In time.

• Coin renamed to Network; all_coins to all_networks. Those two symbols are deprecated and will be removed in 0.5.
• Network constructor requires names be used
• network.name renamed network.full_name; network.name is now a short name
• networks have new attribtes: BIP65_height, BIP66_height, CSV_height, UAHF_height, DAA_height, genesis_height and magic.
• new symbol networks_by_name

• Script.to_asm(): for truncated scripts it now returns all words up to the truncation point, for which it returns '[script error]' by default, but alternative text can be supplied.
• new API pack_signed_message() related to message signing; this function was previously internal.

• Switch to Open BSV License version 3
• Add a script interpreter. This is extensively tested and I believe it is compatible with bitcoind if passed the appropriate arguments. The API is very likely to change, particularly when I introduce a script debugger.
• Script: new APIs and minor changes needed for the script interpreter
• Cleanup / rewrite of the Signature class for the script interpreter. The API is quite different.
• Tx: supports old-style signature hashing for before the BCH fork
• TxOut: add null() API
• ElectrumMnemonic: - new_to_seed() converts a new-style mnemonic and passphrase to a seed - normalize_new() normalizes a new-style mnemonic - add an Electrum-compatible passphrase mangler
