Change History

psf-bch-wallet v2 became too large in scope and as a result the code base grew too complex. The code was also stuck in CommonJS format. Version 3 uses ESM format, and strives to create a much simpler code base, which can be forked to add on new use-cases and thereby grow in scope in a more controlled fashion.

v2 also used the oclif CLI framework, which no longer provides good support for JavaScript-native software. v3 has switched to the Commander.js library.
