Change Log

Unreleased

  • Transparent fund balances are now displayed almost immediately
  • Synchronization of shielded balances and transaction history is about 30% faster
  • Disk space usage is reduced by about 90%
  • Synchronizer.status has been simplified by combining DOWNLOADING, VALIDATING, and SCANNING states into a single SYNCING state.
  • Synchronizer.progress now returns Flow<PercentDecimal> instead of Flow<Int>. PercentDecimal is a type-safe model. Use PercentDecimal.toPercentage() to get a number within 0-100% scale.
  • Synchronizer.clearedTransactions has been renamed to Synchronizer.transactions and includes sent, received, and pending transactions. Synchronizer APIs for listing sent, received, and pending transactions have been removed. Clients can determine whether a transaction is sent, received, or pending by filtering the TransactionOverview objects returned by Synchronizer.transactions
  • Synchronizer.send() and shieldFunds() are now suspend functions with Long return values representing the ID of the newly created transaction. Errors are reported by thrown exceptions.
  • DerivationTool is now an interface, rather than an object, which makes it easier to inject alternative implementations into tests. To adapt to the new API, replace calls to DerivationTool.methodName() with DerivationTool.getInstance().methodName().
  • DerivationTool methods are no longer suspending, which should make it easier to call them in various situations. Obtaining a DerivationTool instance via DerivationTool.getInstance() frontloads the need for a suspending call.
  • DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedFullViewingKeys() no longer has a default argument for numberOfAccounts. Clients should now pass DerivationTool.DEFAULT_NUMBER_OF_ACCOUNTS as the value. Note that the SDK does not currently have proper support for multiple accounts.
  • The SDK's internals for connecting with librustzcash have been refactored to a separate Gradle module backend-lib (and therefore a separate artifact) which is a transitive dependency of the Zcash Android SDK. SDK consumers that use Gradle dependency locks may notice this difference, but otherwise it should be mostly an invisible change.

1.16.0-beta01

(This version was only deployed as a snapshot and not released on Maven Central)

Changed

  • The minimum supported version of Android is now API level 27.

1.15.0-beta01

Changed

  • A new package sdk-incubator-lib is now available as a public API. This package contains experimental APIs that may be promoted to the SDK in the future. The APIs in this package are not guaranteed to be stable, and may change at any time.
  • Synchronizer.refreshUtxos now takes Account type as first parameter instead of transparent address of type String, and thus it downloads all UTXOs for the given account addresses. The Account object provides a default 0 index Account with Account.DEFAULT.

1.14.0-beta01

Changed

  • The minimum supported version of Android is now API level 24.

1.13.0-beta01

Changed

  • The SDK's internal networking has been refactored to a separate Gradle module lightwallet-client-lib (and therefore a separate artifact) which is a transitive dependency of the Zcash Android SDK.
    • The z.cash.ecc.android.sdk.model.LightWalletEndpoint class has been moved to co.electriccoin.lightwallet.client.model.LightWalletEndpoint
    • The new networking module now provides a LightWalletClient for asynchronous calls.
    • Most unary calls respond with the new Response class and its subclasses. Streaming calls will be updated with the Response class later.
    • SDK clients should avoid using generated GRPC objects, as these are an internal implementation detail and are in process of being removed from the public API. Any clients using GRPC objects will find these have been repackaged from cash.z.wallet.sdk.rpc to cash.z.wallet.sdk.internal.rpc to signal they are not a public API.

