Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Added

  • Add /api/v1/transactions/num to get total transactions number
  • Add param private-keys to CLI commands walletCreate, walletCreateTemp, and walletNewAddresses.
  • Add param private-keys to APIs /api/v1/wallet/create, /api/v1/wallet/createTemp, and /api/v1/wallet/newAddress.
  • Add CLI walletCreateTemp command to create a temporary wallet.
  • Add POST /api/v1/wallet/createTemp API to create a temporary wallet. Warning: The temporary wallet would not be persisted after restarting.
  • GUI add format to the number input fields. Now the numeric input fields add commas to the numbers, to make them easier to read. Now the fields show 1,111,111 instead of just 1111111.
  • Add -max-last-blocks-count flag to limit the maximum number of blocks the api /api/v1/last_blocks can return. This also fixes the out of memory panic. The default maximum number is 256.
  • Add src_txid to verbose transaction inputs, affected apis: /api/v1/transaction, /api/v1/transactions /api/v1/block /api/v1/blocks /api/v1/pendingTxs
  • Add calculated_hours to /api/v1/uxout and /api/v1/address_uxouts.
  • Add go version of go1.14 support
  • Add POST /api/v1/wallet/scan API to scan wallet addresses ahead, default scan number is 20.
  • Add CLI walletScanAddresses command to scan wallet addresses ahead.
  • Add GET /api/v2/transactions API to get transactions with pagination.
  • Add -max-incoming-connection flag to control the maximum allowed incoming connections.
  • Add qr_uri_prefix field to /api/v1/health endpoint.

Fixed

  • #2579 Add emergency wipe option for the Skywallet.
  • #1109 Temporary wallet load feature

changed

  • Move package src/wallet/crypto to src/cipher/crypto as each sub-package in src/wallet folder represents a wallet type we support. Since src/wallet/crypto is not a wallet type, it may confuse people. Therefore, it will be moved to src/cipher/crypto.
  • GUI get the uri prefix from the api
  • GUI update electron and electron builder.
  • GUI General improvements for the front-end, see details in #2589
  • GUI exchange page has been disabled, because the Swaplab integration is not working. The code was not removed
  • CLI command listWallets removed the argument of [directory], it is not being used at all.
  • API change POST /api/v1/wallet/encrypt to encrypt wallet that has no 'cryptoType' field with the default crypto type.
  • CLI command /encryptWallet/decryptWallet shows wallet details after encryption/decryption, it used to show nothing if wallet is decrypted successfully.
  • CLI command walletBalance, createRawTransactionV2, showSeed use wallet file name to load wallet instead of the full path of the wallet file. For example, For example, previously, to check wallet balance we need to run: skycoin-cli walletBalance $HOME/.skycoin/wallets/wallet-with-balance.wlt, Now, we can run: skycoin-cli walletbalance wallet-with-balance.wlt.
  • CLI command createRawTransactionV2 accepts wallet filename instead of the full path of the wallet file.
  • Changes on the CLI command walletCreate:
    • Removed -wallet-file flag, it was used to specific the wallet file name, and now the filename will be automatically generated.
    • The command result will be consistent with the API response of /api/v1/wallet/create.
    • Encrypt the wallet by default, you will be prompted to enter a password to encrypt the wallet.
    • Remove flags of coin/c crypto-type/x.
    • Add flag scan to scan ahead addresses in the wallet that have history transactions.
  • CLI command walletKeyExport -p flag is replaced with --path, and -p will be used as a shorthand of --password.
  • CLI command encryptWallet/decryptWallet will only return none-sensitive data. Data like the seed, secrets and private keys will no longer be returned.
  • Include change addresses for a bip44 wallet of the endpoint /api/v1/wallet.

Removed

  • Removed endpoint /api/v2/metrics. The prometheus dependency was removed, this endpoint will no long be supported.

[0.27.0] - 2019-11-26

Added

  • Add createRawTransactionV2 CLI command, which calls the API of /wallet/transaction to create the transaction and can create then unsigned transaction. Once the API's performance issue has been fixed, we will replace the createRawTransaction with it.
  • Add signTransaction CLI command to sign transaction.
  • Do windows electron builds by travis and abandon the appveyor
  • Migrate skycoin.net to skycoin.com
  • Migrate project path to SkycoinProject/skycoin

  • Add a guided method for entering the seeds in the GUI
  • Add new wallet type collection for wallets that are an arbitrary collection of private keys, rather than generated from a seed
  • Add new wallet type bip44 for hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets obeying the bip44 protocol. The Skycoin bip44 coin number is 8000. bip44 wallets avoid address reuse, generating a new change address for each transaction. Affects APIs are POST /api/v1/wallet, GET /api/v1/wallets, GET /api/v1/wallet, POST /api/v1/wallet/seed and POST /api/v1/wallet/recover. Refer to the API documentation for API changes. bip44 wallets support bip39 "seed passphrases". More details are explained in https://github.com/skycoin/skycoin/wiki/Wallet-File-Formats-and-Types

  • Add xpub type wallet, which can generate addresses without exposing private keys
  • Add block_publisher flag to /api/v1/health
  • Add no_broadcast option to POST /api/v1/injectTransaction to disable broadcast of the transaction. The transaction will only be added to the local pool.
  • Add cli distributeGenesis command to split the genesis block into distribution addresses when setting up a new fiber coin

Fixed

  • #7, #162, corrupted file in ~/.skycoin/data/ dir makes the desktop wallet show ERROR #1.

  • #26 Add additional database corruption checks in ResetCorruptDB to detect encoder ErrBufferUnderflow and ErrMaxLenExceeded

Changed

  • type is now a required parameter for POST /api/v1/wallet. type can be deterministic, bip44 or xpub.
  • Add display_name, ticker, coin_hours_display_name, coin_hours_display_name_singular, coin_hours_ticker, explorer_url to the /health endpoint response
  • cli addPrivateKey will only work on a collection type wallet. Create one with cli walletCreate -t collection
  • Don't print the wallet in the terminal after cli encryptWallet or cli decryptWallet
  • Remove WALLET_DIR and WALLET_NAME envvars from the cli tool. Commands which need to operate on a wallet file accept the wallet file on the command line instead.

Added

  • Require transactions to have an input with non-zero coinhours
  • Add -peerlist-size and -max-outgoing-connections CLI options
  • Add -download-peerlist and -peerlist-url CLI options, to get peers from a URL
  • For electron clients, download a list of peers from https://downloads.skycoin.com/blockchain/peers.txt by default

Fixed

  • Fix change hours calculation. Previous gave 1/8 to change and destination addresses; now gives 1/4 to each

  • /wallet/spend will try to maximize the number of UxOuts used to create a transaction.
  • Update the default peerlist size to 65535 from 1000
