- Convert status flags into stream of statuses, instead.
- Improve logging during transaction submission
- Database corrections. Aparently Room has gotten more strict with schema parsing and this required lots of corrections mainly around get nullability correct for DB fields.
- Simplify Synchronizer creation via constructor functions. Created one function for maximum simplicity and another for maximum flexibility.
- Changed logic for Wallet initialization to simplify dependencies and allow for optional access to private keys for wallet apps
- Created TransactionRepository that leverages the paging library for Room
- Provided sample implementation of bridging to a key manager in a way where wallet apps do not have to modify their existing code.
- Made it easier to clear the wallet data that can be repopulated from the blockchain
- Allowed for better cleanup of heavy-weight lightwalletd services by adding a shutdown API call
These changes largely reduce the amount of configuration that can be tweaked in order to prevent fragmentation of the anonymity set of users. If wallet makers change certain properties than it can become easy to detect which network requests are coming from which client. The goal is for clients to be as anonymous as possible.
- Correct typo and compiler warning in Rust.
'trait objects without an explicity dyn' are deprecated and this is a warning as of Rust 1.37
- update dependencies
- update documentation

Bringing over lessons learned from the Zcon1 app. There are a lot of changes to make, this is just the beginning of what was necessary to support that app.
Turns out JNI classes are hard to mock due to the way sytem libraries
are loaded. So it became easier to put the JniConverter class behind an
interface. Once that refactor was necessary, it was a good time to
update the name of this class because it retained its original PoC name
for far too long.
Never start downloading blocks prior to sapling activation height, only allow firstrun when dataDb is empty and also add birthday support. Also added corrections to isFirstRun logic.
Working with bigdecimals anytime we need to multiply or divide values because it was causing issues when repeatedly toggling currency on the send screen. Coupled this with lots of improvements on the app side to do less processing while changing currencies
After experiencing several issues that make it more difficult to test send behavior, including the amount of time required to wait for blocks to get mined when testnet is slow,
it became obvious that it was time to investigate mocking. Most of the behavior in the SDK is driven by channels so the mock only has to focus on putting useful data in the
expected channels at the right time. One tradeoff here was the need to make all the synchronizer properties private, that way any implementation can achieve compatability
without necessasily leveraging the same combinations of building blocks. This tradeoff felt acceptable given that these dependencies can be injected and available as singletons,
if needed. This also had a side effect of elevating several channels into the Synchronizer interface, rather than reaching into the synchronizer to directly access those dependencies.
Another benefit is that it's now easier to see what matters most to the app, particularly which channels are essential.
Send is now functional and shows up in active transactions.
This involved:
- reducing the exposure of the seed
- consistently using Ints for blockheight everywhere to match zcash
- adding the use of spending keys
- adding account initialization on startup
- using accounts but defaulting to account 0
- internalizing birthday so we no longer need a reference outside of the library
- enabling cancellation during send
- cleanup active transaction manager
When a transaction is sent it transitions through a lifecycle, beginning with creating the raw transaction and ending with it being mined and added to the blockchain
The synchronizer now primarily collaborates with a downloader, processor and repository; each with a more focused set of responsibilities.
The downloader streams blocks into a channel, the processor saves blocks from that channel and scans for transactions, the repository
exposes transaction change events.
