# Release Notes

# Version 1.3 Jumeirah

The improvements listed below are enabled by feature #16 “Ride V5, dApp-to-dApp invocations”.

# Protocol Enhancements

  • dApp-to-dApp invocation. A dApp callable function can invoke a callable function of another dApp, or another callable function of the same dApp, or even itself. All invoked functions are executed within a single Invoke Script transaction. The total complexity is limited. More about dApp-to-dApp invocation
  • Amended Invoke Script transaction:
    • Canceled the extra fee of 0.004 WAVES for smart assets in payments and script actions.
    • Transaction can contain up to 10 attached payments.
    • The total complexity for all callable functions and asset scripts involved is limited by 26,000 (the sender's account script complexity is not included in this limit).
    • The maximum complexity of a callable function of a dApp script is changed to 10,000.
  • For all types of transactions, canceled the extra fee of 0.004 WAVES for sending a transaction from a smart account or dApp unless the complexity of sender's account script or dApp script verifier function exceeds 200.

# Node REST API

# Breaking Changes

A lease can be created both as a result of a Lease transaction and as a result of an Invoke Script transaction via a Lease script action. Therefore, the response of the following endpoints has been changed:

  • In the response of /transactions/address/{address}/limit/{limit} and /transactions/info/{id} endpoints for a Lease Cancel transaction, the lease structure now contains lease parameters instead of Lease transaction fields.
  • /leasing/active/{address} returns an array of structures containing lease parameters instead of array of Lease transactions.
Format 
"lease": {
   "id": "7bRbb9DH6V2ztdbmsZhWLdhTPQD14t8W38GjrtW8ug1N",
   "originTransactionId": "7bRbb9DH6V2ztdbmsZhWLdhTPQD14t8W38GjrtW8ug1N",

   "amount": 400000000,
   "height": 1560062,
   "status": "canceled"
}

The originTransactionId field can contain an ID of a Lease Transaction or an Invoke Script transaction.

# Semantic Changes

  • dApp-to-dApp invocation results are added as the invokes array to the stateChanges structure returned by the following endpoints:

    • /transactions/info/{id}
    • /transactions/address/{address}/limit/{limit}

    Each element of invokes array, in turn, also contains stateChanges.

# Improvements

  • Added the /leasing/info endpoint that returns lease parameters by lease IDs.

    Format 
    [
   {
      "id": "DNZ8tpZt6i9fTRW6b7UmBV9LHNmX4c5EgeTMhcNk3ReB",

      "cancelTransactionId": "Dc5fzXUKVDd22PbJFt2T5RSsNieFCJwwpuWUsGR4YDZs"
   }
]

    If the blockchain state on the node was not rebuilt after activation of feature #16, the endpoint does not return the leaseCancelTransactionId field for leases that are canceled before activation of feature #16.

  • Added the /blocks/heightByTimestamp/{timestamp} endpoint that returns blockchain height at a given timestamp.

# Version 1.2 Malibu

The improvements listed below are enabled by feature #15 "Ride V4, VRF, Protobuf, Failed transactions".

# Protocol Enhancements

  • Improved the mechanism for generating blocks using VRF (opens new window) (Verifiable random function). This improvement allows withstanding stake grinding attacks, which are used by the attackers to try to increase the probability of generating a block for themselves.
  • Implemented saving failed transactions. Invoke script transactions and exchange transactions are saved on the blockchain and a fee is charged for them even if the dApp script or the asset script failed, provided that the sender's signature or account script verification passed and the complexity of computations performed during script invocation exceeded the threshold for saving failed transactions. More details
  • Implemented the feature of changing the asset name and description. For this means, the update asset info transaction is used. Change is possible after 10 or more blocks on Stagenet and after 100,000 or more blocks on Mainnet and Testnet.
  • Implemented the feature of deletion of entries from the account data storage. This action can be performed by the data transaction or DeleteEntry structure of the Ride language.
  • Reduced the minimum fee from 1 to 0.001 WAVES for the reissue transaction and sponsor fee transaction.
  • Implemented transaction binary formats based on protobuf (opens new window).
  • Issue transaction's name and description fields type changed from bytes to string.
  • The maximum data size in data transaction increased to 165,890 bytes.
  • Exchange transaction may contain buy and sell orders in any order.
  • Changed the orders' price calculation formula. Earlier, when determining the price for assets with different numbers of decimal places, there was a price value size issue. The maximum value depended on the difference of decimal digits of assets. For example, the price for an NFT asset could not exceed 1000 WAVES. The modified formula corrects this problem. Decimal places no longer affect the maximum price.
  • The minimum interval between blocks is increased from 5 to 15 seconds. Average block time is targeted 60 seconds instead of ~59 seconds.
  • Changed the scheme for signing the block transactions by the generating node. Previously, the generating node needed to sign the block header along with all transactions. For now, the transactions root hash is added to the header, so it is enough to sign only the header.
  • The BLAKE2b-256 hash of the block header is used as the block unique identifier.
  • When a transaction is validated before adding to the UTX pool, the blockchain state changes made by the transactions that were previously added to the block but then returned to the UTX pool due to the appearance of a new key block that refers to one of the previous microblocks, are taken into account.
  • dApp can't call itself with Invoke Script transaction with attached payments. Also dApp can't transfer funds to itself by ScriptTransfer script action.

