It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
### Added
- When sending coins in the UI, the user can choose to send in MDL, or the equivalent amount of MDL in USD
- Add the option for changing the language of the GUI.
- Add Spanish and Simplified Chinese language options
- Add genesis block hash in `INTR` message
- Add `bip32` package for preliminary HD wallet support
- Add CLI `checkDBDecoding` command to verify the `skyencoder`-generated binary decoders match the reflect-based decoder
- Add CLI `addresscount` command to return the count of addresses that currently have unspent outputs (coins) associated with them.
- Add `-max-inc-msg-len` and `-max-out-msg-len` options to control the size of incoming and outgoing wire messages
- Add `-disable-header-check` flag to disable Host/Origin/Referer header checks for the node APIs
- Add `header_check_enabled` parameter in the `/health` endpoint response
- Add `unsigned` option to `POST /api/v1/wallet/transaction` to create unsigned transactions from a wallet
- Add `unsigned` option to `POST /api/v2/transaction/verify` for verifying an unsigned transaction
- Add `POST /api/v2/wallet/transaction/sign` to sign an unsigned transaction with a wallet
- Add `POST /api/v2/transaction` to create an unsigned transaction from addresses or unspent outputs without a wallet
- Add `/api/v2/data` APIs for transaction notes and generic key-value storage.
- Update `/metrics` endpoint to add metrics from `/health`: `unspent_outputs`, `unconfirmed_txns`, `time_since_last_block_seconds`, `open_connections`, `outgoing_connections`, `incoming_connections`, `start_at`, `uptime_seconds`, `last_block_seq`.
### Fixed
- Return a v2-style error for disabled API endpoints
- #2172 Fix electron build failure for linux systems
- Don't send wire protocol messages that exceed the configured 256kB limit, which caused peers to disconnect from the sender
- #2348 Fix panic in `MDL-cli` `transaction` command if no (zero) arguments are passed. Exactly one argument is expected.
### Changed
- Duplicate wallets in the wallets folder will prevent the application from starting
- An empty wallet in the wallets folder will prevent the application from starting
- Use [`skyencoder`](https://github.com/MDLlife/skyencoder)-generated binary encoders/decoders for network and database data, instead of the reflect-based encoders/decoders in `cipher/encoder`.
- Add `/api/v1/resendUnconfirmedTxns` to the `WALLET` API set
- In `POST /api/v1/wallet/transaction`, moved `wallet` parameters to the top level of the object
- Incoming wire message size limit increased to 1024kB
- Clients restrict the maximum number of blocks they will send in a `GiveBlocksMessage` to 20
- `POST /api/v2/wallet/seed/verify` returns an error if the seed's checksum is invalid
- Increase the detail of error messages for invalid seeds sent to `POST /api/v2/wallet/seed/verify`
- Move package `github.com/MDLlife/MDL/src/cipher/go-bip39` to `github.com/MDLlife/MDL/src/cipher/bip39`
- The `Content-Security-Policy` header was modified to make it stricter
- Update `INTR` message verify logic to reject connection if blockchain pubkey not matched or provided
- Change the coinhour burn rate to 10%
### Removed
- `/api/v1/explorer/address` endpoint (use `GET /api/v1/transactions?verbose=1` instead). See https://github.com/MDLlife/MDL/blob/master/src/api/README.md#migrating-from--api-v1-explorer-address
- The unversioned REST API (the `-enable-unversioned-api` is removed, prefix your API requests with `/api/v1` if they don't have an `/api/vx` prefix already). See https://github.com/MDLlife/MDL/blob/master/src/api/README.md#migrating-from-the-unversioned-api
- JSON-RPC 2.0 interface (this is no longer used by the CLI tool, and the REST API supports everything the JSON-RPC 2.0 API does). See https://github.com/MDLlife/MDL/blob/master/src/api/README.md#migrating-from-the-jsonrpc-api
- `/api/v1/wallet/spend` endpoint (use `POST /api/v1/wallet/transaction` followed by `POST /api/v1/injectTransaction` instead). See https://github.com/MDLlife/MDL/blob/master/src/api/README.md#migrating-from--api-v1-spend
- Remove shell autocomplete files
