaction
+
+Thanks to cgeek, Silkaj is the first client, besides [Remuniter](https://remuniter.cgeek.fr/#/), able to send multi-recipients transaction.
+This means, that we will be able to transfer money to several recipients within a single transaction.
+To do so, we have to pass recipients’ public keys separated with a colon `:` operator, as follow:
+
+```{..yaml .no-copy}

+Membership expiration due to certification expirations: 2018-12-20
+member: True
+Membership document expiration: 2018-12-31
+Sentry: True

+```
+
+## Scrypt authentication by default
+
+Previously, the authentication method had to be specified.
+Now, when no authentication method is specified, two inputs will be prompted in order to authenticate with the scrypt method.
+You can still specify other authentication methods, with following options:
+
+```{..yaml .no-copy}
+Authentication:
+ for amount, transaction, certification, and generate_auth_file commands
+ - Scrypt is the default authentication method with 4096,16,1 as default values
+    you can specify others values specifying following parameters: -n <N> -r <r> -p <p>
+ - Seed: --auth-seed
+ - File: --auth-file [--file=<path file>], './authfile' will be taken if there is no path specified
+ - WIF: --auth-wif
+```
+
+## Ğtest
+
+A new `--gtest` option has been added to ease the connection to Ğ1-test currency network for testing purposes.
+It uses the official node: https://g1-test.duniter.org.
+
+## Network performances
+
+With this update, Silkaj is retrieving information only once. Before, data was retrieved every time it was needed. Now, once the information has been fetched, it is kept into the memory and reused.
+
+## Python 3.7 support
+
+Silkaj has been tested with Python 3.7. Results show that there has been no issues.
+Python 3.7 has been set as the current version in Pipenv development environment.
+
+## New commands
+
+### License
+
+Originally built for the certification feature, the `license` command allows the consultation of the Ğ1’s license at any time given.
+
+### About
+
+A new command displays information about Silkaj:
+
+```{..yaml .no-copy}

+# Silkaj v0.6.1 release
+
+I am pleased to announce Silkaj v0.6.1 release. This release comes with a major bug fix for transactions with big amounts. It also come with the ability to renew certifications.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+## Bug fix in intermediaries transactions
+
+When sending a transaction with a big amount, there is a limit of forty sources per transaction allowed by Ğ1 protocol. In order to reach a big amount of money with only forty sources, the clients proceed beforehand to change operations to merge more money into fewer sources.
+Since the multi-recipients feature, a regression was introduced, the intermediaries transaction’s recipient were wrong and sent to the recipient of the transaction.
+This release fixes it!
+
+## Certification renewal
+
+Duniter v1.7 now allows to renew certification before their expiration.
+
+This protocol modification is now live on the Ğ1-Test currency since [December 2018](https://forum.duniter.org/t/g1-test-dans-les-choux-rejouage-des-certifications/4192/271?u=moul) in order to check that everything is working fine.
+You can already renew certifications on the Ğ1-Test currency.
+
+This protocol modification will be published on the Ğ1 currency when ready.
+
+Before processing the certification, Silkaj will check if the certification can be renewed.
+In the case of Ğ1, you will be able to renew the certification two months after the previous one. And, on the Ğ1-test, after twelve and half a day.
+
+## Tests on Windows
+
+Silkaj have been installed for the first time on the Windows platform via `pip`. It works!
+There is still fixes needed in order to have Silkaj to work properly.
+
+## Thanks
+
+Thanks to Moul, Galuel, and Bernard.

