Memos may be absent for both sent and received notes in cases where only
compact block information has been used to populate the wallet database.
This fixes a potential crash in the case that we attempt to decode a
SQLite `NULL` as a byte array. It does, however, introduce a slight
semantic confusion that will need to be considered in the case of future
updates where a note may not have an associated memo; at present, the
only reason we might not have the memo is that we might not have
retrieved the full transaction information from the chain, but in the
future there might be other possible reasons for this absence.
Fixes#384
This removes the `CommitmentTree`, `IncrementalWitness`, and
`MerklePath` types in favor of equivalent versions available
from the `incrementalmerkletree` crate.
This is in preparation for extraction into the `incrementalmerkletree`
crate, which is not Sapling-specific and therefore cannot hard-code
the depths of these data structures.
This better reflects the semantics of wallet behavior. Also, this
adds a `zcash_client_backend::WalletRead::get_min_unspent_height`
method that replaces the deprecated & removed (and misleadingly
named) `get_rewind_height` method.
This removes the path-based dependencies on the `zcash_note_encryption`
crate in favor of using versioned dependencies locally. This better
reflects the future state in which `zcash_note_encryption` is factored
out of the workspace and maintained in a separate repository.
The `halo2_proofs/multicore` flag must be disabled when running wasm
builds; this ensures that we do not accidentally include it as a
transitive dependency when building with `--no-default-features`.
This change makes it possible for wallets using the
`zcash_client_backend::data_api::wallet` module to perform transaction
preparation, including input selection and fee calculation, as an
independent step prior to creating proofs and signatures. This can be
used to improve user experience by making it possible to report the
proposed effects of the transaction to the wallet user (including
privacy implications) prior to authorizing the transaction.
Previously, if a caller wanted to use a block source to perform
scanning from the first available block, they would have to guess
at the block height to start from. Changing this to an optional
argument makes this explicit.
This allows callers to validate smaller intervals of the given
`BlockSourceT` shortening processing times of the function call at the
expense of obtaining a partial result on a given section of interest of
the block source.
`params: &ParamsT` has been removed from the arguments since they were
only needed to fall back to `sapling_activation_height` when `None` as
passed as the `validate_from` argument. Passing `None` as validation
start point on a pre-populated `block_source` would result in an error
`ChainError::block_height_discontinuity(sapling_activation_height - 1, current_height)`
With this new API callers must specify a concrete `validate_from`
argument and assume that `validate_chain` will not take any default
fallbacks to chain `ParamsT`.
The addition of a `limit` to the chain validation function changes the
meaning of its successful output, being now a `BlockHeight, BlockHash)`
tuple indicating the block height and block hash up to which the chain
as been validated on its continuity of heights and hashes. Callers
providing a `limit` aregument are responsible of subsequent calls to
`validate_chain()` to complete validating the remaining blocks stored on
the `block_source`.
