Particl Desktop v3.1.0

NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

RELEASE INFORMATION

BUILD NETWORK PARTICL CORE (MIN VERSION) MARKETPLACE VERSION WALLET VERSION
3.1.0 mainnet 0.21.2.5 0.3.4 1.6.0

UPDATES AND FIXES

This lists the changes that have been made since the release of v3.0.

[general]
  • Fixes various typos, incorrect button labels, and incorrect text/label related concerns.
  • Update to using core v0.21.
    • Note that for new users, a default wallet is not automatically created, and so the initial wallet generation (when using the wallet module as the first entry point) will allow for a wallet name to be provided.
    • The particl-core setting txindex will be explicitly enabled by automatically updating the particl.conf file.
[market module]

Included here are the changes applied to both the UI of the marketplace, as well as the market service, for convenience:

  • Allow for backing up the market profile mnemonic and passphrase. These are generated for the profile and stored in the particl-market database. Its far better to allow the user to back these up and remove them from the database.
    • Note that each market identity generated derives from the profile wallet, so backing up the profile means that all identity wallets created from that profile are backed up as well.
  • Remove the logging out of the profile wallet mnemonic and passphrase.
  • Fixed sent listing image smsgs from leaking some information related to the sender's machine.
  • Fixed an issue with the market browser search ignoring various search criteria under certain cases.
  • When removing a market, particl-core is now correctly informed so as to stop receiving smsg for that market.
  • Reduced the ring size used in marketplace transactions involving anon funds (such as listing fees) from 24 to 12. This should assist with reducing fees slightly.
  • A number of smsg processing issues have been fixed: these should provide for greater stability in both the processing of received smsg, as well as the sending of smsg.
  • The settings page has been updated to better reflect the settings it contains.
  • Fixed an issue when generating a new identity where if the profile wallet was encrypted it failed to generate the new identity: a prompt for the profile wallet passphrase is now correctly presented.
  • Fixed an issue where some settings were incorrectly editable while the market service was starting up.
  • Invalid or missing values on the shipping source country in the product/template editor are now clearly displayed. This field was often missed when creating an item for sale, and so should now have greater visibility when a value is missing.
  • The seller key has been added to the listings detail modal, as requested.
  • The promoting of a market using the incorrect market identity funds (in a multi-identity setup) in some cases, has been fixed.
  • In the market browser, a count of new items received (but not yet displayed) is shown alongside the refresh button.
  • Adds a button in the Settings page to allow for easy re-scanning of smsg messages (rather than needing to manually run commands or use workarounds such as joining a market to obtain the prompt to perform the re-scan).
    • Note that once a re-scan is performed, the button is disabled for a few minutes afterwards: this is normal and allows some time for any message processing to occur.
  • Edits to pricing via the batch publish modal are now possible: a percentage value can be set that will update the price of each item by the percentage provided, or alternatively a fixed price can be set per item. Instead of needing to update the price of each item individually prior to publishing, a seller making use of the batch publish feature can now set the prices of items in the batch publish modal.
  • Allow for the seller to specify escrow ratios:
    • This is available both via the user interface (in the product/template editor) as well as via the csv import (see the help text in the csv import wizard for further details).
    • These values can be viewed in the listings detail window.
    • Do note that various warnings are presented both when viewing a listing's details as well as during purchasing/checkout of items to indicate when non-standard escrow ratios are used.
    • Orders also indicate the escrow ratios used by both parties to provide any additional information that may be needed.
  • A button on each order is added to allow for the re-sending of the last action performed by the user. This might help where the other party never received the message (or some issue prevented the message from being processed correctly), and causing the transaction to appear "stuck". The workaround was typically to follow a set of instructions to manually perform the resend... the button replaces the need to perform the manual steps.
  • Images can now be imported via the csv import file to add images when creating initial products. Local paths as well as urls from the internet can be used. See the help text in the csv import wizard for further details.
[wallet module]
  • Use existing stealth addresses when performing a balance transfer: this helps to reduce the unnecessary generation of stealth addresses.
  • Wallets derived from another wallet (such as the identity wallets derived from the profile wallet in the marketplace) can now be restored. This is considered more of an advanced feature, but it does at least allow for a wallet/identity generated via the marketplace, for example, to be restored and for the user to regain access to their coins.
  • Show all wallets created: previously, the market generated profile wallet was hidden from the displayed wallets, which has been updated.
  • A new setting has been added to set the default ring size value used when performing a transaction using anon balance. The ring size can still be edited per transaction: this just allows for setting the initial/default value used.
  • Updates the default ring size to 12 from 24.
  • Fixes an issue in using a very high inputs_per_sig value on anon related transactions. This should also reduce the transaction fee slightly.
  • Updates the locked balance value displayed by using the new particl-core rpc command getlockedbalances for this purpose. The previous means attempted to calculate the locked balance but in some cases incorrectly included the wrong values.
  • Fixes the displaying of the fee amount showing as the transferred amount for conversion transactions in the transaction table (and also in the overview page).
  • Adds checks to the zapping detail modal to ensure that addresses used during zapping actually belong to the wallet. This is more of a preventative measure.
  • Consolidates both of the wallet settings to split utxos for public transactions and private transactions into a single "default" setting value. The distinction between the two different settings was somewhat confusing.
  • The Send/Convert page now includes a control to allow for ease of splitting the amount transacted into distinct utxos more easily. Having the control only in the settings page made it tedious to use, and the control makes more sense in the Send/Convert page, where its most useful.
    • The default utxo split control in the wallet settings provides the initial/default value for the control in the Send/Convert page.
  • The max value for the utxo splitting has been increased from 20 to 100 per transaction.

