  • basecli
    • basecli init is more intelligent and only complains if there really was a connected chain, not just random files
    • support localhost:46657 or http://localhost:46657 format for nodes, not just tcp://localhost:46657

      • no account (query) subcommand
      • a few other random ones...

    • tracks validator set changes and proves everything from one initial validator seed
    • basecli proof state gets complete proofs for any abci state
    • basecli proof tx gets complete proof where a tx was stored in the chain
    • basecli proxy exposes tendermint rpc, but only passes through results after doing complete verification

0.3.1 (March 23, 2017)

IMPROVEMENTS:

  • CLI returns exit code 1 and logs error before exiting

0.3.0 (March 23, 2017)

BREAKING CHANGES:

  • Remove --data flag and use BCHOME to set the home directory (defaults to ~/.basecoin)
  • Remove --in-proc flag and start Tendermint in-process by default (expect Tendermint files in $BCHOME/tendermint). To start just the ABCI app/server, use basecoin start --without-tendermint.
  • Consolidate genesis files so the Basecoin genesis is an object under app_options in Tendermint genesis. For instance:
{
  "app_hash": "",
  "chain_id": "foo_bar_chain",
  "genesis_time": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "validators": [
    {
      "amount": 10,
      "name": "",
      "pub_key": [
	1,
	"7B90EA87E7DC0C7145C8C48C08992BE271C7234134343E8A8E8008E617DE7B30"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "app_options": {
    "accounts": [{
      "pub_key": {
        "type": "ed25519",
        "data": "6880db93598e283a67c4d88fc67a8858aa2de70f713fe94a5109e29c137100c2"
      },
      "coins": [
        {
          "denom": "blank",
          "amount": 12345
        },
        {
          "denom": "ETH",
          "amount": 654321
        }
      ]
    }],
    "plugin_options": ["plugin1/key1", "value1", "plugin1/key2", "value2"]
  }
}

Note the array of key-value pairs is now under app_options.plugin_options while the app_options themselves are well formed. We also changed chainID to chain_id and consolidated to have just one of them.

FEATURES:

  • Introduce basecoin init and basecoin unsafe_reset_all

0.2.0 (March 6, 2017)
