field added in responses ofGET /api/v1/network/connections
API endpoints -verify-db
option (default true), will verify the database integrity during startup and exit if a problem is found-reset-corrupt-db
option (default false) will verify the database integrity during startup and reset the db if a problem is foundGET /explorer/address
: addfee
to transaction objects andcalculated_hours
to transaction inputs- Test data generator and test suite for verification of alternative
cipher
implementations - Begin
/api/v2
API endpoints. These endpoints are in beta and subject to change. - Add
POST /api/v2/transaction/verify
API endpoint - Add
POST /api/v2/address/verify
API endpoint - Add
ignore_unconfirmed
option toPOST /api/v1/wallet/transaction
to allow transactions to be created or spent even if there are unspent outputs in the unconfirmed pool. - Add
uxouts
toPOST /api/v1/wallet/transaction
, to allow specific unspent outputs to be used in a transaction. - Add Dockerfile in docker/images/dev-cli to build a docker image suitable for development.
- Coin creator tool,
cmd/newcoin
, to quickly bootstrap a new fiber coin - Add Dockerfile in
docker/images/dev-dind
to build a docker in docker image based on skycoindev-cli.
- Reduce connection disconnects, improves syncing
- Fix #1171, update CLI to support wallet encryption
- Use
bolt.Tx
correctly for read operations - Docker images for
arm32v5
andar32v7
architectures by using busybox as base in docker/images/mainnet/Dockerfile and docker/images/mainnet/hooks/
- JSON 2.0 RPC interface (used by the CLI tool) is now served on the same host interface as the REST API, port
6420
. The additional listener has been removed. - CLI's
RPC_ADDR
environment variable must now start with a scheme e.g.http://127.0.0.1:6420
, previously it did not use a scheme. - API response will be gzip compressed if client sends request with 'Accept-Encoding' contains 'gzip' in the header.
GET /api/v1/wallet/balance
andGET /api/v1/balance
now return an address balance list as well.- API endpoints are prefixed with
/api/v1/
. API endpoints without the/api/v1/
prefix are deprecated but can be enabled with-enable-unversioned-api
. Please migrate to use/api/v1/
prefix in URLs. - Enable message protocol upgrade
change_address
is no longer required inPOST /api/v1/wallet/transaction
. If not provided,change_address
will default to one of the addresses being spent from.- In
POST /api/v1/wallet/transaction
, forauto
typeshare
mode requests, if extra coinhours remain after applying theshare_factor
but change cannot be made due to insufficient coins, theshare_factor
will switch to1.0
. - Support automatic port allocation of the API interface by specifying port 0
- The web interface / API port is randomly allocated for the precompiled standalone client and electron client released on the website.
If you are using the CLI tool or another API client to communicate with the standalone client, use
-web-interface-port=6420
to continue using port 6420. If the program is run from source (e.g.go run
,run.sh
,make run
) there is no change, the API will still be on port 6420. - Change number of outgoing connections to 8 from 16
- Transaction history shows transactions between own addresses
- Client will only maintain one connection to the default hardcoded peers, instead of all of them
- Remove
-rpc-interface-addr
,-rpc-interface-port
options. The RPC interface is now on default port6420
with the REST API. - Remove
-rpc-thread-num
option - Remove
-connect-to
option - Remove
-print-web-interface-address
option - Remove support for go1.9
0.23.0 - 2018-04-22

0.21.0 - 2017-12-10
- 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.net/blockchain/peers.txt by default
- Fix change hours calculation. Previous gave 1/8 to change and destination addresses; now gives 1/4 to each
- #653, the peerlist size was too small and could be easily filled up; default changed to 65535 from 1000
- CLI's
walletBalance

- Add
block_seq
toget_outputs
and/outputs
API response - Improve UxOut spend selection. Previously, they were spent oldest first. Now they are spent to ensure a non-zero coinhour input and otherwise minimize coinhours.
create_rawtx

will try to maximize the number of UxOuts used to create a transaction.- Update the default peerlist size to 65535 from 1000
- When loading a wallet, 100 addresses will be scanned ahead to find one with a balance
0.20.4 - 2017-11-22

/logs
api to filter skycoin logs, so that we can add a debug panel to the GUI wallet to show logs

webrpc.Client
for JSON-2.0 RPC calls. - Add this CHANGELOG.md file.
- Add Installation.md file, with install instructions for go.
- Timelock distribution addresses. The first 25% of the distribution is spendable. After that 25% is spent, a timestamp will be added to the code to enable further distribution.
- Add
/coinSupply
endpoint. Correctly returns total, locked and unlocked coin amounts. testutil
package for common test setup methods./version
endpoint, which will return the current node version number and the HEAD commit id when build the node-no-ping-log
option to disable ping/pong log output- Check for invalid block signatures during startup and recreate the database if they are corrupted.
- Add methods for converting fixed-point decimal strings to droplets and vice versa.
- Add
make run
,make test
,make lint
,make check
toMakefile
- Flag peers as incoming or outgoing.
- Refactor to decouple
wallet
andvisor
package. - Refactor
cli
package for use as a library. README
improvements.- Set default wallet's label as "Your Wallet"
- Use BIP32 mnemomic seeds by default in
address_gen
. - Add
-x
option toaddress_gen

to print all address information (pubkey, seckey, address, seed) to stdout as JSON. - All API and CLI methods with "coin"-related arguments must be a string and can use decimal notation to specify coin amounts.
- CLI's
walletHistory
command prints amounts as fixed-point decimal strings. Previously, it printed amounts as integers representing whole skycoin amounts, and did not support droplets / fractional skycoins. - A user is prevented from broadcasting a new transaction with unspent outputs that they have already sent as an unconfirmed transaction.
/api/getEffectiveOutputs
is deprecated in favor of/coinSupply
.
