Happy Spring Festival!

Bundled CKB node

CKB v0.27.0 was released on Jan 10th, 2020. This version of CKB node is now bundled and preconfigured in Neuron.

Electron

We updated to Electron 7.1.9, which has fixed a bug that would cause updater to fail to download new version of Neuron.

So far Electron 7's asynchronous request/response-style IPC has been working very well, we are going to migrate more internal communications to use that.

Syncing

We've improved the sync and block scan, making it more stable and faster (up to 2x on macOS and 3-4x on Windows). Block and other data's DB access was tweaked to write less frequently and read more quickly. We're still tweaking this and planning to enable CKB's indexer module in the near future, to make the sync a lot faster.

Other features and changes

• Prevent multiple instances of Neuron from running at the same time.
• Change the QR reader to read an image from the desktop, instead of scanning with the camera.
• Update the network and sync status display to show more information.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue that when a transaction has many inputs or outputs the wallet cannot load it and the UI would display empty history list.
• Fixed an issue that could occur when sending transaction.

Happy New Year and welcome to the v0.26.3 release of Neuron!

New look and feel

Neuron has a new look and feel that we hope you will like. We're still designing and tweaking many of the UI parts so please stay tuned as there're more to come in future releases.

Bundled CKB node

CKB v0.26.1 was released on Dec 30th, 2019. This version of CKB node is now bundled and preconfigured in Neuron.

Nervos DAO

There're many improvements for Nervos DAO feature, some of the key changes include:

• Allow depositing all balance to Nervos DAO. When the user does so, show hint to remind them to reserve some CKB for withdraw operation.
• Added the Current Compensation Period dialog showing explanation of epochs period.
• Label Nervos DAO transactions in recent activities.

Electron 7

We updated to Electron 7 in this release. Electron 7 added ipcRenderer.invoke() and ipcMain.handle() for asynchronous request/response-style IPC, which are recommended over the remote module. To take advantage of that, we refactored data flow between wallet core and UI layers, replacing remote usage with ipcRenderer.invoke() and ipcMain.handle().

Bug fixes

• Fixed a lot of bugs related to block syncing.
• Fixed minor bugs with Nervos DAO feature.
• Fixed an issue that transaction detail window shows blank content.
• Fixed a bug that allows transaction fee price to be set as non-integer number.
