cosmos-sdk/CHANGELOG.md

<!--
Guiding Principles:

Changelogs are for humans, not machines.
There should be an entry for every single version.
The same types of changes should be grouped.
Versions and sections should be linkable.
The latest version comes first.
The release date of each version is displayed.
Mention whether you follow Semantic Versioning.

Usage:

Change log entries are to be added to the Unreleased section under the
appropriate stanza (see below). Each entry should ideally include a tag and
the Github issue reference in the following format:

* (<tag>) \#<issue-number> message

The issue numbers will later be link-ified during the release process so you do
not have to worry about including a link manually, but you can if you wish.

Types of changes (Stanzas):

"Features" for new features.
"Improvements" for changes in existing functionality.
"Deprecated" for soon-to-be removed features.
"Bug Fixes" for any bug fixes.
"Client Breaking" for breaking CLI commands and REST routes used by end-users.
"API Breaking" for breaking exported APIs used by developers building on SDK.
"State Machine Breaking" for any changes that result in a different AppState given same genesisState and txList.

# Changelog

## [Unreleased]

### State Machine Breaking

* (genesis) [\#5017](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5017) The `x/genaccounts` module has been
deprecated and all components removed except the `legacy/` package. This requires changes to the
genesis state. Namely, `accounts` now exist under `app_state.auth.accounts`. The corresponding migration
logic has been implemented for v0.38 target version. Applications can migrate via:
`$ {appd} migrate v0.38 genesis.json`.
* (modules) [\#5299](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5299) Handling of `ABCIEvidenceTypeDuplicateVote`
  during `BeginBlock` along with the corresponding parameters (`MaxEvidenceAge`) have moved from the
  `x/slashing` module to the `x/evidence` module.

### API Breaking Changes

* (types) [\#5495](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5495) Remove redundant `(Must)Bech32ify*` and `(Must)Get*KeyBech32`
  functions in favor of `(Must)Bech32ifyPubKey` and `(Must)GetPubKeyFromBech32` respectively, both of
  which take a `Bech32PubKeyType` (string).
* (types) [\#5430](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5430) `DecCoins#Add` parameter changed from `DecCoins` 
  to `...DecCoin`, `Coins#Add` parameter changed from `Coins` to `...Coin`
* (baseapp/types) [\#5421](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5421) The `Error` interface (`types/errors.go`)
  has been removed in favor of the concrete type defined in `types/errors/` which implements the standard `error`
  interface. As a result, the `Handler` and `Querier` implementations now return a standard `error`.
  Within `BaseApp`, `runTx` now returns a `(GasInfo, *Result, error)` tuple and `runMsgs` returns a
  `(*Result, error)` tuple. A reference to a `Result` is now used to indicate success whereas an error
  signals an invalid message or failed message execution. As a result, the fields `Code`, `Codespace`,
  `GasWanted`, and `GasUsed` have been removed the `Result` type. The latter two fields are now found
  in the `GasInfo` type which is always returned regardless of execution outcome.

