cardano-foundation/cardano-wallet v2022-10-06

on GitHub

This release is compatible with the Babbage Era of the Cardano network. It is ready to be deployed, tested, and implemented in your products.

However, some features that are specific to the Babbage Era are still under construction, see 🏗 below.

Compatible with cardano-node@1.35.3.

Changes

Fixed

• Creating a Byron address no longer fails intermittently. If an address was not created explicitly by the user, the wallet would sometimes create it implicitly as a change address, leading to misattribution of funds in some exchange use cases. (ADP-2211, ADP-2283, PR 3528)

• Fee calculation performance deterioration. (ADP-2144 / PR 3456)

• Patched shared wallets have the correct address gap and address pool.
  (ADP-2219, PR-3500).

Changed

• All REST API endpoints involving transaction construction now have additional documentation to explain how the wallet handles minimum UTxO values for user-specified transaction outputs. (ADP-2250 / PR 3524)

• Improved validation and resolution of user-provided inputs in POST /wallet/{wid}/transactions-balance. Two new errors were added: unresolved_inputs and input_resolution_conflicts. These replace behaviour that was previously undefined. (ADP-1662 / PR 3475)

• Reintroduced database blocking in light-mode, preventing concurrent API calls. (PR 3528)

Added

• Preliminary sign, decode, and submit endpoints for shared wallets. (ADP-1850, PR-2425, PR-3499).

• Support for new transaction workflow that makes it possible for construction, signing and submission to be performed in separate steps. This process also includes support for balancing and decoding.
  (ADP-2083, PR-3449).

• Support for using scripts and non-extended keys when constructing addresses. This is in addition to the existing support for script hashes, extended keys and key hashes.
  (ADP-2114, PR-3435).

Removed

• The minimum_utxo_value field has been removed from the REST API. (ADP-2250 / PR 3159)