NOTES

  • There will be an automatic update to the latest supported particl-core version, if applicable, when the application is launched.
  • If using an encrypted marketplace wallet, the wallet needs to be unlocked in order to process buy and sell orders on the open marketplace. It is not necessary to unlock the wallet to browse listed items.
  • The marketplace is still in on-going development, and thus is considered to be a Beta release.
  • NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

KNOWN ISSUES

  • Please only use the .dmg file to install the application for Mac OSX 10.15 or greater. The .app file extracted from the zip package does not currently run on OSX 10.15 (although it should work correctly on 10.14 (Mojave) or earlier).

Particl Desktop v3.0.0

NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

RELEASE INFORMATION

BUILD NETWORK PARTICL CORE (MIN VERSION) MARKETPLACE VERSION WALLET VERSION
3.0.0 mainnet 0.19.2.15 0.3.3 1.5.0

This is the next major revision of the Particl Desktop application!!

The changes are too vast and plentiful to enumerate, so instead of listing them all individually (which wouldn't make much sense anyway), below instead are the highlights. The application has undergone a significant re-write, which marks the beginning of the journey to becoming a hub for Particl related privacy-focused apps and uses. And this is just the beginning :)

Please note that there are many smaller changes, updates and features to be found than just those mentioned below... for more information, tutorials, and Particl related material, please visit the Particl Academy or browse the particl.io website.
Here are the larger change details:

Separation of functionality into different modules

Related functionality is now grouped together to form a standalone set of related work. In other words, all the wallet specific functionality is now in a wallet app, and the marketplace specific functionality is now in a market module. This is the 1st step towards independent installable modules that can be added or removed as needed.

A huge consequence of this set up, which should be noticeable immediately, is that the marketplace is no longer hidden behind the creation of a specific-named wallet.

Marketplace caters to custom markets (including general markets and storefronts)

While it was technically possible to run a custom market in the v2 releases, it involved editing config files and was somewhat flaky to get correct (also only allowing for connecting to a single market at a time).
The marketplace service has undergone a major overhaul to allow for the creation and management of user-defined marketplaces: both general, open markets (those in which anyone can buy and sell) and storefront markets (where anyone can buy but only the seller, or those that the seller provides a publish key to, can sell items). This involves changing most things from publishing listings (to be able to select a market to publish to), as well as the purchasing of items.

