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.

Upcoming deprecated method removal notice

In the v0.26.0 these features and functions will be removed. If you have a need for any of these features, let us know.

Notice

Nodes v0.23.0 and earlier will not be able to connect to v0.25.0 due to a change in the introduction packet message.

Nodes v0.24.1 and earlier will not be able to connect to v0.26.0 due to a similar change.

Make sure to upgrade to v0.25.0 so that your node will continue to connect once v0.26.0 is released.

Added

  • Add -csv option to cli send and cli createRawTransaction, which will send coins to multiple addresses defined in a csv file
  • Add -disable-default-peers option to disable the default hardcoded peers and mark all cached peers as untrusted
  • Add -custom-peers-file to load peers from disk. This peers file is a newline separate list of ip:port strings
  • Add csrf_enabled, csp_enabled, wallet_api_enabled, unversioned_api_enabled, gui_enabled and json_rpc_enabled configuration settings to the /api/v1/health endpoint response
  • Add verbose flag to /api/v1/block, /api/v1/blocks, /api/v1/last_blocks, /api/v1/pendingTxs, /api/v1/transaction, /api/v1/transactions, /api/v1/wallet/transactions to return verbose block data, which includes the address, coins, hours and calculcated_hours of the block's transaction's inputs
  • Add encoded flag to /api/v1/transaction to return an encoded transaction
  • Add -http-prof-host option to choose the HTTP profiler's bind hostname (defaults to localhost:6060)
  • Add -enable-api-sets, -disable-api-sets, -enable-all-api-sets options to choose which sets of API endpoints to enable. Options are READ, STATUS, TXN, WALLET, PROMETHEUS, INSECURE_WALLET_SEED, DEPRECATED_WALLET_SPEND. Multiple values must be comma separated.
  • /api/v1/wallet/spend is deprecated and requires -enable-api-set=DEPRECATED_WALLET_SPEND to enable it. Use /api/v1/wallet/transaction and /api/v1/injectTransaction instead.
  • Add -host-whitelist option to specify alternate allowed hosts when communicating with the API bound to a localhost interface
  • Add the head block header to the response of GET /api/v1/outputs
  • Add "ux_hash" to block headers in API responses

  • Add /api/v2/wallet/recover to recover an encrypted wallet by providing the seed
  • Add HTTP Basic Auth options -web-interface-username and -web-interface-password. Auth is only available when using -web-interface-https unless -web-interface-plaintext-auth is also used.
  • Go application metrics exported at /api/v2/metrics (API set PROMETHEUS) in Prometheus format
  • Add /api/v2/wallet/recover to recover an encrypted wallet by providing the seed
  • Add fiberAddressGen CLI command to generate distribution addresses for fiber coins
  • Coinhour burn factor can be configured at runtime with COINHOUR_BURN_FACTOR envvar
  • Daemon configured builds will be available on the releases page. The builds available for previous versions are configured for desktop client use.

  • POST /api/v1/wallet/newAddress and POST /api/v1/wallet/spend will correctly fail if the wallet is not encrypted but a password is provided
  • Return 503 error for /api/v1/injectTransaction for all message broadcast failures (note that it is still possible for broadcast to fail but no error to be returned, in certain conditions)
  • Fixed autogenerated HTTPS certs. Certs are now self-signed ECDSA certs, valid for 10 years, valid for localhost and all public interfaces found on the machine. The default cert and key are renamed from cert.pem, key.pem to skycoind.cert, skycoind.key

Changed

  • Add blockchain pubkey in introduction message, it would close the connection if the pubkey is not matched, but would accept it if pubkey is not provided.
  • CLI tool uses the REST API instead of the deprecated webrpc API to communicate with the node
  • cli status return value is now the response from GET /api/v1/health, which changes some fields
  • /api/v1/network/ endpoints will return an empty array for array values instead of null

  • go run cmd/skycoin/skycoin.go will have exit status 1 on failure and exit status 2 on panic
  • The deprecated JSON 2.0 RPC interface is disabled by default for all run modes, since it is no longer needed for the CLI tool

  • cli decodeRawTransaction output format changed, see the CLI README
  • /api/v1/wallet/spend is deprecated, disabled by default and requires -enable-api-sets=DEPRECATED_WALLET_SPEND to enable it. Use /api/v1/wallet/transaction and /api/v1/injectTransaction instead.

  • /api/v1/explorer/address is deprecated in favor of /api/v1/transactions?verbose=1

Removed

  • Remove USE_CSRF envvar from the CLI tool. It uses the REST API client now, which will automatically detect CSRF as needed, so no additional configuration is necessary. Operators may still wish to disable CSRF on their remote node to reduce request overhead.
  • Remove -enable-wallet-api and -enable-seed-api in place of including WALLET and INSECURE_WALLET_SEED in -enable-api-sets.
  • Copies of the source code removed from release builds due to build artifact size

Changed

  • 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.

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
