INSTRUCTIONS

This is a mandatory update — all users and node operators should upgrade as soon as possible. Please backup your wallet prior to updating for safety.

WHAT'S NEW

Spark Address Message Signing & Verification

This release introduces the ability to sign and verify messages using Spark addresses. This is an important step for proving ownership of a Spark address without revealing any private information or making an on-chain transaction — useful for identity verification, proof-of-ownership, and building trust in peer-to-peer interactions while preserving privacy.

Improved Transaction Rebroadcasting

InstantSend-locked transactions are now periodically rebroadcast. This improves transaction reliability by reducing cases where valid transactions might not propagate fully across the network, particularly in scenarios involving temporary network disruptions or peer disconnections.

Bug Fixes

Tor Connectivity Fix

Resolved an issue where Firo Core (Qt) ignores onlynet=onion option. Users who operate their nodes exclusively over Tor should update.

Spark Names Dialog (Qt6)

Fixed a layout issue with the Spark Names dialog on Qt6-based wallet builds, ensuring the UI renders correctly.

Mobile & Developer Improvements

• Refactored the getusedcoinstagstxhashes call to use GetSpendsMobile, improving performance and code maintainability for mobile wallet integrations (e.g., Stack Wallet).
• Enhanced getusedcoinstagstxhashes to handle edge cases more gracefully, improving reliability for light wallet backends.
• Added Spark-related verbosity to the getblock RPC, giving developers and node operators richer block-level data about Spark transactions.

Housekeeping

Various minor code cleanup and maintenance changes.