  Note to developers: Since all handlers and queriers must now return a standard `error`, the `types/errors/`
  package contains all the relevant and pre-registered errors that you typically work with. A typical
  error returned will look like `sdkerrors.Wrap(sdkerrors.ErrUnknownRequest, "...")`. You can retrieve
  relevant ABCI information from the error via `ABCIInfo`.
* (client) [\#5442](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5442) Remove client/alias.go as it's not necessary and
components can be imported directly from the packages.
* (store) [\#4748](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/4748) The `CommitMultiStore` interface
now requires a `SetInterBlockCache` method. Applications that do not wish to support this can simply
have this method perform a no-op.
* (modules) [\#4665](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4665) Refactored `x/gov` module structure and dev-UX:
  * Prepare for module spec integration
  * Update gov keys to use big endian encoding instead of little endian
* (modules) [\#5017](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5017) The `x/genaccounts` module has been
deprecated and all components removed except the `legacy/` package.
* [\#4486](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4486) Vesting account types decoupled from the `x/auth` module and
now live under `x/auth/vesting`. Applications wishing to use vesting account types must be sure to register types via
`RegisterCodec` under the new vesting package.
* [\#4486](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4486) The `NewBaseVestingAccount` constructor returns an error
if the provided arguments are invalid.
* (x/auth) [\#5006](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5006) Modular `AnteHandler` via composable decorators:
  * The `AnteHandler` interface now returns `(newCtx Context, err error)` instead of `(newCtx Context, result sdk.Result, abort bool)`
  * The `NewAnteHandler` function returns an `AnteHandler` function that returns the new `AnteHandler`
  interface and has been moved into the `auth/ante` directory.
  * `ValidateSigCount`, `ValidateMemo`, `ProcessPubKey`, `EnsureSufficientMempoolFee`, and `GetSignBytes`
  have all been removed as public functions.
  * Invalid Signatures may return `InvalidPubKey` instead of `Unauthorized` error, since the transaction
  will first hit `SetPubKeyDecorator` before the `SigVerificationDecorator` runs.
  * `StdTx#GetSignatures` will return an array of just signature byte slices `[][]byte` instead of
  returning an array of `StdSignature` structs. To replicate the old behavior, use the public field
  `StdTx.Signatures` to get back the array of StdSignatures `[]StdSignature`.
* (modules) [\#5299](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5299) `HandleDoubleSign` along with params `MaxEvidenceAge`
  and `DoubleSignJailEndTime` have moved from the `x/slashing` module to the `x/evidence` module.
* (keys) [\#4941](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4941) Initializing a new keybase through `NewKeyringFromHomeFlag`, `NewKeyringFromDir`, `NewKeyBaseFromHomeFlag`, `NewKeyBaseFromDir`, or `NewInMemory` functions now accept optional parameters of type `KeybaseOption`. These optional parameters are also added on the keys subcommands functions, which are now public, and allows these options to be set on the commands or ignored to default to previous behavior.
  * The option introduced in this PR is `WithKeygenFunc` which allows a custom bytes to key implementation to be defined when keys are created.
* (simapp) [\#5419](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5419) simapp/helpers.GenTx() now accepts a gas argument.
* (baseapp) [\#5455](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5455) An `sdk.Context` is passed into the `router.Route()`
function.

### Client Breaking Changes

* (rest) [\#5270](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5270) All account types now implement custom JSON serialization.
* (rest) [\#4783](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4783) The balance field in the DelegationResponse type is now sdk.Coin instead of sdk.Int
* (x/auth) [\#5006](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5006) The gas required to pass the `AnteHandler` has
increased significantly due to modular `AnteHandler` support. Increase GasLimit accordingly.
* (rest) [\#5336](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5336) `MsgEditValidator` uses `description` instead of `Description` as a JSON key.
* (keys) [\#5097](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5097) Due to the keybase -> keyring transition, keys need to be migrated. See `keys migrate` command for more info.
* (x/auth) [\#5424](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5424) Drop `decode-tx` command from x/auth/client/cli, duplicate of the `decode` command.

