Notable changes
z_mergetoaddress
promoted out of experimental status
The z_mergetoaddress
API merges funds from t-addresses, z-addresses, or both,
and sends them to a single t-address or z-address. It was added in v1.0.15 as an
experimental feature, to simplify the process of combining many small UTXOs and
notes into a few larger ones.
In this release we are promoting z_mergetoaddress
out of experimental status.
It is now a stable RPC, and any future changes to it will only be additive. See
zcash-cli help z_mergetoaddress
for API details and usage.
Unlike most other RPC methods, z_mergetoaddress
operates over a particular
quantity of UTXOs and notes, instead of a particular amount of ZEC. By default,
it will merge 50 UTXOs and 10 notes at a time; these limits can be adjusted with
the parameters transparent_limit
and shielded_limit
.
z_mergetoaddress
also returns the number of UTXOs and notes remaining in the
given addresses, which can be used to automate the merging process (for example,
merging until the number of UTXOs falls below some value).
Option parsing behavior
Command line options are now parsed strictly in the order in which they are
specified. It used to be the case that -X -noX
ends up, unintuitively, with X
set, as -X
had precedence over -noX
. This is no longer the case. Like for
other software, the last specified value for an option will hold.
