The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds the written release notes for Electrum version 4.8.0. It is documentation: it lists what changed in the new version, including one security fix, but it does not change any program code. By itself, this commit does not introduce or fix a vulnerability in the software.

Recommended action

No action needed for this documentation commit. Review the actual code changes for CVE-2012-2459 in PR #10568 separately if assessing that fix.

Merge pull request #10853 from f321x/swapserver_negative_nonce

This patch fixes a small bug in how Electrum checks proof-of-work (PoW) nonces from Nostr swap server announcements. Previously, a missing or negative nonce was treated as having zero PoW, which is correct for missing nonces but the code a…

swaps: handle negative PoW nonce gracefully

This commit fixes a small bug in Electrum's submarine swap feature. When a swap server advertises itself using a Nostr event, the client checks a 'proof-of-work nonce' to verify the server did enough computational work. Before the patch, a…
