All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic versioning.

[1.1.0r] - 2025-02-25

Changed 🪙

• Allow multiple smaller transfers to a non-existing account for the same asset type.
• The logic takes multiple senders for one recipient into consideration
• register_account used for crosschain transfers with the strategies fee, open and subscription does not require a signature, when transfering to the same account
• Updated the response of the query get_account_by_id to also return type along with id

Added ✅

• Added a blacklist for operations that may not be used after an auth operation (evm_auth and ft_auth). Defined in the chromia.yml as core.auth.auth_op_blacklisted_operations, it works the same way as evm_signatures_authorized_operations, except the former is a list of operations that are not allowed, while the latter includes only allowed operations.

• Added RellDocs for everything

• Added get_api_version. While version looks like "1.0.3", and it's difficult to parse, api version is an integer that is increased by one every time the API (queries and operations) changes. It will start at 1 for version "1.1.0".

• Added get_block_height, analogous to latest_time. The main difference is that the block height returned is the height of the next block to be produced, if in a query. This is also analogous to the difference between op_context.last_block_time and op_context.block_height, where the height refers to the current block and the time to the last block.

• Added multiple queries:

  • get_assets_filtered
  • get_balances_filtered
  • get_transfer_history_entries_filtered
  • get_crosschain_transfer_history_entries_filtered
  • get_asset_origin_filtered
  • get_applied_transfers_filtered
  • get_canceled_transfers_filtered
  • get_unapplied_transfers_filtered
  • get_recalled_transfers_filtered
  • get_pending_transfers_filtered
  • get_reverted_transfers_filtered
  • get_accounts_filtered
  • get_account_auth_descriptors_filtered
  • get_main_auth_descriptors_filtered
  • get_auth_descriptor_signers_filtered
  • get_rl_states_filtered
  • get_account_creation_transfers_filtered
  • get_account_links_filtered

  All are mounted on 'ft4' directly.

• Added two extendable functions:

  • before_crosschain_balance_change
  • after_crosschain_balance_change

  The extensions are being called in the Unsafe.update_balances_if_needed function which is a part of crosschain transfers.

Fixed 🔧

• authenticate() and authenticate_and_return_context() will no longer delete the auth descriptor used to authenticate the operation, even if it expired during the authentication process.

[1.0.0r] - 2024-07-04

Added ✅

• Introduced a filtering option in get_pending_transfer_strategies to sort results based on transfer expiration.

Fixed 🔧

• Resolved an issue in the get_auth_message_template query where it failed if a GTV-encoded null was provided as args.

[0.8.0r] - 2024-05-29

Breaking changes 💔

• Removed the key constraint from the symbol attribute of the asset entity.
• Replaced get_asset_by_symbol with get_assets_by_symbol.
• Updated register_crosschain_asset operation to include asset_id, asset_type, and uniqueness_resolver arguments.
• Renamed get_paginated_asset_balances_by_name to get_paginated_assets_by_name.
• Removed the _ft_auth function and ft4.get_account_by_auth_descriptor query.

Changed 🪙

• Made the icon_url attribute of the asset entity mutable.

Added ✅

• Added a uniqueness_resolver attribute to the asset entity.
• Introduced get_assets_by_symbol query to retrieve all registered assets with the same symbol.
• Added get_transfer_rules query to fetch transfer strategy rules configuration.

Fixed 🔧

• Ensured that the number of required signatures in multisig auth descriptors is greater than 0.
• Verified that new main auth descriptors include all mandatory flags when using update_main_auth_descriptor.

[0.7.0r] - 2024-04-23

Breaking changes 💔

• Deadline for transfers: Added deadline field to init_transfer. Transfers applied after this timestamp will fail and can only be reverted.
• Moved latest_time: The latest_time field has been relocated from the accounts module to the utils module.
• Function renaming:
  • Renamed _register_account() to register_account().
  • Renamed add_auth_descriptor_to_account function to add_auth_descriptor.
  • Renamed _add_signer to add_signers.
  • Renamed ft4.get_auth_descriptor_nonce to ft4.get_auth_descriptor_counter.
• Version requirement: Requires Rell "0.13.10".
• Entity changes:
  • Updated entity ft4.crosschain.applied_transfers.
  • Updated entity ft4.account_creation_transfer.
  • Added transaction field to the applied_transfers entity.
• Operation changes:
  • Removed ft4.register_account_evm_signatures, now use ft4.evm_signatures instead.
  • Removed ft4.delete_all_auth_descriptors_exclude, replaced with ft4.delete_all_auth_descriptors_except_main.
• Function argument changes:
  • Removed is_strict argument from authenticate() function. auth_handlers will now resolve to the most specific handler if no operation auth handler is found.
• Account creation updates:
  • Removed signature verification from create_account_with_auth. Signatures must now be verified separately using verify_signers.
  • create_account_with_auth will now create an account with an ID based on the hash of signers if the account_id argument is not provided.
• Configuration changes:
  • All module arguments for FT4 submodules in YML config now include an additional core component in the module path. For example, accounts module arguments should be defined under lib.ft4.core.accounts instead of lib.ft4.accounts.
• Module removal: Removed ft4_basic and ft4_basic_dev modules.

Changed 🪙

• Revised internal structure of FT4 submodules: External modules are now imported alongside core modules. For instance, importing lib.ft4.accounts will also import the associated operations and queries. If needed, you can still import accounts entities and functions without the operations and queries by using lib.ft4.core.accounts.

Added ✅

• Reversion of incomplete cross-chain transfers: Added support to revert incomplete cross-chain transfers after the deadline has passed.
• Recall unclaimed register account transfers: Added functionality to recall unclaimed register account transfers after the timeout period has expired.

  • Introduced get_assets_by_type query.
  • Added register_asset_with_type admin operation.

• Enhanced query responses:

  • Added blockchain_rid to responses from get_transfer_details and get_transfer_details_by_asset.

• Pending transfers: Pending transfers are now completed when the account is registered with direct strategies.

• Configuration updates: Added auth descriptor configuration options (max_rules and max_number_per_account) to the get_config query.

• Default login configuration: Set a 1-day expiration for default login configuration.

• New queries:

  • get_last_pending_transfer_for_account: Returns the most recent pending cross-chain transfer matching the provided parameters (sender, target chain, recipient, asset, amount).

[0.2.0r] - 2023-12-22

warning

This version is incompatible with older versions. To upgrade, you will need to perform a database migration. For more information, refer to this page.

Breaking changes 💔

• Paginated queries: Queries get_accounts_by_participant_id and get_account_auth_descriptors_by_participant_id are now paginated. Update your code to handle these changes.
