Release - v9.0.0
Huge Revamp!
This Scatter update includes an almost entire re-write of the UI/UX for Scatter. The only things that haven't changed yet are the "Settings" panel, and the "Sign Transaction" popup.
This massive update was due to an article I wrote recently. https://medium.com/@nsjames/blockchain-ux-should-just-be-ux-529c9ca55a8e
Changes ( oh god.. )
- Onboarding flow reduced to just setting up automatic Backups ( which is now enforced )
- Keys are now based on buffers to be compatible with all blockchains. Any key you import can now be used on every blockchain.
- Update notifications within Scatter for new releases.
- Semi-Automated Resource allocation with warnings when you are about to use your last resources.
- Automatic importing of all key-based accounts for EOS
- Vault entries are automatically named if they do not have one.
- Scatters only have 1 identity now in order to remove a step from the login process.
- If you only have 1 account that an app wants within your Scatter it will not ask you to accept it when providing an identity, it will automatically be provided after you accept the identity request.
- Transfers of value along with transfers of tokens.
- Added ability to save named "Contacts" from the transfer panel for easier resending of transfers.
- Users no longer have to accept network suggestions, but apps can only add on every 24 hours.
- Users no longer have to accept application links unless the link is tainted/broken
- When using
linkAccount
it no longer accepts theaccount
parameter, and does everything internally by forcing a total keypair relinking. This also prevents a bug that allowed dapps to add accounts to scatter which did not exist. - Receive panel which also provides POS style functionality with QR codes
- QR Code import for private keys
- No more mentions of blockchains, keys, or anything else technical.
authenticate
now requires a 12 character nonce and returns the following formatsha256(sha256(origin)+sha256(nonce))
signed by the private key of the identity.- And a lot more.
Coming Soon:
- Incremental Identity building by interacting with apps that need identity fields you don't have. You can add them in the popup and they will autosave to your identity for next time.
- Free accounts for EOS by proving long-standing social accounts ( uniqueness ) such as facebook which will use a hash pushed to the blockchain for singularity.
- Token breakdowns
- Custom token transfers need to show tokens available.
- Signature Popup needs a redesign
- CPUEmergency needs to be implemented for users who are already stuck without resources
- Ability to click an account from the vault and perform basic blockchain specific account actions like unstake and refund.
- Multi-node networks to solve intermittent network errors and countries with IP blockers.
- Minimizing ( derp, just forgot this one )
- New blockchain
