v0.22.0

v0.22.0

Master Build Status

Special Notes

Upgrade to this release is required

Network Upgrade at block 2,200,000

This release contains a network consensus update at block 2,200,000 that activates the following consensus rules:

• A single transaction must not contain more than 90 outputs
• Minimum network transaction fees are now calculated via a fee-per-byte method.
  • Transactions with a fee of less than the minimum fee-per-byte amount will be rejected by the network.
  • Fusion transactions remain free
  • See #967 for more details.

The change to fee-per byte takes effect immediately in zedwallet, wallet-api, and turtle-service in this release. The software will not wait for the network upgrade before setting the minimum transaction fee via fee-per-byte.

End of Support (EOS) Notice

Legacy zedwallet is no longer supported. zedwallet++ has officially replaced legacy zedwallet in all builds from here on out. If you're having problems with legacy zedwallet, you're on your own.

End of Life (EOL) Notice

Please note that v0.28.0 will be the last release to contain turtle-service. Releases after 0.v28.0 will no longer contain the turtle-service binaries and the code will be removed. In preparation for this EOL, please work to implement wallet-api in your application(s), perform testing, and report any issues that you encounter so that they may be resolved as quickly as possible.

Note: The End of Support (EOS) date for turtle-service has not been set at this time. Please pay attention to release notes for further information regarding turtle-service EOS.

Reminder

Wallets created and/or managed by zedwallet are no longer compatiable with with turtle-service. To be very clear, turtle-service can only open wallets created with turtle-service as of this release.

TurtleCoind API Changes

A number of API changes have been made as a result of the RPC rewrite in #903. The /getinfo, /getheight, /getpeers, and /getfee calls have been removed in lieu of /info, /height, /peers, and /fee. In addition, quite a few json_rpc calls were removed as they were deemed redundant during the rewrite. All of the TurtleCoind API calls remaining are listed below. All other API methods have been removed.

• /info
• /fee
• /height
• /peers
• /json_rpc
  • getblocktemplate
  • submitblock
  • getblockcount
  • getlastblockheader
  • getblockheaderbyhash
  • getblockheaderbyheight
  • f_blocks_list_json
  • f_block_json
  • f_transaction_json
  • f_on_transactions_pool_json
• /sendrawtransaction
• /getrandom_outs
• /getwalletsyncdata
• /get_global_indexes_for_range
• /queryblockslite
• /get_transactions_status
• /get_pool_changes_lite
• /queryblocksdetailed
• /get_o_indexes
• /getrawblocks

Wallet Software & Node Interaction

Due to fixing the HTTP verbs (GET vs POST) as part of the rewrite, it is unlikely that older versions of wallet software will properly sync with Daemon’s running v0.22.0+. Please make sure you are always using the latest version of your favorite wallet software.