### Features

* (store) [\#5435](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5435) New iterator for paginated requests. Iterator limits DB reads to the range of the requested page.
* (x/evidence) [\#5240](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5240) Initial implementation of the `x/evidence` module.
* (cli) [\#5212](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5212) The `q gov proposals` command now supports pagination.
* (store) [\#4724](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4724) Multistore supports substore migrations upon load. New `rootmulti.Store.LoadLatestVersionAndUpgrade` method in
`Baseapp` supports `StoreLoader` to enable various upgrade strategies. It no
longer panics if the store to load contains substores that we didn't explicitly mount.
* [\#4972](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4972) A `TxResponse` with a corresponding code
and tx hash will be returned for specific Tendermint errors:
  * `CodeTxInMempoolCache`
  * `CodeMempoolIsFull`
  * `CodeTxTooLarge`
* [\#3872](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/3872) Implement a RESTful endpoint and cli command to decode transactions.
* (keys) [\#4754](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/4754) Introduce new Keybase implementation that can
leverage operating systems' built-in functionalities to securely store secrets. MacOS users may encounter
the following [issue](https://github.com/keybase/go-keychain/issues/47) with the `go-keychain` library. If
you encounter this issue, you must upgrade your xcode command line tools to version >= `10.2`. You can
upgrade via: `sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools; xcode-select --install`. Verify the
correct version via: `pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables`.
* [\#5355](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5355) Client commands accept a new `--keyring-backend` option through which users can specify which backend should be used
by the new key store:
  - `os`: use OS default credentials storage (default).
  - `file`: use encrypted file-based store.
  - `test`: use password-less key store. *For testing purposes only. Use it at your own risk.*
* (keys) [\#5097](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5097) New `keys migrate` command to assist users migrate their keys
to the new keyring.
* (keys) [\#5366](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5366) `keys list` now accepts a `--list-names` option to list key names only, whilst the `keys delete`
command can delete multiple keys by passing their names as arguments. The aforementioned commands can then be piped together, e.g.
`appcli keys list -n | xargs appcli keys delete`
* (modules) [\#4233](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/4233) Add upgrade module that coordinates software upgrades of live chains.
* [\#4486](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4486) Introduce new `PeriodicVestingAccount` vesting account type
that allows for arbitrary vesting periods.
* (baseapp) [\#5196](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5196) Baseapp has a new `runTxModeReCheck` to allow applications to skip expensive and unnecessary re-checking of transactions.
* (types) [\#5196](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5196) Context has new `IsRecheckTx() bool` and `WithIsReCheckTx(bool) Context` methods to to be used in the `AnteHandler`.
* (x/auth/ante) [\#5196](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5196) AnteDecorators have been updated to avoid unnecessary checks when `ctx.IsReCheckTx() == true`
* (x/auth) [\#5006](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5006) Modular `AnteHandler` via composable decorators:
  * The `AnteDecorator` interface has been introduced to allow users to implement modular `AnteHandler`
  functionality that can be composed together to create a single `AnteHandler` rather than implementing
  a custom `AnteHandler` completely from scratch, where each `AnteDecorator` allows for custom behavior in
  tightly defined and logically isolated manner. These custom `AnteDecorator` can then be chained together
  with default `AnteDecorator` or third-party `AnteDecorator` to create a modularized `AnteHandler`
  which will run each `AnteDecorator` in the order specified in `ChainAnteDecorators`. For details
  on the new architecture, refer to the [ADR](docs/architecture/adr-010-modular-antehandler.md).
  * `ChainAnteDecorators` function has been introduced to take in a list of `AnteDecorators` and chain
  them in sequence and return a single `AnteHandler`:
    * `SetUpContextDecorator`: Sets `GasMeter` in context and creates defer clause to recover from any
    `OutOfGas` panics in future AnteDecorators and return `OutOfGas` error to `BaseApp`. It MUST be the
    first `AnteDecorator` in the chain for any application that uses gas (or another one that sets the gas meter).
    * `ValidateBasicDecorator`: Calls tx.ValidateBasic and returns any non-nil error.
    * `ValidateMemoDecorator`: Validates tx memo with application parameters and returns any non-nil error.
    * `ConsumeGasTxSizeDecorator`: Consumes gas proportional to the tx size based on application parameters.
    * `MempoolFeeDecorator`: Checks if fee is above local mempool `minFee` parameter during `CheckTx`.
    * `DeductFeeDecorator`: Deducts the `FeeAmount` from first signer of the transaction.
    * `SetPubKeyDecorator`: Sets pubkey of account in any account that does not already have pubkey saved in state machine.
    * `SigGasConsumeDecorator`: Consume parameter-defined amount of gas for each signature.
    * `SigVerificationDecorator`: Verify each signature is valid, return if there is an error.
    * `ValidateSigCountDecorator`: Validate the number of signatures in tx based on app-parameters.
    * `IncrementSequenceDecorator`: Increments the account sequence for each signer to prevent replay attacks.
* (cli) [\#5223](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5223) Cosmos Ledger App v2.0.0 is now supported. The changes are backwards compatible and App v1.5.x is still supported.
* (x/staking) [\#5380](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5380) Introduced ability to store historical info entries in staking keeper, allows applications to introspect specified number of past headers and validator sets
    * Introduces new parameter `HistoricalEntries` which allows applications to determine how many recent historical info entries they want to persist in store. Default value is 0.
    * Introduces cli commands and rest routes to query historical information at a given height
* (modules) [\#5249](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5249) Funds are now allowed to be directly sent to the community pool (via the distribution module account).
* (keys) [\#4941](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4941) Introduce keybase option to allow overriding the default private key implementation of a key generated through the `keys add` cli command.
* (types) [\#5447](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5447) Added `ApproxRoot` function to sdk.Decimal type in order to get the nth root for a decimal number, where n is a positive integer.
  * An `ApproxSqrt` function was also added for convenience around the common case of n=2.

