First of all, developers reconsidered multiple Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs), i.e. the commands the operator sends to the system. Mostly, new and upgraded RPCs are responsible for the transaction logic, wallet performance and advanced types of encryption.
Creating empty wallets with no keys is a brand-new feature that is not compatible with older versions of the software. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) was also changed: new menus and setup options have been added. Furthermore, the all-in-one wallet creation tool 'litecoin-wallet' has been distributed.
