Support Electrum protocol v1.6

[tnull]

The Electrum protocol v1.6 was just merged. See the docs for changes in the new version:

Changes

• Breaking change for the version negotiation: we now mandate that the server.version() message must be the first message sent. That is, version negotiation must happen before any other messages.

• Also for server.version(), the server must tolerate and ignore extraneous arguments, to allow for extensions in future protocol versions.

• The status of a scripthash has its definition tightened in a backwards-compatible way: mempool txs now have a canonical ordering defined for the calculation (previously their order was undefined).

• blockchain.scripthash.get_mempool() previously did not define an order for mempool transactions. We now mandate a specific ordering.

• Optional mode argument added to blockchain.estimatefee().

• blockchain.block.headers() now returns headers as a list, instead of a single concatenated hex string.

New methods

• blockchain.transaction.broadcast_package() to broadcast a package of transactions (submitpackage).

• mempool.get_info() to get more detailed and general relayfee info.

Removed methods

• blockchain.relayfee() is removed. The minrelaytxfee field of the new mempool.get_info() RPC is a direct replacement.

It would be great if electrs could support the new features very soon. For us (LDK), support for the new blockchain.transaction.broadcast_package is particularly important, as we want to lean on TRUC/v3 transaction relay via Electrum ASAP.