### Improvements

* (server) [\#4215](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4215) The `--pruning` flag
has been moved to the configuration file, to allow easier node configuration.
* (cli) [\#5116](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5116) The `CLIContext` now supports multiple verifiers
when connecting to multiple chains. The connecting chain's `CLIContext` will have to have the correct
chain ID and node URI or client set. To use a `CLIContext` with a verifier for another chain:

  ```go
  // main or parent chain (chain as if you're running without IBC)
  mainCtx := context.NewCLIContext()

  // connecting IBC chain
  sideCtx := context.NewCLIContext().
    WithChainID(sideChainID).
    WithNodeURI(sideChainNodeURI) // or .WithClient(...)

  sideCtx = sideCtx.WithVerifier(
    context.CreateVerifier(sideCtx, context.DefaultVerifierCacheSize),
  )
  ```

must set it in their app via a `BaseApp` option. The `BaseApp` docs have been drastically improved
to detail this new feature and how state transitions occur.
* (docs/spec) All module specs moved into their respective module dir in x/ (i.e. docs/spec/staking -->> x/staking/spec)
* (docs/) [\#5379](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5379) Major documentation refactor, including:

  We do embed ctx.Context() as a raw context.Context instead to be used as you see fit.

  Migration guide:

  ```go
  ctx = ctx.WithValue(contextKeyBadProposal, false)
  ```

  Now becomes:

  ```go
  ctx = ctx.WithContext(context.WithValue(ctx.Context(), contextKeyBadProposal, false))
  ```

  A bit more verbose, but also allows `context.WithTimeout()`, etc and only used
  in one function in this repo, in test code.

    * Move encoding endpoint to `/txs/encode`

* Gaia
  * [\#3787](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/3787) Fork the `x/bank` module into the Gaia application with only a

            been slashed (from a fault committed by a different validator)
           in the same BeginBlock. Outstanding rewards are now available
           on a per-validator basis in REST.

Make lots of small cli fixes that arose when people were using the tools for
the testnet.

IMPROVEMENTS:

* basecoin
  * `basecoin start` supports all flags that `tendermint node` does, such as
    `--rpc.laddr`, `--p2p.seeds`, and `--p2p.skip_upnp`
  * fully supports `--log_level` and `--trace` for logger configuration
  * merkleeyes no longers spams the logs... unless you want it
    * Example: `basecoin start --log_level="merkleeyes:info,state:info,*:error"`
    * Example: `basecoin start --log_level="merkleeyes:debug,state:info,*:error"`
* basecli
  * `basecli init` is more intelligent and only complains if there really was
    a connected chain, not just random files
  * support `localhost:46657` or `http://localhost:46657` format for nodes,
    not just `tcp://localhost:46657`
  * Add `--genesis` to init to specify chain-id and validator hash
    * Example: `basecli init --node=localhost:46657 --genesis=$HOME/.basecoin/genesis.json`
  * `basecli rpc` has a number of methods to easily accept tendermint rpc, and verifies what it can

BUG FIXES:

* basecli
  * `basecli query account` accepts hex account address with or without `0x`
    prefix
  * gives error message when running commands on an unitialized chain, rather
    than some unintelligable panic

## 0.6.0 (June 22, 2017)

Make the basecli command the only way to use client-side, to enforce best
security practices. Lots of enhancements to get it up to production quality.