1.12.0-beta01

Changed

  • TransactionOverview, Transaction.Sent, and Transaction.Received have minedHeight as a nullable field now. This fixes a potential crash when fetching transactions when a transaction is in the mempool

1.11.0-beta01

Added

  • cash.z.ecc.android.sdk:
    • Synchronizer.getUnifiedAddress
    • Synchronizer.getSaplingAddress
    • Synchronizer.isValidUnifiedAddr
    • Synchronizer.getMemos(TransactionOverview)
    • Synchronizer.getReceipients(TransactionOverview)
  • cash.z.ecc.android.sdk.model:
    • Account
    • FirstClassByteArray
    • PendingTransaction
    • Transaction
    • UnifiedSpendingKey
  • cash.z.ecc.android.sdk.tool:
    • DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedSpendingKey
    • DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedFullViewingKey
    • DerivationTool.deriveTransparentAccountPrivateKey
    • DerivationTool.deriveTransparentAddressFromAccountPrivateKey
    • DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedAddress
    • DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedFullViewingKeys
    • DerivationTool.validateUnifiedFullViewingKey
      • Still unimplemented.
  • cash.z.ecc.android.sdk.type:
    • AddressType.Unified
    • UnifiedFullViewingKey, representing a Unified Full Viewing Key as specified in ZIP 316.

Changed

  • The following methods now take or return UnifiedFullViewingKey instead of UnifiedViewingKey:
    • cash.z.ecc.android.sdk:
      • Initializer.Config.addViewingKey
      • Initializer.Config.importWallet
      • Initializer.Config.newWallet
      • Initializer.Config.setViewingKeys
  • cash.z.ecc.android.sdk:
    • Synchronizer.Companion.new now takes many of the arguments previously passed to Initializer. In addition, an optional seed argument is required for first-time initialization or if Synchronizer.new throws an exception indicating that an internal migration requires the wallet seed. (This second case will be true the first time existing clients upgrade to this new version of the SDK).
    • Synchronizer.new() now returns an instance that implements the Closeable interface. Synchronizer.stop() is effectively renamed to Synchronizer.close()
    • Synchronizer ensures that multiple instances cannot be running concurrently with the same network and alias
    • Synchronizer.sendToAddress now takes a UnifiedSpendingKey instead of an encoded Sapling extended spending key, and the fromAccountIndex argument is now implicit in the UnifiedSpendingKey.
    • Synchronizer.shieldFunds now takes a UnifiedSpendingKey instead of separately encoded Sapling and transparent keys.
    • Synchronizer methods that previously took an Int for account index now take an Account object
    • Synchronizer.sendToAddress() and Synchronizer.shieldFunds() return flows that can now be collected multiple times. Prior versions of the SDK had a bug that could submit transactions multiple times if the flow was collected more than once.
  • Updated dependencies:
    • Kotlin 1.7.21
    • AndroidX
    • etc.
  • Updated checkpoints

Removed

  • cash.z.ecc.android.sdk:
    • Initializer (use Synchronizer.new instead)
    • Synchronizer.start() - Synchronizer is now started automatically when constructing a new instance.
    • Synchronizer.getAddress (use Synchronizer.getUnifiedAddress instead).
    • Synchronizer.getShieldedAddress (use Synchronizer.getSaplingAddress instead)
    • Synchronizer.cancel
    • Synchronizer.cancelSpend
  • cash.z.ecc.android.sdk.type.UnifiedViewingKey
    • This type had a bug where the extpub field actually was storing a plain transparent public key, and not the extended public key as intended. This made it incompatible with ZIP 316.
  • cash.z.ecc.android.sdk.tool:
    • DerivationTool.deriveSpendingKeys (use DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedSpendingKey instead)
    • DerivationTool.deriveViewingKey (use DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedFullViewingKey instead)
    • DerivationTool.deriveTransparentAddress (use Synchronizer.getLegacyTransparentAddress instead).
    • DerivationTool.deriveTransparentAddressFromPrivateKey (use Synchronizer.getLegacyTransparentAddress instead).
    • DerivationTool.deriveTransparentAddressFromPublicKey (use Synchronizer.getLegacyTransparentAddress instead).
    • DerivationTool.deriveTransparentSecretKey (use DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedSpendingKey instead).
    • DerivationTool.deriveShieldedAddress
    • DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedViewingKeys (use DerivationTool.deriveUnifiedFullViewingKey instead)
    • DerivationTool.validateUnifiedViewingKey

  • No changes; this release is a test of a new deployment process