+# Silkaj v0.7.0 release: DuniterPy, click, transactions history, Debian, website
+
+Six months after the [previous major release](https://forum.duniter.org/t/silkaj-v0-6-0-release-let-s-install/4858/1), I am pleased to announce the release of Silkaj v0.7.0 for the [thirteenth Free Currency Meeting](http://rml13.creationmonetaire.info/).
+
+This release comes with 157 commits, the migration to DuniterPy and Click, the display of transaction history, the packaging into Debian Buster and Ubuntu 19.04, and a new website.
+
+Those two migrations bring few new features as the goal was to migrate to better libraries while keeping the same functionalities.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+## DuniterPy migration
+
+![](../../images/duniterpy_logo.png){ width="150" }
+
+[DuniterPy](https://git.duniter.org/clients/python/duniterpy) is a Python library which implements methods to request from and send information to the Duniter nodes. It also has authentication methods to sign documents such as transactions and certifications. DuniterPy was initially written for the Sakia client. Silkaj and Sakia are now sharing the same common code. The migration to DuniterPy was tough, but it was worth it: It will allow the implementation of new features in future versions.
+
+There were many challenges: keeping the same functionalities, making Silkaj’s code asynchronous, and replacing the authentication and the network code by the ones implemented in DuniterPy. One struggling issue was that the [intermediaries transactions were no longer working](https://git.duniter.org/clients/python/silkaj/issues/178), because, the equality method of the transaction output source was not implemented, as they used to be stored in a string and are now stored into an `OutputSource` object. So, the equality had to be implemented.
+
+Check-out [DuniterPy versions from v0.50.0 to v0.54.1](https://forum.duniter.org/t/duniterpy-evolution-de-la-bibliotheque-python/5127) to follow the evolution of DuniterPy. These versions were specially made for Silkaj. In the future, following functionalities are planned: sending identity, membership, and revocation documents, the usage of authentication methods implemented in DuniterPy, and the usage of the planned GVA API.
+
+## Click migration
+
+[![](../../images/click_logo.png){ width="200" }](https://click.palletsprojects.com/)
+
+Since Debian Buster freeze was going to happen very soon and [`commandlines`](https://github.com/chrissimpkins/commandlines) library wasn’t packaged into Debian, the migration to [Click](https://click.palletsprojects.com/) “_Command Line Interface Creation Kit_” had to be done quickly. I decided to migrate to this really nice library, since it is much more maintained, comes with a better code, and is less buggy. Here you can see the new command line interface:
+
+```{..yaml .no-copy}
+Usage: silkaj [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
+
+Options:
+  -h, --help               Show this message and exit.
+  -v, --version            Show the version and exit.
+  -p, --peer TEXT          Default endpoint will reach Ğ1 currency with
+                           `https://g1.duniter.org` endpoint. Custom endpoint
+                           can be specified with `-p` option followed by
+                           <domain>:<port>
+  -gt, --gtest             ĞTest: `https://g1-test.duniter.org` endpoint
+  --auth-scrypt, --scrypt  Scrypt authentication: default method
+  --nrp TEXT               Scrypt parameters: defaults N,r,p: "4096,16,1"
+  -af, --auth-file         Authentication file. Defaults to: './authfile'
+--file TEXT              Path file specification with '--auth-file'
+                           [default: authfile]
+  --auth-seed, --seed      Seed hexadecimal authentication
+  --auth-wif, --wif        WIF and EWIF authentication methods
+
+Commands:
+  about     Display program information
+  argos     Display currency information formatted for Argos or BitBar
+  authfile  Generate authentication file
+  balance   Get wallet balance
+  blocks    Display blocks: default: 0 for current window size
+  cert      Send certification
+  diffi     Display the current Proof of Work difficulty level to generate...
+  history   Display transaction history
+  id        Find corresponding identity or pubkey from pubkey or identity
+  info      Display information about currency
+  license   Display Ğ1 license
+  net       Display network view
+  tx        Send transaction
+  wot       Check received and sent certifications and consult the...
+```
+
+The command line interface has changed. General parameters (options and arguments) should be placed in between the command and the sub-command. Specific parameters should be placed after the sub-command.
+
+```{..yaml .no-copy}
+silkaj --gtest --auth-file tx --amount 5 --output <pubkey>
+```
+
+For instance, in previous command `--gtest` and `--auth-file` are general parameters, where `--amount` and `--output` are specific parameters separated by `tx` sub-command.
+
+You can display general parameters with `silkaj --help` and specific parameters with `silkaj tx --help` for instance.
+
+## CLI changes
+
+- `issuers`, `amount`, and `generate_auth_file` commands have been respectively renamed to `blocks`, `balance`, and `authfile`.
+- The long sub-commands `certification`, `transaction`, `network`, `identities` have been removed. Now the small ones have to be used: `cert`, `tx`, `net`, `id`.
+- `blocks` defaults to `0` which stands for the current windows size and now has a limit of 5.000 blocks as set by BMA.
+- `balance`: public keys separator does no longer use colons `:`, it uses spaces instead.
+- Additionally, there are the new smaller authentication options: `--scrypt`, `-af`, `--seed`, `--wif`, without the `--auth` prefix.
+
+You might discover other breaking changes. For more details regarding these changes check out [this list](https://git.duniter.org/clients/python/silkaj/issues/77#breaking-changes).
+
+## Transaction history
+
+It is now possible to display the transactions history of a wallet:
+
+```{..yaml .no-copy}
+silkaj history GfKERHnJTYzKhKUma5h1uWhetbA8yHKymhVH2raf2aCP --uids
+
+Transactions history from: moul GfKERHnJTYzKhKUma5h1uWhetbA8yHKymhVH2raf2aCP
+Current balance: 17296.86 Ğ1, 1717.66 UD Ğ1 on the 2019-05-12 13:32:30