BREAKING CHANGES:

  * complete overhaul on how tx and query subcommands are added. (see counter or trackomatron for examples)
  * no longer supports counter app (see new countercli)
* basecoin
  * `basecoin init` takes an argument, an address to allocate funds to in the genesis
  * removed key2.json
  * removed all client side functionality from it (use basecli now for proofs)
    * no tx subcommand
    * no query subcommand
    * no account (query) subcommand
    * a few other random ones...
  * enhanced relay subcommand
    * relay start did what relay used to do
    * relay init registers both chains on one another (to set it up so relay start just works)
* docs
  * removed `example-plugin`, put `counter` inside `docs/guide`
* app
  * Implements ABCI handshake by proxying merkleeyes.Info()

IMPROVEMENTS:

* `basecoin init` support `--chain-id`

* genesis file
  * you can define accounts with either address or pub_key
  * sorts coins for you, so no silent errors if not in alphabetical order
* [light-client](https://github.com/tendermint/light-client) integration
  * no longer must you trust the node you connect to, prove everything!
  * new [basecli command](./cmd/basecli/README.md)
  * integrated [key management](https://github.com/tendermint/go-crypto/blob/master/cmd/README.md), stored encrypted locally
  * tracks validator set changes and proves everything from one initial validator seed
  * `basecli proof state` gets complete proofs for any abci state
  * `basecli proof tx` gets complete proof where a tx was stored in the chain
  * `basecli proxy` exposes tendermint rpc, but only passes through results after doing complete verification

BUG FIXES:

* no more silently ignored error with invalid coin names (eg. "17.22foo coin" used to parse as "17 foo", not warning/error)

## 0.4.1 (April 26, 2017)

BUG FIXES:

* Fix bug in `basecoin unsafe_reset_X` where the `priv_validator.json` was not being reset

## 0.4.0 (April 21, 2017)

## 0.3.1 (March 23, 2017)

IMPROVEMENTS:

* CLI returns exit code 1 and logs error before exiting

## 0.3.0 (March 23, 2017)

BREAKING CHANGES:

* Remove `--data` flag and use `BCHOME` to set the home directory (defaults to `~/.basecoin`)
* Remove `--in-proc` flag and start Tendermint in-process by default (expect Tendermint files in $BCHOME/tendermint).
  To start just the ABCI app/server, use `basecoin start --without-tendermint`.
* Consolidate genesis files so the Basecoin genesis is an object under `app_options` in Tendermint genesis. For instance:

```
{
  "app_hash": "",
  "chain_id": "foo_bar_chain",
  "genesis_time": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "validators": [
    {
      "amount": 10,
      "name": "",
      "pub_key": [
	1,
	"7B90EA87E7DC0C7145C8C48C08992BE271C7234134343E8A8E8008E617DE7B30"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "app_options": {
    "accounts": [{
      "pub_key": {
        "type": "ed25519",
        "data": "6880db93598e283a67c4d88fc67a8858aa2de70f713fe94a5109e29c137100c2"
      },
      "coins": [
        {
          "denom": "blank",
          "amount": 12345
        },
        {
          "denom": "ETH",
          "amount": 654321
        }
      ]
    }],
    "plugin_options": ["plugin1/key1", "value1", "plugin1/key2", "value2"]
  }
}
```

Note the array of key-value pairs is now under `app_options.plugin_options` while the `app_options` themselves are well formed.
We also changed `chainID` to `chain_id` and consolidated to have just one of them.

FEATURES:

* Introduce `basecoin init` and `basecoin unsafe_reset_all`

## 0.2.0 (March 6, 2017)

BREAKING CHANGES:

* Update to ABCI v0.4.0 and Tendermint v0.9.0
