+Joinmarket-clientserver 0.9.12:
+=================
+
+<https://github.com/joinmarket-org/joinmarket-clientserver/releases/tag/v0.9.12>
+
+**This is the final release of this implementation of Joinmarket**. The repo will now be archived, meaning there will be no more updates; the releases will be left here for download in case that's useful.
+
+We would advise users of the software to examine the reimplementation at https://github.com/joinmarket-ng/joinmarket-ng. This is **not** a recommendation; use of this or any similar software is your own responsibility.
+
+Upgrading
+=========
+
+To upgrade:
+
+*Reminder: always back up and recreate your joinmarket.cfg file when doing the upgrade; this is to make sure you have the new default settings. In order to recreate it, rename the old joinmarket.cfg and run 'python3 wallet-tool.py generate' from the scripts folder.*
+
+(If you are upgrading from a version pre-0.7.0 please read the "Upgrading" section in [the 0.7.0 release notes](https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/blob/master/docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.7.0.md).)
+
+(If you are upgrading from a version pre-0.9.0 please read the [release notes](https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/blob/master/docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.9.0.md) to find out how about [fidelity bonds](../fidelity-bonds.md) are relevant to your use-case).
+
+First run the `install.sh` script as mentioned in the README. When prompted to overwrite the directory `jmvenv`, accept.
+
+Note that `./install.sh -?` will show the options for installation.
+
+Changes
+===============
+
+### Fix of DOS vector from commitment checking failure
+
+Commitments are supposed to be one-use only but we were not checking
+the format correctly, leading to the possibility of ~ continuous reuse.
+Worse, a motivated attacker that uses this aggressively could retrieve
+lots of utxo information from makers over a long period, which degrades
+Joinmarket's functionality. This was exactly the attack that the taker
+commitments were supposed to thwart.
+
+Shoutout to @m0wer for reporting this one:
+
+* `092b480` Checks case of inbound commitments before comparison.
+
+### Descriptor wallet support
+
+This change is needed to run the software with the most recent
+versions of Bitcoin Core that disable old non-descriptor wallets.
+(Remember, we don't use Bitcoin's wallet for keys/signing, only for
+watch-only; but we do still use it).
+
+* `f3630dc` Support Bitcoin Core descriptor wallets (quick and dirty way)
+
+### General refactoring and minor functionality improvements
+
+* `6e5cdc8` Refactor: move bitcoin unit conversion functions from ob-watcher to jmbitcoin
+* `395050c` Use coins_to_satoshi() and satoshi_to_coins() from bitcointx everywhere
+* `d117791` yieldgenerator: allow change address to be overridden (note that despite the worrying description, it literally just refactors the change address sourcing; by default zero functional change)
+* `f3f4f0a` Multiple (batch) payment support in `direct_send()` (this doesn't actually implement batch payments, but refactors to allow it as a possibility)
+* `904b780` Unify cli user input code where limited range of answers are allowed
+* `861c790` maker: allow receiving more money than promised
+* `865247c` Support payjoin PSBT with multiple sender inputs (Joinmarket's implementation of payjoin did support multiple sender inputs before this, but was not following the BIP78 spec properly for this case, thankfully @spacebear21 identified and fixed this)
+* `f0b0e55` Cache None in tx_cache for non-wallet transactions
+
+
+### Minor bugfixes
+
+* `8eb55be` Handle None enter_seed_callback() response
+* `8798b8b` Redirect back to / after /refreshorderbook and /rotateOb
+* `3317b0b` Fix jm_single().bc_interface.get_deser_from_gettransaction call
+* `100da5e` Handle JsonRpcError in _estimate_fee_basic
+* `053d8a1` Implement mixdepth filtering for showutxos
+
+### RPC-API
+
+* `6469991` RPC-API: Implement message signing
+* `5b47d1c` RPC API endpoint to get wallet rescan status
+* `d615688` Update GetAddressResponse schema to return an object with address property
+
+### Configuration
+
+* `d87e7cb` Replace default directory nodes with currently working ones
+* `b03c5ef` Mark my previous signing key as lost
+* `c416a94` Remove DarkScience IRC network from default config
+* `954dc36` Remove Ilita IRC, re-enable hackint
