Changelog

All notable changes to this library will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this library adheres to Rust's notion of Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Changed

• MSRV is now 1.60.0.
• zcash_client_backend::data_api::wallet::shield_transparent_funds now takes a shielding_threshold argument that can be used to specify the minimum value allowed as input to a shielding transaction. Previously the shielding threshold was fixed at 100000 zatoshis.

[0.6.1] - 2022-12-06

Added

• zcash_client_backend::data_api::chain::scan_cached_blocks now generates tracing spans, which can be used for profiling.

Fixed

• zcash_client_backend:zip321 no longer returns an error when trying to parse a URI without query parameters.

[0.6.0] - 2022-11-12

Added

• Functionality that enables the receiving and spending of transparent funds, behind the new transparent-inputs feature flag.
  • A new zcash_client_backend::data_api::wallet::shield_transparent_funds method has been added to facilitate the automatic shielding of transparent funds received by the wallet.
  • A zcash_client_backend::wallet::WalletTransparentOutput type in support of transparent-inputs functionality.
• An unstable feature flag; this is added to parts of the API that may change in any release.
• zcash_client_backend::address:
  • RecipientAddress::Unified
  • AddressMetadata
  • impl Eq for UnifiedAddress
• zcash_client_backend::data_api:
  • wallet::spend method, intended to supersede the wallet::create_spend_to_address method. This new method now constructs transactions via interpretation of a zcash_client_backend::zip321::TransactionRequest value. This facilitates the implementation of ZIP 321 support in wallets and provides substantially greater flexibility in transaction creation.

  • TransactionBalance
  • fixed, a module containing change selection strategies for the old fixed fee rule.
  • zip317, a module containing change selection strategies for the ZIP 317 fee rule.
• New experimental APIs that should be considered unstable, and are likely to be modified and/or moved to a different module in a future release:
  • zcash_client_backend::address::UnifiedAddress
  • zcash_client_backend::keys::{UnifiedSpendingKey, UnifiedFullViewingKey, Era, DecodingError}
  • zcash_client_backend::encoding::AddressCodec
  • zcash_client_backend::encoding::encode_payment_address
  • zcash_client_backend::encoding::encode_transparent_address

