3.3 KiB

Changelog for internal API (ui-api)

3.2.0

  • Make ShowError, OnApprovedTx, OnSignerStartup be json-rpc notifications:

A Notification is a Request object without an "id" member. A Request object that is a Notification signifies the Client's lack of interest in the corresponding Response object, and as such no Response object needs to be returned to the client. The Server MUST NOT reply to a Notification, including those that are within a batch request.

Notifications are not confirmable by definition, since they do not have a Response object to be returned. As such, the Client would not be aware of any errors (like e.g. "Invalid params","Internal error"

3.1.0

  • Add ContentType string to SignDataRequest to accommodate the latest EIP-191 and EIP-712 implementations.

3.0.0

  • Make use of OnInputRequired(info UserInputRequest) for obtaining master password during startup

2.1.0

  • Add OnInputRequired(info UserInputRequest) to internal API. This method is used when Clef needs user input, e.g. passwords.

The following structures are used:

       UserInputRequest struct {
               Prompt     string `json:"prompt"`
               Title      string `json:"title"`
               IsPassword bool   `json:"isPassword"`
       }
       UserInputResponse struct {
               Text string `json:"text"`
       }

### 2.0.0

* Modify how `call_info` on a transaction is conveyed. New format:

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "ApproveTx", "params": [ { "transaction": { "from": "0x82A2A876D39022B3019932D30Cd9c97ad5616813", "to": "0x07a565b7ed7d7a678680a4c162885bedbb695fe0", "gas": "0x333", "gasPrice": "0x123", "value": "0x10", "nonce": "0x0", "data": "0x4401a6e40000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000012", "input": null }, "call_info": [ { "type": "WARNING", "message": "Invalid checksum on to-address" }, { "type": "WARNING", "message": "Tx contains data, but provided ABI signature could not be matched: Did not match: test (0 matches)" } ], "meta": { "remote": "127.0.0.1:54286", "local": "localhost:8550", "scheme": "HTTP/1.1" } } ] }


#### 1.2.0

* Add `OnStartup` method, to provide the UI with information about what API version
the signer uses (both internal and external) aswell as build-info and external api.

Example call:
```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "OnSignerStartup",
  "params": [
    {
      "info": {
        "extapi_http": "http://localhost:8550",
        "extapi_ipc": null,
        "extapi_version": "2.0.0",
        "intapi_version": "1.2.0"
      }
    }
  ]
}

1.1.0

  • Add OnApproved method

1.0.0

Initial release.

Versioning

The API uses semantic versioning.

TLDR; Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

  • MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
  • MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
  • PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