+## Debian and Ubuntu package
+
+[![](../../images/debian_logo.svg){ width="100" }](https://packages.debian.org/buster/silkaj)
+
+Silkaj v0.6.5 was packaged for Debian Buster v10, which is planned te be released on July 6th 2019. This package greatly benefits all Debian-based distributions. Moreover, Silkaj was also added into Ubuntu 19.04 repository, which was published on March 2019. For more details check-out [where Silkaj was included into the Debian-based distributions](https://repology.org/project/silkaj/versions). Silkaj v0.6.5 now comes with Click migration, auto-completion, and bug fixes, however it does not include DuniterPy migration and v0.7.0 features.
+
+You can install Silkaj with following command:
+
+```
+sudo apt install silkaj
+```
+
+This work have been made possible thanks to jonas, a Debian developer.
+
+## Proof-of-Work difficulty level
+
+Since we are using DuniterPy which includes WebSocket management, this latter can be used to improve the network connection. Previously, Silkaj was sending queries every five seconds to check if a new block was added to the blockchain. Now, Silkaj gets a notification every time a new block is appended to the blockchain. This improvement dramatically reduces traffic network.
+
+To better monitor the network, the header was improved and now displays current block’s number and its date of generation:
+
+```{..yaml .no-copy}
+Current block: n°219981, generated on the 2019-05-12 14:36:35
+Generation of next block n°219982 possible by at least 31/44 members
+Common Proof-of-Work difficulty level: 89, hash starting with `00000[0-6]*`
+```
+
+## New website
+
+[![](../../images/silkaj_website_screenshot.png)](https://silkaj.duniter.org/)
+
+At the beginning of the project, a simple [website](https://silkaj.duniter.org/) was made.
+Since then, Silkaj evolved and have brought new features which should be reflected on the website.
+
+More content was added to the website, which now has three pages: a main one, one for the features and the other one for the installation.
+
+Attilax worked to give the website a new black style, to make it looks like a terminal.
+He also translated it in French which makes the website available in two languages.
+
+## Thanks

+- [Install and upgrade documentation](../../install.md)
+
+## Future development cycles
+
+Future releases will add new features based on DuniterPy such as [new authentication methods](https://git.duniter.org/clients/python/silkaj/issues/173) as well as being able to send WoT documents: [identity publication](https://git.duniter.org/clients/python/silkaj/issues/90), [membership publication and renewal](https://git.duniter.org/clients/python/silkaj/issues/88), and [revocation](https://git.duniter.org/clients/python/silkaj/issues/89). It is also planned to use features brought by Click usage, to set-up a CI/CD pipeline, and locking the code with tests.

+## Call for testing Silkaj v0.9.0rc
+
+Hello everyone!
+
+We are pleased to publish a release candidate of Silkaj v0.9.0, and we would be happy to receive feedback before releasing it as a stable version.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+To install this pre-release version from PyPI, use this command:
+
+```
+pip3 install silkaj --user --upgrade --pre
+```
+
+Please test it globally, and check the changelog which contains the changes which happen during this development cycle.
+Pay a special attention to the transaction part where a part of the algorithm changed.
+There are new options on following commands:
+
+```{ ..yaml .no-copy }
+silkaj history --full-pubkey
+silkaj --dry-run cert
+silkaj --dry-run/--display membership
+```
+
+Dry-run and display options are defined as general options, and only defined for this three cases for this release.
+
+# Tests
+
+Manual tests help us making sure everything works fine for different cases.
+Here are some tests we think are necessary.
+Make sure you test on Ğ1-Test network to avoid any loss of money.
+
+## `tx`
+
+- send a TX to a unique recipient
+- send a TX to multiple recipients
+    - with one amount
+    - with multiple amounts
+- send a TX to 92 recipients (can be 92 times the same)
+- send a TX to 93 recipients (should fail)
+
+## `membership`
+
+- renew membership with `--dry-run` global option
+- renew membership with `--display` global option
+- renew membership without these two options
+
+## `cert`
+
+- send a certification with `--display` global option
+- cert all identities you can on GTest network (thanks for keeping it alive ;-) )
+- cert pubkey `4KEA63RCFF7AXUePPg5Q7JX9RtzXjywai1iKmE7LcoEC:DRz` on Ğ1-Test -> you should be suggested two identities
+- cert identity `ggg_ggg_2` on Ğ1-Test -> you should NOT be proposed many identities
+
+## `history`
+
+- check you history
+- check you history and display userIDs
+- check you history and display pubkeys in full-length
+- check you history and display userIDs and pubkeys in full-length
+
+## `wot`
+
+- check your WoT infos are correct with `wot` command
+
+## `checksum`
+
+- use `checksum` command to compute a checksum for one of your public keys.
+- verify it with Silkaj
+- verify it with Cesium
+- try to change a character in the public key (with the checksum), then verify that it is wrong.
+
+## auth
+
+- create an authfile for a Ğ1-Test account
+- send txs or certs using the authfile
+
+## Other
+
+Feel free to play!
+
+______________________________________________________________________

