This is an RC version to preview the changes in the next release.

Bundled CKB node

CKB v0.29.0 was released on Feb 26th, 2020. This version of CKB node is now bundled and preconfigured in Neuron.

New features

We added several new features with this version:

• Sign/Verify message: Sign a message with an address and its private key, or verify a signed message with an address and its public key.
• Customized assets: List customized assets that have non-standard cells, e.g. cells with locktime.
• Transaction with locktime: Send a transaction that could only be released after the locktime.

Performance tweak

Thanks to the community we have found and fixed a serious performance issue. Miner wallets usually receive transactions with huge amount of inputs. When syncing this kind of wallets Neuron became very slow and unresponsive, and couldn't calculate the balance correctly. With this release we've tweaked the sync process, making it run faster and handle transactions with many inputs/outputs properly.

Bundled CKB node

CKB v0.28.0 was released on Feb 4th, 2020. This version of CKB node is now bundled and preconfigured in Neuron.

Full Payload Format address

Full Payload Format (long) address support is ready with this release. For those of you who are curious about what long address is, let's see an example:

Before this release, Neuron only supported Short Payload Format (short) address, e.g., ckb1qyqt8xaupvm8837nv3gtc9x0ekkj64vud3jqfwyw5v.

From this release, Neuron will support Full Payload Format (long) address as well, e.g., ckb1qjda0cr08m85hc8jlnfp3zer7xulejywt49kt2rr0vthywaa50xw3vumhs9nvu786dj9p0q5elx66t24n3kxgj53qks.

Extended public key

We've added a new feature to export and import extended public key for a wallet. A wallet imported by extended public key runs in watch only mode. It can sync, show balance and transaction histories as a regular wallet, but it cannot sign and send transaction.

Please note that for this release we didn't implement any UI limitations to wallet imported by extended public key. This means you could still try to send transaction from it; but when you do so, it would fail when verifying your wallet password.

Electron

We updated Electron to 7.1.11.
