v2.1.1

Release Notes

This is a minor release, with several improvements such as better handling of orders with problematic fees and a new verified moderators system.

Changelog

New Features

• Orders with fees that are too high relative to the total of the order are no longer blocked in the interface, they are blocked on the server when the purchase is attempted. If the fee is larger than 25% of the order total, it will be rejected, as this could cause refunds, canceled orders or moderated settlements to fail when a second fee is subtracted, leaving a negative balance. #1217
• When looking at an order's details, if the other party's contract has not been received yet (this can happen if the other node was offline at the time of purchase, and has not come back online yet) it will be indicated with an icon. The order details screen will update when the other contract arrives. #1232
• Orders that have an error will now be shown with an Error status in the Sales and Purchases screens. This will fix some problems with "missing" orders, and alert the buyer and seller that they need to retry the purchase. #1237
• A new verified moderators system has been added. Moderators that are verified by the user's current verification provider will be shown with a verified badge. Listings with at least one verified moderator available will also have a badge. This will assist users with choosing moderators and avoiding scams. Currently the verification moderator uses an OB1 service, an option to change the service used will be added in a future release. #1240

Improvements

• The way search works when switching providers has been improved. Now when switching providers only the search term, if any, the default value for showing nsfw listings from the user's settings, and the user's current cryptocurrency are applied. #1244
• The moderator display code has been rewritten to show moderators with invalid data, or that are no longer moderators, in the Settings/Store screen so users can remove them. #1221
• The BTC donation address was updated. #1247
• A max-width of 100% was added to images in the home tab on the user's page, to prevent large images from disrupting the layout. #1245

Bug Fixes

• Cosmetic fix to payment tooltips. #1234
• A bug where the inventory on a listing was not always saved was fixed. #1248