Further, the contents of each market is encrypted, and only those users that have the relevant access keys can view the contents of a market. To assist with market discovery for markets that wish to be found, a market can be 'marketed' and the access keys can be made known, in an in-built market browser. This allows potential buyers to discover such "promoted" markets and join them as they so wish.
For more exclusive markets, how the access keys are distributed to potential buyers is at the discretion of the market creator.

Updates to marketplace interaction

Based on feedback from usage of v2, there has been a number of improvements to various marketplace activities. From being able to create listings from anon balances, to having a place to modify shipping addresses (without needing to first proceed through the cart checkout process), through to changing the market overview page to make it more intuitive as to which amounts are used for different purposes, these improvements should contribute towards a better experience whether buying or selling or both.

Wallet improvement updates

While perhaps not as significant as the marketplace changes, updates to the wallet have also been made. These include the addition of configurable options when 'zapping' cold staking funds, the inclusion of a basic coin control selection when sending funds, as well as the ability to split the sent funds into multiple outputs in a transaction.

UI Updates

The UI has undergone a facelift, and while the general look and feel of the v2 application is still somewhat present, its had multiple coats of polish and is now looking and feeling sleeker (and cleaner) than ever!
To compliment the UI and visual tweaks and updates, the code has been de-cluttered and the application as a whole runs smoother and faster. In addition, a focus on pushing notifications for updates (eg: utilizing ZMQ for particl-core updates) means that the UI now provides feedback from various events quicker and faster, with no more waiting for updates and indications of activity sometimes long after they have occurred (ie: no more long-polling to obtain updated information).

NOTES

  • A working instance of particl-core is required: there will be an automatic download of particl-core when starting the application, if no previous install of particl-core is found.
  • If using an encrypted marketplace wallet, the wallet needs to be unlocked in order to process buy and sell orders on the open marketplace. It is not necessary to unlock the wallet to browse listed items.
  • The marketplace is still in on-going development, and thus is considered to be a Beta release.
  • NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

KNOWN ISSUES

  • Anti-virus on Windows may incorrectly identify the particl-core binary that gets downloaded after installation as malware. This is a false positive, and relevant exceptions should be added.
  • Still with Windows, the initial syncing of the Particl blockchain that occurs may take longer than expected. Once the more obvious reasons (such as network connection and speed) have been eliminated, this might be related to, once again, anti-virus software scanning. Its possible to add scanning exceptions into the antivirus software that should then allow for a faster initial sync: the exact steps to achieve this will vary based on what anti-virus software is being used and so are not described here. But for further information please refer to the Particl Academy website.

UI UPDATES

  • Includes an indicator in the menu bar of the 'market' wallet notifying the user that bid messages cannot be processed while the wallet is locked (clicking on the indicator prompts for the wallet to be unlocked).

ENHANCEMENTS

  • The marketplace now checks that the smsg addresses used (particularly for bid messages) are properly registered. This prevents messages from being unable to be decrypted and thus processed by the marketplace in cases where the relevant smsg address has been "forgotten" by particl-core (such as when deleting particl-core files and folders).

This patch release fixes an issue that occurs when using the Marketplace with particl-core v0.19.1.1. This fixes an error that occurs when attempting to complete a step during the buy-flow.

NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

RELEASE INFORMATION

BUILD NETWORK PARTICL CORE (MIN VERSION) MARKETPLACE VERSION
2.3.3 mainnet 0.19.1.1 0.2.8

FIXED ISSUES

  • Fixed an issue in which completing some of the steps during a purchase in the open marketplace may not work correctly with particl-core v0.19.x
  • Tweaked some of the exchange bot handling code to provide some optimizations and to handle future potential changes.

REQUIREMENTS

  • For a new installation: in order to “activate” the open marketplace, the user needs to add a wallet named “Market” (any capitalization would work). The open marketplace is currently only available via the Particl Desktop on this wallet.

