The CredaCash project is pleased to announce the beta release of their next software version. The primary goal of this release is ensure the wallet is ready for deployment by exchanges and merchants. The most significant changes are:
- Added the commands cc.send and cc.send_async to ensure a transaction can be reliably sent without a double-payment.
- Eliminate the timeouts that could occur when sending large payments.
- Automatically detect and resolve conflicting (double-spend) transactions.
- Added the ability to abandon transactions and reset the balance while the wallet is running.
- Various issues were resolved that could appear when a wallet file was copied and used on two computers simultaneously. While this remains not recommended and not supported, it is now much less likely to cause problems.
- Various other changes to make the wallet easier and more reliable to use.
For a full list of changes, see
https://github.com/CredaCash/CredaCash/blob/master/CHANGES.mdA few more features may be added to the final release, including:
- Automatically suspend the creation of transactions when communication to the network is lost.
- Automatically abandon transactions that do not clear as expected (likely due to network communication issues).
- Implement the abandontransaction command which would both abandon a specific transaction, and effectively cancel the transaction by reusing its inputs in a new transaction.
This release adopts the practice of releasing a beta prior to the final release. Nonetheless, the beta was exhaustively tested with millions of transactions in multiple configurations and with various induced faults such as communication errors and processing delays, and was found to be completely reliable. The results will hopefully speak for themselves.
