Improvements to Transaction Metadata & Pool Metrics

on GitHub

Compatible with jormungandr@v0.9.0 and cardano-node@1.20.0.

New Features

• CLI support for creating transactions with metadata #2125

Improvements

Breaking changes

• POST /wallets/{walletId}/transactions uses a new scheme for metadata, ensuring that API users will always see exactly the same JSON in the transaction history and cardano explorer as what they submitted with the transaction. #2147
• Subtly improved metrics from GET /stake-pools #2162, IntersectMBO/cardano-ledger#1854
  • relative_stake and saturation are now based on a pool's current stake instead of a past snapshot. The same is true for the saturation used to calculate non_myopic_member_rewards. This makes non_myopic_member_rewards immediately respond to over-saturation.
  • relative_stake is now relative to the total stake, instead of the active stake

Other changes

• Improved API documentation for transaction metadata #2157
• Removed unnecessary checkpoints from the database #2143

Resolved Issues

• The reported value of saturation is incorrect #1980
• Fix dylib references of bundled programs on macOS #2135

Known Issues

• Estimating fees on empty Shelley wallet takes 5-6 s #2170
• Stake pool DB worker progress is only saved if it is allowed to reach Shelley in a single session #1963
• cardano-wallet-jormungandr --metadata option is redundant #2169
• No rewards from staking for wallets on Jörmungandr node #2140
• nix-build -A cardano-wallet fails on macOS Big Sur #2070
• Cannot send funds from Byron random address created via cardano-address #2058
• Balance temporarily increases when spending rewards #1955
• Required wallet DB fields do not get persistently added #1743
• cardano-wallet address CLI has import and create commands which are not supported for Shelley wallets #1733