NOTES

  • There will be an automatic update to the latest supported particl-core version, if applicable, when the marketplace is launched.
  • If using an encrypted marketplace wallet, the wallet needs to be unlocked in order to process buy and sell orders on the open marketplace. It is not necessary to unlock the wallet to process or browse listed items.
  • The marketplace is still in on-going development, and thus is considered to be a Beta release.
  • NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

KNOWN ISSUES

  • Please only use the .dmg file to install the application for Mac OSX 10.15 or greater. The .app file extracted from the zip package does not currently run on OSX 10.15 (although it should work correctly on 10.14 (Mojave) or earlier)

This patch release is intended to fix a number of issues with the application startup: the application startup and shutdown process has been re-worked, which introduces 2 new UI elements.

NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

RELEASE INFORMATION

BUILD NETWORK PARTICL CORE (MIN VERSION) MARKETPLACE VERSION
2.3.2 mainnet 0.18.1.6 0.2.7

UI TWEAKS

  • Status messages are now displayed on the loading screen when starting up the application and switching between wallets. This should provide an indicator that the startup is proceeding, or that an error has occurred if something fails during startup.
  • A closing modal is now displayed during the shutdown process while the application is shutting down.

FIXED ISSUES

  • The application startup now checks for a running daemon before validating local particl-core binaries or even checking for valid versions. Fixes a long standing problem described in #892
  • Fixes the regression with particl core cookie files: the application now properly determines when to read the daemon cookie file.
  • Application startup is no longer dependent on timers polling for various states of activity. This should allow for minor startup performance improvements in many cases.
  • Application shutdown now properly waits for the running daemon to close before closing the visual user interface. This removes the need to try estimate the waiting time of the application shut down, before it can be restarted, which is a particularly annoying issue on Windows. Fixes issues related to #1624
  • The running application's taskbar icon is now removed immediately when the application begins shutting down, preventing a number of errors in attempting to make use of it while the shutdown process continues. See #1598 as an example.
  • A single state application instance has been introduced: this means that the application no longer breaks in many cases when attempting to start more than one instance at a time. Attempting to start a second instance will simply switch to the current open/running instance.
  • Testnet and mainnet versions of the application are now properly separated. This fixes reports of testnet installations overriding existing mainnet installs on some operating systems, and ensures that future testnet versions can be installed alongside existing mainnet releases.
  • Fixes an issue where a newly created wallet was not changed to after successful creation (the default wallet would be loaded instead).
  • Imports using CSV files now have an explicit indicator to inform the user of any failed imports.
  • Fixes an issue with items in the cart not being displayed in some cases, requiring the user to clear the cart (with nothing visibly in the cart) in order to add items to it.

REQUIREMENTS

  • For a new installation: in order to “activate” the open marketplace, the user needs to add a wallet named “Market” (any capitalization would work). The open marketplace is currently only available via the Particl Desktop on this wallet.

NOTES

  • There will be an automatic update to the latest supported particl-core version, if applicable, when the marketplace is launched.
  • If using an encrypted marketplace wallet, the wallet needs to be unlocked in order to process buy and sell orders on the open marketplace. It is not necessary to unlock the wallet to process or browse listed items.
  • The marketplace is still in on-going development, and thus is considered to be a Beta release.
  • NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

KNOWN ISSUES

This is a feature update release for the v2 Particl Desktop application, which includes the Open Marketplace. The primary focus of this release has been the inclusion of an Exchange Bot.

NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

RELEASE INFORMATION

BUILD NETWORK PARTICL CORE (MIN VERSION) MARKETPLACE VERSION
2.3.0 mainnet 0.18.1.6 0.2.6

NEW FEATURES/FUNCTIONALITY ADDED

  • Implemented an exchange bot functionality, enabling users to exchange their BTC for PART

ENHANCEMENTS (UPDATES TO EXISTING FEATURES)

  • Listing statistics have been added to the marketplace. These are available in the Desktop via the Market tab in the Console modal.
  • The cancelling of a bid has been extended to include the buyer's Escrow Pending (the buyer's payment) step: the buyer may now cancel a bid even after making payment, but before the seller has made payment to complete and lock the escrow (which was previously not possible).

