v4.0.0

• Desktop versions were migrated to a new platform: from NWJS to Electron. Please back up before upgrading.
• A security vulnerability has been fixed that allowed reading unencrypted private key under some circumstances when the key is encrypted with a password (access to the file system is required).
• A separate build for M1 Macs, it's blazing fast!
• Removed an empty top bar in Windows and Linux versions.
• Contracts with arbitration are now integrated with arbstore.org and ready to be launched.
• Fixed a bug that crashed the wallet when viewing blackbytes transactions.
• Fixed creation of a backup on recent Android versions
• Multiple smaller bugfixes and improvements.

Upgrade notes (for desktop versions):

• The data folder has been renamed from byteball to obyte.
• The data folder on Windows has been moved from Local to Roaming (was C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\byteball, now C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\obyte.
• The app automatically discovers the old data folder and moves the data to the new location. However, creating a backup (and additionally making a copy of the data folder) before the upgrade is strongly recommended just in case.
• On Windows, please uninstall the previous version before the upgrade to avoid confusion (uninstall doesn't remove your data).
• On Linux, remove the old AppImage files to avoid accidentally running them and creating a wallet under the old data location.

v3.4.1

This release fixes a security vulnerability (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-25642) that allows remote code execution through specially crafted chat messages. Upgrading is strongly recommended for all users, especially those who have untrusted contacts or bots in the wallet chat. We'll block the old versions from the default hub soon after the release.

Another update in this release extends the obyte: URI protocol to allow multi-asset payments. This will improve the integration of dapps with the wallet and make it easier/faster to send multi-asset payments without having to open a chat with the dapp. Adding liquidity in Oswap will become easier once the feature is integrated in oswap.

v3.4.0

This is a mandatory update for all full nodes.

• fixes a bug that crashed all full nodes
• multiple bugfixes and enhancements in Oscript language. One of the most important updates is that it is now possible to call getters from other AAs identified by a variable
• new iPod-like home screen that displays a quick overview of your portfolio
• a link to https://getmein.ooo from the Receive tab to quickly transfer Ethereum tokens through Counterstake Bridge or buy GBYTE for Ethereum tokens
• when interacting with an AA, the transaction history shows its name to make it is easier to see the nature of the transaction
• searching by token name on Send and History tabs, so users who hold many assets don't have to scroll long lists
• contracts with arbitration (will start working when the arbstore launches)
• asset metadata now gets updated in the wallet if it is updated in the tokens.ooo registry
• faster start-up time in full wallets as computation intensive integrity checks are delayed until after the balances have been shown
• other small bugfixes and improvements

v3.3.2

This release fixes a bug that crashes all full nodes.

Other updates:

• spend unconfirmed funds option is now on by default for all new wallets, it is unchanged in the existing wallets

• assets (some users hold dozens of them after bonded stablecoins were launched) are now sorted by dollar balance
• when sending funds, the wallet now enables the Send button only after checking if the transaction is addressed to an AA and estimating the outcome. This helps to prevent sends to AAs without bounce fees which can lead to loss of funds.
• transaction history now shows the data sent
• other small bugfixes and improvements