# REST API Updates

In the Node 1.2 release, we have some semantic and breaking changes in the API. Please read the following changes very attentively as it can affect your working application when migrating from Node 1.1 API to the Node 1.2 API.

# Semantic Changes

  • Invoke script transactions and exchange transaction can be failed, so their presence on the blockchain does not mean they are successful. Check the new field applicationStatus which is added to the output of the following endpoints:

    • /blocks/{id}
    • /blocks/address/{address}/{from}/{to}
    • /blocks/at/{height}
    • /blocks/last
    • /blocks/seq/{from}/{to}
    • /debug/stateChanges/address/{address}/limit/{limit}
    • /debug/stateChanges/info/{id}
    • /transactions/address/{address}/limit/{limit}
    • /transactions/info/{id}
    • /transactions/status

    applicationStatus values:

    • succeeded — the transaction is successful
    • script_execution_failed — the dApp script or the asset script failed.

  • For failed invoke script transactions, the reason of failure is indicated in the error structure in the following endpoints:

    • /debug/stateChanges/address/{address}/limit/{limit}
    • /debug/stateChanges/info/{id}

    Format:

    "stateChanges": {
   "error": { "code": number, "text": string }
}

    Error codes are as follows:

    1: dApp script error

    2: insufficient fee for script actions

    3: asset script in dApp script actions denied the transaction

    4: asset script in attached payments denied the transaction

  • For invoke script transactions, the results of new script actions are represented in the stateChanges structure in the following endpoints:

    • /debug/stateChanges/address/{address}/limit/{limit}
    • /debug/stateChanges/info/{id}

    Format:

    "stateChanges": {
   "data": [],
   "transfers": [],
   "issues": [],
   "reissues": [],
   "burns": [],
   "sponsorFees": []
}

  • For block version 5, the reference field corresponds to id of the previous block instead of signature for block version 4.

# Breaking Changes

  • Retrieve blocks by id instead of signature.

    Deleted endpoints:

    • /blocks/signature/{signature} — use /blocks/{id} instead
    • /blocks/child/{signature}

    Affected endpoints:

    • /blocks/delay/{id}/{blockNum}
    • /blocks/height/{id}
    • /debug/rollback-to/{id}

  • Deleted the /consensus/generationsignature endpoint.

  • Changed the meta structure format in the /addresses/scriptInfo/{address}/meta endpoint. The argument list is represented as an object array, not the map.

    Before:

    "meta": {
   "callableFuncTypes": {
      "funcName": { 
         "arg1": string,
         "arg2": string
      }
   }
}

    Now:

    "meta": {
   "callableFuncTypes": {
      "funcName": [ 
         { "name": string, "type": string },
         { "name": string, "type": string }
      ]
   }
}

  • Added the new transaction type: Update Asset Info.

  • Invoke script transaction now can have arguments of List type.

    Example:

    { "call": { "function": string, "args": [ ["arg1-item1", "arg1-item2", "arg1-item3"] ] } }

  • Account data storage entries can be deleted by data transactions and invoke script transactions. Entry deletion is represented as follows: { "key": string, "value": null }, value is null, no type field. Can be found in:

    • /blocks/{id}
    • /blocks/address/{address}/{from}/{to}
    • /blocks/at/{height}
    • /blocks/last
    • /blocks/seq/{from}/{to}
    • /debug/stateChanges/address/{address}/limit/{limit}
    • /debug/stateChanges/info/{id}
    • /transactions/address/{address}/limit/{limit}
    • /transactions/info/{id}

  • Exchange transaction version 3 can include buy and sell orders in any order: buy/sell or sell/buy.

# Improvements

  • /debug/validate endpoint does not require API-key.

  • /assets/details endpoint can provide multiple assets info at once. The originTransactionId field containing the ID of the transaction that issued the asset is added to the response. Also, the endpoint supports POST requests.

  • /addresses/balance endpoint can provide balances for several addresses for specific height not more than 2000 from current.

  • /assets/nft/{address}/limit/{limit} endpoint returns the assetDetails array containing the list of NFTs belonging to the address is added to the response. Also, the endpoint supports POST requests.

  • Complexity of each annotated function is returned by the following endpoints:

    • /addresses/scriptInfo/{address}
    • /utils/script/compileCode
    • /utils/script/estimate

    Format:

    {
   "complexity": number,
   "callableComplexities": { "funcName1": number, "funcName2": number },
   "verifierComplexity": number
}

  • Added the /transactions/merkleProof endpoint that accepts the transaction ID or the array of transactions IDs and returns the array of proofs for checking that the transaction is in a block.

  • Added the id and transactionsRoot fields to the following endpoints:

    • /blocks/{id}
    • /blocks/headers/last
    • /blocks/headers/seq/{from}/{to}
    • /blocks/headers/at/{height}
    • /blocks/at/{height}
    • /blocks/address/{address}/{from}/{to}
    • /blocks/last
    • /blocks/seq/{from}/{to}

# Ride Improvements