Changed

• MSRV is now 1.56.1.
• Bumped dependencies to ff 0.12, group 0.12, bls12_381 0.7 zcash_primitives 0.9, orchard 0.3.
• zcash_client_backend::proto:
  • The Protocol Buffers bindings are now generated for prost 0.11 instead of protobuf 2.
  • compact_formats::CompactSpend has been renamed to CompactSaplingSpend, and its epk field (and associated set_epk method) has been renamed to ephemeralKey (and set_ephemeralKey).
  • compact_formats::CompactOutput has been renamed to CompactSaplingOutput.
• epk: jubjub::ExtendedPoint has been replaced by ephemeral_key: zcash_note_encryption::EphemeralKeyBytes in various places:
  • zcash_client_backend::wallet::WalletShieldedOutput: the epk field has been replaced by ephemeral_key.
  • zcash_client_backend::proto::compact_formats::CompactSaplingOutput: the epk method has been replaced by ephemeral_key.
• zcash_client_backend::data_api:
  • Renamed the following to use lower-case abbreviations (matching Rust naming conventions):
    • testing::MockWalletDB to testing::MockWalletDb
  • Changes to the WalletRead trait:
    • WalletRead::get_target_and_anchor_heights now takes a min_confirmations argument that is used to compute an upper bound on the anchor height being returned; this had previously been hardcoded to wallet::ANCHOR_OFFSET.
    • WalletRead::get_spendable_notes has been renamed to get_spendable_sapling_notes, and now takes as an argument a vector of note IDs to be excluded from consideration.
    • WalletRead::select_spendable_notes has been renamed to select_spendable_sapling_notes, and now takes as an argument a vector of note IDs to be excluded from consideration.
    • The WalletRead::NoteRef and WalletRead::TxRef associated types are now required to implement Eq and Ord
  • WalletWrite::store_received_tx has been renamed to store_decrypted_tx.
  • wallet::decrypt_and_store_transaction now always stores the transaction by calling WalletWrite::store_decrypted_tx, even if no outputs could be decrypted. The error type produced by the provided WalletWrite instance is also now returned directly.
  • The SentTransaction type has been substantially modified to accommodate handling of transparent inputs. Per-output data has been split out into a new struct SentTransactionOutput, and SentTransaction can now contain multiple outputs, and tracks the fee paid.
  • ReceivedTransaction has been renamed to DecryptedTransaction, and its outputs field has been renamed to sapling_outputs.
  • BlockSource has been moved to the chain module.
  • The types of the with_row callback argument to BlockSource::with_blocks and the return type of this method have been modified to return chain::error::Error.
  • testing::MockBlockSource has been moved to chain::testing::MockBlockSource module.
  • chain::{validate_chain, scan_cached_blocks} have altered parameters and result types. The latter have been modified to returnchain::error::Error instead of abstract error types. This new error type now wraps the errors of the block source and wallet database to which these methods delegate IO operations directly, which simplifies error handling in cases where callback functions are involved.
  • error::ChainInvalid has been moved to chain::error.
  • error::Error has been substantially modified. It now wraps database, note selection, builder, and other errors.
    • Added new error cases:
      • Error::DataSource
      • Error::NoteSelection
      • Error::BalanceError
      • Error::MemoForbidden
      • Error::AddressNotRecognized
      • Error::ChildIndexOutOfRange
      • Error::NoteMismatch
    • Error::InsufficientBalance has been renamed to InsufficientFunds and restructured to have named fields.
    • Error::Protobuf has been removed; these decoding errors are now produced as data source and/or block-source implementation-specific errors.
    • Error::InvalidChain has been removed; its former purpose is now served by chain::ChainError.
    • Error::InvalidNewWitnessAnchor and Error::InvalidWitnessAnchor have been moved to chain::error::ContinuityError.
    • Error::InvalidExtSk (now unused) has been removed.
    • Error::KeyNotFound (now unused) has been removed.
    • Error::KeyDerivationError (now unused) has been removed.
    • Error::SaplingNotActive (now unused) has been removed.
• zcash_client_backend::decrypt:
  • decrypt_transaction now takes a HashMap<_, UnifiedFullViewingKey> instead of HashMap<_, ExtendedFullViewingKey>.
• If no memo is provided when sending to a shielded recipient, the empty memo will be used.
• zcash_client_backend::keys::spending_key has been moved to the zcash_client_backend::keys::sapling module.
• zcash_client_backend::zip321::MemoError has been renamed and expanded into a more comprehensive Zip321Error type, and functions in the zip321 module have been updated to use this unified error type. The following error cases have been added:
  • Zip321Error::TooManyPayments(usize)
  • Zip321Error::DuplicateParameter(parse::Param, usize)
  • Zip321Error::TransparentMemo(usize)
  • Zip321Error::RecipientMissing(usize)
  • Zip321Error::ParseError(String)
• zcash_client_backend::welding_rig:
  • The API of ScanningKey has changed to accommodate batch decryption and to correctly handle scanning with the internal (change) keys derived from ZIP 316 UFVKs and UIVKs.
  • scan_block now uses batching for trial-decryption of transaction outputs.
• The return type of the following methods in zcash_client_backend::encoding have been changed to improve error reporting:
  • decode_extended_spending_key
  • decode_extended_full_viewing_key
  • decode_payment_address
• zcash_client_backend::wallet::SpendableNote is now parameterized by a note identifier type and has an additional note_id field that is used to hold the identifier used to refer to the note in the wallet database.

Deprecated

• zcash_client_backend::data_api::wallet::create_spend_to_address has been deprecated. Use zcash_client_backend::data_api::wallet::spend instead. If you wish to continue using create_spend_to_address, note that the arguments to the function has been modified to take a unified spending key instead of a Sapling extended spending key, and now also requires a min_confirmations argument that the caller can provide to specify a minimum number of confirmations required for notes being selected. A minimum of 10 confirmations is recommended.

Removed

• zcash_client_backend::data_api:
  • wallet::ANCHOR_OFFSET
  • WalletRead::get_extended_full_viewing_keys (use WalletRead::get_unified_full_viewing_keys instead).
  • WalletRead::get_address (use WalletRead::get_current_address or WalletWrite::get_next_available_address instead.)
  • impl From<protobuf::ProtobufError> for error::Error
• zcash_client_backend::proto::compact_formats:
  • Compact*::new methods (use Default::default or struct instantiation instead).
  • Getters (use dedicated typed methods or direct field access instead).
  • Setters (use direct field access instead).
• zcash_client_backend::wallet::AccountId (moved to zcash_primitives::zip32::AccountId).
• impl zcash_client_backend::welding_rig::ScanningKey for ExtendedFullViewingKey (use DiversifiableFullViewingKey instead).
