I have looked everywhere, but have been unable to find any documentation yet, on how to make use of the possible new Segwit addresses. How can we send or accept the new type of pay to script hash address?

We keep talking about the extra space that will be available but I see no technical documentation on how to implement the pay to witness pubkey hash and pay to witness script hash.

And as far as I also understand, there is an option to enable new P2SH Segwit address to allow outputs from nodes that are not upgraded to pay into a segwit address.

PS. No politics about segwit in this thread. I will remove it.
