What's New in Version uport@0.6.3

  • Backward compatible Ethr-DID response support that allows communication with IDs created with the ethr-did registry in the upcoming uPort mobile client release.

  • Use the networkAddress key/value received in responses for all blockchain interactions if you have not already switched from using the address key/value. A networkAddress will continue to be a MNID encoded address for the network your app is configured for. It you are using the uPort subProvider this already happens by default. Continue to use the address key/value as you have for all other interactions (i.e as the subject for attestations issued). In the transition to DIDs the address key/value in a response may be a DID or MNID, but the libraries will set this appropriately to support both new and old mobile app identities.

Steps to migrate

  • npm install uport

  • Use networkAddress key/value in response for all blockchain interactions instead of address key/value if you have not switched already. Continue to use address key/value for all other interactions (i.e attestations). This change may not be required, its dependent on your current implementation.

Legacy support

  • Versions 0.6.2 and earlier will continue to work with all uPort Mobile clients until the uPort Mobile clients with DID support are released in August (exact date listed once known).
  • Once the new uPort Mobile clients are released, these clients will only work with versions 0.6.3 and later minor versions of uport-connect.
  • 0.6.3 and later minor versions will remain backwards compatible, working with both current uPort Mobile clients and future releases.