UI TWEAKS

  • Updated labels and statuses to avoid potential confusion:
    • the 'Buy' menu label has been changed to 'Purchases';
    • the filter state in the buy flow has been updated from 'Escrow Locked' to 'Escrow Pending' to reflect that the escrow payment has only been completed by the buyer and the escrow is still pending the seller's input (to make the escrow complete);
    • status descriptions in the buyflow related to the 'Escrow' step have been updated to reflect when the escrow is actually locked, and when it is still pending.

FIXED ISSUES

  • Testnet wallets are now correctly hidden on Windows OS when using the mainnet network.
  • Sending of public balance funds to a private address was previously creating a public transaction: this has been fixed so that the sending of funds to a private address always creates an anon transaction instead.
  • Fixes an issue in which the 'Awaiting' status of a published template would change to 'Unpublished' if the user restarted the application and viewed the template status before any confirmations on the listing fee transaction had been made.

REQUIREMENTS

  • In order to “activate” the open marketplace, the user needs to add a wallet named “Market” (any capitalization would work). The open marketplace is currently only available via the Particl Desktop on this wallet.

NOTES

  • There will be an automatic update to the latest supported particl-core version, if applicable, when the marketplace is launched.
  • If using an encrypted marketplace wallet, the wallet needs to be unlocked in order to process buy and sell orders on the open marketplace. It is not necessary to unlock the wallet to process or browse listed items.
  • The marketplace is still in on-going development, and thus is considered to be a Beta release.

NB!! The source code linked to here is not the actual tagged release source code. Please contact Particl for source code information. The actual source code will be uploaded and made available after an appropriate interval of time has passed.

RELEASE INFORMATION

BUILD NETWORK PARTICL CORE (MIN VERSION) MARKETPLACE VERSION
2.2.0 mainnet 0.18.1.6 0.2.4

NEW FEATURES/FUNCTIONALITY ADDED

  • Any of the parties involved in a marketplace transaction may now cancel a bid/order up until the escrow transaction has been finalized.
  • The initial settings for wallet specific and global activity have been implemented.
  • Signed and notarized Mac OSX dmg installer created, which should assist with new installations on OSX >=10.15 (Catalina)

ENHANCEMENTS (UPDATES TO EXISTING FEATURES)

  • Implements the first iteration of notifying the user of updates on Q&A comments on listing items: when a seller answers a buyers question or a buyer asks a question on a seller's item(s).
  • The Orders tab on each of the Buy and Sell pages now has a badge count indicating the number of orders requiring the user's attention.
  • The Orders tab on each of the Buy and Sell pages is now set as the first tab that is loaded (except if items are in the cart, in which case navigating to the Buy page will display the Cart tab first).
  • The last used wallet when the application is closed is now the active wallet when the application starts up.

UI TWEAKS

  • Minor graphical tweaks applied.

FIXED ISSUES

  • Console Modal: fixes an error is parsing requests if string inputs (such as a password string) contains square or curly brackets.
  • Desktop version update checker: fixes a formatting error causing the desktop to always belive that it is the latest version, even if newer Particl Desktop versions exist.
  • Particl Desktop now correctly connects to a running daemon instead of appearing to hang at the loading screen.
  • Multi-wallets: fixes an issue where wallet transactional notifications were not triggering for any wallets once a wallet change occurred.
  • Marketplace notifications: now render correctly for all buyflow actions instead of just the first action in the buyflow (New Bid notification or Bid Accept notification) in some cases.
  • The loading modal was not always closing correctly after processing a vote change on a listing item, forcing the user to restart the application: this has been corrected.
  • Fixes an issue causing two or more activity modals to overlay each other when unlocking a wallet to perform an action from a wallet already unlocked for staking only (making it appear that the activity modal was not closing).

REQUIREMENTS

  • In order to “activate” the open marketplace, the user needs to add a wallet named “Market” (any capitalization would work). The open marketplace is currently only available via the Particl Desktop on this wallet.

NOTES

  • There will be an automatic update to the latest supported particl-core version, if applicable, when the marketplace is launched.
  • If using an encrypted marketplace wallet, the wallet needs to be unlocked in order to process buy and sell orders on the open marketplace. It is not necessary to unlock the wallet to process or browse listed items.
  • The marketplace is still in on-going development, and thus is considered to be a Beta release.
