Changes in 0.6.0 (Wed May 27 2015)
|
||||||
|
- New features:
|
||||||
|
- Add initial account support (#155):
|
||||||
|
- Add account names for each account number
|
||||||
|
- Create initial account with the "default" name
|
||||||
|
- Create new accounts using the createnewaccount RPC
|
||||||
|
- All accounts (with the exception of the imported account) may be
|
||||||
|
renamed using the renameaccount RPC
|
||||||
|
- RPC requests with an unspecified account that default to the unnamed
|
||||||
|
account in Bitcoin Core Wallet default to "default", the name of the
|
||||||
|
initial account
|
||||||
|
- Several RPCs with account parameters do not work with btcwallet
|
||||||
|
accounts due to concerns over expectations of API compatibility with
|
||||||
|
Bitcoin Core Wallet. A new RPC API is being planned to rectify this
|
||||||
|
(#220).
|
||||||
|
- Store transactions, transaction history, and spend tracking in the
|
||||||
|
database (#217, #234)
|
||||||
|
- A full rescan is required when updating from previous wallet
|
||||||
|
versions to rebuild the transaction history
|
||||||
|
- Add utility (cmd/dropwtxmgr) to drop transaction history and force a
|
||||||
|
rescan (#234)
|
||||||
|
- Implement the help RPC to return single line usages of all wallet and
|
||||||
|
btcd server requests as well as detailed usage for a single request
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Bug fixes:
|
||||||
|
- Handle chain reorgs by unconfirming transactions from removed blocks
|
||||||
|
(#248)
|
||||||
|
- Rollback all transaction history when none of the saved recently seen
|
||||||
|
block hashes are known to btcd (#234, #281)
|
||||||
|
- Prevent the situation where the default account was renamed but cannot
|
||||||
|
be renamed back to "" or "default" by removing the special case naming
|
||||||
|
policy for the default account (#253)
|
||||||
|
- Create the initial account address if needed when calling the
|
||||||
|
getaccountaddress RPC (#238)
|
||||||
|
- Prevent listsinceblock RPC from including all listtransactions result
|
||||||
|
objects for all transactions since the genesis block (fix included in
|
||||||
|
#227)
|
||||||
|
- Add missing fields to listtransactions and gettransaction RPC results
|
||||||
|
(#265)
|
||||||
|
- Remove target confirmations limit on listsinceblock results (#266)
|
||||||
|
- Add JSON array to report errors creating input signature for
|
||||||
|
signrawtransaction RPC (#267)
|
||||||
|
- Use negative fees with listtransactions result types (#272)
|
||||||
|
- Prevent duplicate wallet lock attempt after timeout if explicitly
|
||||||
|
locked (#275)
|
||||||
|
- Use correct RPC server JSON-RPC error code for incorrect passphrases
|
||||||
|
with a walletpassphrase request (#284)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Regressions:
|
||||||
|
- Inserting transactions and marking outputs as controlled by wallet in
|
||||||
|
the new transaction database is extremely slow compared to the previous
|
||||||
|
in-memory implementation. Later versions may improve this performance
|
||||||
|
regression by using write-ahead logging (WAL) and performing more
|
||||||
|
updates at a time under a single database transaction.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Notable developer-related changes:
|
||||||
|
- Relicense all code to the btcsuite developers (#258)
|
||||||
|
- Replace txstore package with wtxmgr, the walletdb-based transaction
|
||||||
|
store (#217, #234)
|
||||||
|
- Add Cursor API to walletdb for forwards and backwards iteration over
|
||||||
|
a bucket (included in #234)
|
||||||
|
- Factor out much of main's wallet.go into a wallet package (#213,
|
||||||
|
#276, #255)
|
||||||
|
- Convert RPC server and client to btcjson v2 API (#233, #227)
|
||||||
|
- Help text and single line usages for the help RPC are pregenerated
|
||||||
|
from descriptions in the internal/rpchelp package and saved as
|
||||||
|
globals in main. Help text must be regenerated (using `go generate`)
|
||||||
|
each time the btcjson struct tags change or the help definitions are
|
||||||
|
modified.
|
||||||
|
- Add additional features to the votingpool package:
|
||||||
|
- Implement StartWithdrawal API to begin an Open Transactions
|
||||||
|
withdrawal (#178)
|
||||||
|
- Add internal APIs to store withdrawal transactions in the wallet's
|
||||||
|
transaction database (#221)
|
||||||
|
- Addresses marked as used after appearing publicly on the blockchain or
|
||||||
|
in mempool; required for future single-use address support (#207)
|
||||||
|
- Modified waddrmgr APIs to use ForEach functions to iterate over
|
||||||
|
address strings and managed addresses to improve scability (#216)
|
||||||
|
- Move legacy directory under internal directory to prevent importing
|
||||||
|
of unmaintained packages (enforced since Go 1.5) (#285)
|
||||||
|
- Improve test coverage in the waddrmgr and wtxmgr packages (#239, #217)