+
+<!-- more -->
+
+#### Transaction
+
+Silkaj is now properly handling the transaction document size limit.
+The 100 lines limit length of the transaction document in the compact format is now properly fulfilled by computing the length of the generated document.
+
+An important bug has been fixed regarding intermediaries transactions:
+When spending lots of sources (i.e. huge amounts from member wallets), many useless intermediaries transactions were sent and displayed. Intermediaries transactions are now correctly handled.
+
+Unit tests have been written on the `tx` command, which comforts us into developing new features.
+
+#### Refactored `id`/`lookup` command
+
+The `id` command has been completely refactored. It now offers comprehensive results when looking for an identity by specifying a user identifier or a public key.
+Now the non-member user identifier are displayed.
+The command now uses same algorithm as `choose_identity()` which relies exclusively on `/wot/lookup` BMA's path.
+The command has been renamed to `lookup` to represent more closely what it does. This command renaming will also allow to introduce the future `identity` command.
+
+```{ ..yaml .no-copy }
+silkaj lookup titi
+Public keys or user id found matching 'titi':

+```
+
+#### New `--full-pubkey` option on the `history` command
+
+The `history` command adds a new option to display the whole public keys `--full-pubkey`:
+
+```{ ..yaml .no-copy }
+silkaj -gt history 5B8iMAzq1dNmFe3ZxFTBQkqhq4fsztg1gZvxHXCk1XYH --full-pubkey
+
+Transactions history from: moul-test 5B8iMAzq1dNmFe3ZxFTBQkqhq4fsztg1gZvxHXCk1XYH:baK

+
+#### Display option on `cert`, `membership` commands
+
+This general option allows to display the generated document aside of the confirmation prompt before sending the document.
+It can be used for debugging, safety, or curiosity purposes.
+This option has only been implemented on the `cert` and the `membership` commands for now.
+The option should be available in next releases for the three others send-documents commands.

+
+#### Dry Run option is becoming a generic option
+
+Before:
+
+```{ ..yaml .no-copy }
+silkaj membership --dry-run
+```
+
+Now:
+
+```{ ..yaml .no-copy }
+silkaj --dry-run membership
+```
+
+Note: This option is currently only implemented in the `membership` command.
+
+Note: The difference between the `--display` and the `--dry-run` options are that the dry run option by-passes the license, and the confirmation approvals.
+For safety reasons, the `--dry-run` option doesn't allow, at the end, to send the document on the network.
+On contrary, the `--display` option allows to send the document to the network.
+
+#### Python support
+
+Support for Python 3.5 has been dropped and support for Python 3.9 has been added.
+
+#### Silkaj v0.8.1 in Debian Bullseye
+
+If you are a user of Debian or its derivatives, you will be able to find Silkaj v0.8.1 available into Debian Bullseye (v11) which is about to be released.
+Silkaj package has been updated from v0.6.5 to v0.8.1 and DuniterPy v0.60.1 entered Debian repository for the first time.
+
+#### Outlook
+
+In the next developments, we are planning to work on DeathReaper, the implementations of the `revoke` and the `identity` commands.
+The removal of the asynchronous property, the migration from `tabulate` to `Texttable`, and the migration from BMA to GVA.
