2.2.0
Release Notes
This is a major release, which adds buying and selling cryptocurrencies, opt in analytics, and many optimizations and bug fixes.
This release is not backwards compatible with previous releases. Once you have installed this release, you cannot use your data with an older install.
Users with an older release will not be able to buy or view cryptocurrency listings made with this release. Store pages and search results that include cryptocurrencies will fail to display for those users.
This release uses version 0.12.0 of the openbazaar-go server.
Changelog
New Features
- The ability to buy and sell cryptocurrencies was added. The currencies can be sold at market rates. This feature is experimental, and is expected to be rapidly iterated on as we recieve feedback from users. #1308
- An opt-in analytics package was added. Users are able to choose to share non-identifying data with the development team. This will facilitate identifying bugs and improving the app. Users can start or stop sharing data at any time. #1277
Improvements
- Norweigan, Polish, and Ukranian translations reached the 80% translated requirement, and were added as options for the client. #1324
- When viewing your sales, unfunded orders will now be hidden by default, since you cannot take action on those orders, and they clutter up the list of orders. You can still chose to view those orders. #1310
- Listing card image loads will now cancel when the image card is no longer on the screen. This primarily improves the experience when changing pages in the search results or navigating away from a page of search results that hasn't finished loading. #1309
- Verified moderators are now lazy-loaded. This will speed up startup, and notify the user if the list of verified moderators changes while they are looking at information that will be affected by that change. #1298
- Verified moderators are loaded from a Tor endpoint if the user is in Tor mode. #1284
Bug Fixes
- Blockdozer changed their URL for viewing BCH transactions, the URL used when viewing details of transactions has been updated. #1320

- A problem where invalid mods would never stop loading was fixed. #1306
- Error messages meant for only the purchase flow no longer appear in the settings/store tab. #1306
