Update Friday, June 26th 2020
As usual when living-life in the fast lane, a flurry of small quality-of-life changes occured between beta.2 and our freshly-minted Release Candidate 1, mostly as a result of user testing and feedback.
- Adjust the output of
grin-wallet finalizeto be consistent with other Slatepack output - https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-wallet/pull/446 - If a Slatepack address is provided, request a payment proof by default (you can still opt out,) The decision to do this was fairly unanimous after a bit of discussion - https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-wallet/pull/447
- Add a means by which developers and command-line users can skip Slatepack TOR send attempts, suggested by @davidtavarez
- Changes to make the
get_stored_txAPI function behave more consistently, raised by @david - https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-wallet/pull/454 - Add a flag to allow command-line users to specify the location of the Slatepack output file - https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-wallet/pull/455
- Change the JSON serialization of Slates back to use hex-strings instead of base64 for binary objects, it was determined that more compact base-64 wasn’t needed here, and would just make developers’ lives more difficult: https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-wallet/pull/457
- And of course, full WIP release notes covering all of the changes since 3.1.2
Testing seems to have gone well, thanks @lehnberg and @quentinlesceller for the rigorous testing, @mably @johndavies24 and everyone else who I’ve seen testing and commenting on the latest code (and everyone else of course, don’t mean to pass anyone over). Hopefully it’ll be a case of RC1 and Done.
That’s all for now, remain safe!
