Groovy Gluon 7.0 — Testnet Release Notes

Release Date: 19th of May

TL;DR Release Highlights:

• The hard fork took place at block 1,670,000 on the Testnet. To continue using your Testnet funds please upgrade your Testnet wallets!
• Numerous infrastructure improvements so that BEAM wallet (and Dapps in particular) work even more seamlessly and intuitively than before (90+ tasks in total — see in details here and here)

Improvements:

Plentiful user-oriented improvements have been implemented, including:

• Clearer notifications/errors/confirmations for users, so you won’t miss anything.
• Implemented IPFS integration. Support Documentation.
• Added support of HFTx (High-frequency transactions).
• Ability to recover a web wallet from a mobile recovery file.
• Wallet API users can now sign user messages correctly.
• Added Drag and Drop for the DApp store page. And lots of other minor interface improvements.
• Added social networks to the publisher page, now they can be linked to the profile.
• Linux version is now displayed properly on smaller resolutions.

Known limitations:

• When using active laser beam channels the CLI wallet should not be offline for over 24 hours
• Once generated, do not offer the same offline address to multiple senders of payments

Points to mention:

• Upon using Atomic Swaps with ETH, DAI, WBTC, and USDT, users will have to create an account on Infura.
• The sender of funds to a receiver’s Public Offline Address might be able to know that those funds are later being used by the receiver. Beam wallet and Beam explorer do not expose such functionality but it’s possible to derive this information by analyzing the Blockchain.
