Joinmarket-clientserver 0.9.7:

https://github.com/joinmarket-org/joinmarket-clientserver/releases/tag/v0.9.7

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

https://github.com/joinmarket-org/joinmarket-clientserver/issues

Upgrading

To upgrade:

Reminder: always back up and recreate your joinmarket.cfg file when doing the upgrade; this is to make sure you have the new default settings.

(If you are upgrading from a version pre-0.7.0 please read the "Upgrading" section in the 0.7.0 release notes.)

(If you are upgrading from a version pre-0.9.0 please read the release notes to find out how about fidelity bonds are relevant to your use-case).

First run the install.sh script as mentioned in the README. When prompted to overwrite the directory jmvenv, accept.

Note that ./install.sh -? will show the options for installation. See the section on Installation below for a new option for Tor.

Notable changes

Tumbler algorithm: fix, and cycling

This is a notable reworking of the tumbler algorithm, mostly motivated by finding an error which was causing failures for people that tried to use more than the default number of mixdepths (0-4). The tumbler is now able to work with the standard 5 mixdepths, even if you want to tumble through more mixdepths than that. Also "restarting" is now the same as starting; it will operate based on whatever mixdepths are funded, there is no "starting mixdepth". For details see the substantially updated tumbler guide which now has algorithm examples, and the explanation of the fix and change in the PR.

  • d3dc9d7 Change tumbler algo to cycle and add tests, and d0bf888 7ffc747 e5ed7f2 c0df868
  • b4e4f2a susbstantial rewrite of tumblerguide.md
  • 524cbda update Qt for new tumbler algo
  • 75c444e Update wallet_rpc for new tumbler code

Disallowing utxos with unconfirmed spends

This fix is a bit technical but very important. The TLDR is that it should remove a common issue of makers sending spent utxos to takers as candidates for coinjoins, which affected some users. See the PR for some detailed discussion.

a3e1ba3 Default 3rd argument of gettxout should be True

New script to calculate fidelity bond values

This new script is intended to help users make more informed choices about fidelity bonds. It gives data on the value of the bond dependent on locktime and amount, and optionally can compare with existing bonds in the orderbook (using a json export of the latter).

  • 72bf447 Script: Add bond-calculator.py

New display of 'available' balance

This new feature in the UI (both CLI and Qt) displays tags 'FROZEN', 'PENDING', 'LOCKED' to indicate the status of different utxos (with 'PENDING' meaning unconfirmed). Available balance is distinguished from total balance with parentheses. As you can see from this description already, the situation is substantially more complex for Joinmarket than for simpler wallets because there are at least 3 ways in which utxos' usability might be restricted, and this is not necessarily the same for all use cases (e.g. maker vs taker). Still, this UI addition gives the user a lot more information. This additional 'available balance' information is now also returned in the RPC API.

  • 015cb4a If there is unavailable fund, display 2 balances: total balance and unlocked balance.
  • ea6c34d update yaml for new available_balance fields
  • 75a93df fix available_balance

We also had to update the json-ified wallet display to accommodate this:

  • 08581f8 Fixes json serialization of wallet display

RPC-API updates

There continue to be several small updates to the API, most notable this time is the addition of schedule status to the /session endpoint.

  • 8ee6b39 Report offerlist in /session call if possible
  • b2ab4db add nickname field to session response
  • 2cb41fc review: reaqd schedule from taker object, also 190d56e 57d1476
  • ab2803e fix: include schedule in session instead of status flag, and 521189a
  • 77496cd Disallow RPC directsend if coinjoin state enabled
  • cde5cfb feat: scheduler status flag in session
  • 3f358ed Add options to scheduler API endpoint
  • 12bcbe1 docs: add flag to session response spec

Tor updates

  • adc11a1 Add separate documentation for Tor configuration
  • f8497f0 add missing text to tor.md
  • d46a2c6 Use valid tor_root also for tor_install()
  • 5e9044e Install Tor binaries under /usr/local for --docker-install

Qt changes

We now allow access to the xpub information in the Qt interface (previously it was not displayed in the GUI).

  • d95e279 Display the account xpub in QT interface
  • e4f249a Show QR code for xpub

Installation

The installation now will automatically check release GPG signatures for libsodium and Tor; this can be switched off with --no-gpg-validation.

  • be51866 GPG release signature validation for libsodium and Tor

Documentation

  • 7f2c965 Fix "Using Tor as a Maker" table of contents link
  • baa1d48 Add link to JoininBox to README
  • e42f829 docs: fix link in SOURCING-COMMITMENTS.md
  • 94a43ab docs: link to latest version of start-dn.py script
  • bb79a6d Remove hint to restart Bitcoin Core with -rescan parameter
  • 4d4cae5 docs: Creating Core wallet is required for v0.21+

Dependencies

  • da88b1f Bump local Tor to latest version (0.4.7.8)
  • 48935fe Bump pyjwt from 2.1.0 to 2.4.0 in /jmclient

Minor changes and fixes

Fixes a non-trivial edge case where the application starts up with a currently unconfirmed transaction:

  • 5a7b68b Track txs which are unconf at process startup

Allows bitcoin: prefix in sendpayment.py (we alreadly allowed BIP21 URIs):

  • 83c6bc0 Allow bitcoin: prefix for addresses with sendpayment.py

Test-related changes:

  • 74616f0 Refactor tests to make fidelity bond usage optional.
  • 8f60cf0 Bump minfeerate for payjoin test
  • 36bf36b fix: enable addr status in regtest

The orderbook.json file returned by the ob-watcher service was wrong in certain cases:

  • 2b277b0 fix(ob-watcher): consistent orderbook.json response

The maker already doesn't start without any coins, but this fixes the edge case where it currently has timelocked coins but no others:

  • 904cb35 Don't start maker with only expired-timelock utxos

We don't yet have descriptor support; this is a first step:

  • fc5bda4 Basic output descriptor functions (generate only)

Other minor changes:

  • 38d00e5 Remove unused CLI options in tumbler
  • 447cdb2 Change verbosity of on_nick_leave_directory log message from info to debug
  • c2abb93 Ensure OnionDirectoryPeerNotFound is raised
  • 67d0801 multiple spaces after operator
