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.

0.28.5

Added

  • BIP44 Chain Selection

    • /api/v1/wallet/newAddress now accepts chain parameter (external/change) and account parameter for BIP44 wallets
    • CLI walletAddAddresses has --chain flag for generating on external or change chain
    • GUI wallet shows "New Address" button for both external and change address sections

  • Node Shutdown API

    • POST /api/v1/shutdown endpoint for graceful node shutdown (NET_CTRL API set)

    • Default RPC port in CLI help reflects the fibercoin's configured web_interface_port

  • Newcoin Templates

    • newcoin templates subcommand to export embedded templates for customization
    • --template-dir flag in createcoin now functional (was dead code)

  • Fibercoin Integration Test

Changed

    • macOS .pkg installers built inline via pkgbuild
    • Updated to Go 1.26

[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
  • Use transaction history when scanning wallet addresses, instead of the current address balance
  • Document the daemon's CLI options
  • Add the ability to save transaction notes
  • Add CLI encodeJsonTransaction command to retrieve raw transaction given its JSON representation
  • Add package bip44, implementing the bip44 spec https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki
  • Codesign daemon and standalone binaries
  • 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
  • cli walletCreate support for bip44 wallets added
  • Add bip44_coin field to GET /api/v1/health fiber params
  • Add the "bulk send" option to the GUI advanced form
  • Add cli walletKeyExport command to export xpub, xprv, pub and prv key from a bip44 wallet
  • 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
