Changelog

Unreleased

Here are brief summaries of what's changed between each snapshot release. This includes guidance on how to upgrade code from the previous milestone release.

  • Serializing an inner class (non-static nested class in Java, inner class in Kotlin) will be rejected explicitly by the serialization framework. Prior to this change it didn't work, but the error thrown was opaque (complaining about too few arguments to a constructor). Whilst this was possible in the older Kryo implementation (Kryo passing null as the synthesised reference to the outer class) as per the Java documentation here we are disallowing this as the paradigm in general makes little sense for Contract States

  • Fix CORDA-1258. Custom serializers were spuriously registered every time a serialization factory was fetched from the cache rather than only once when it was created. Whilst registering serializers that already exist is essentially a no-op, it's a performance overhead for a very frequent operation that hits a synchronisation point (and is thus flagged as contended by our perfomance suite)

  • Update the fast-classpath-scanner dependent library version from 2.0.21 to 2.12.3

    Note

    Whilst this is not the latest version of this library, that being 2.18.1 at time of writing, versions later

    than 2.12.3 (including 2.12.4) exhibit a different issue.

  • Node can be shut down abruptly by shutdown function in CordaRPCOps or gracefully (draining flows first) through gracefulShutdown command from shell.

  • Carpenter Exceptions will be caught internally by the Serializer and rethrown as a NotSerializableException

    • Specific details of the error encountered are logged to the node's log file. More information can be enabled by setting the debug level to trace ; this will cause the full stack trace of the error to be dumped into the log.

  • Parsing of NodeConfiguration will now fail if unknown configuration keys are found.

  • The web server now has its own web-server.conf file, separate from node.conf.

  • Introduced a placeholder for custom properties within node.conf; the property key is "custom".

  • Property keys with double quotes (e.g. "key") in node.conf are no longer allowed, for rationale refer to corda-configuration-file.

  • java.math.BigInteger serialization support added.

  • java.security.cert.CRLReason added to the default Whitelist.

  • java.security.cert.X509CRL serialization support added.

  • Added NetworkMapCache.getNodesByLegalName for querying nodes belonging to a distributed service such as a notary cluster where they all share a common identity. NetworkMapCache.getNodeByLegalName has been tightened to throw if more than one node with the legal name is found.

  • Per CorDapp configuration is now exposed. CordappContext now exposes a CordappConfig object that is populated at CorDapp context creation time from a file source during runtime.

  • Introduced Flow Draining mode, in which a node continues executing existing flows, but does not start new. This is to support graceful node shutdown/restarts. In particular, when this mode is on, new flows through RPC will be rejected, scheduled flows will be ignored, and initial session messages will not be consumed. This will ensure that the number of checkpoints will strictly diminish with time, allowing for a clean shutdown.

  • Make the serialisation finger-printer a pluggable entity rather than hard wiring into the factory

  • Removed blacklisted word checks in Corda X.500 name to allow "Server" or "Node" to be use as part of the legal name.

  • Separated our pre-existing Artemis broker into an RPC broker and a P2P broker.

  • Refactored NodeConfiguration to expose NodeRpcOptions (using top-level "rpcAddress" property still works with warning).

  • Modified CordaRPCClient constructor to take a SSLConfiguration? additional parameter, defaulted to null.

  • Introduced CertificateChainCheckPolicy.UsernameMustMatchCommonName sub-type, allowing customers to optionally enforce username == CN condition on RPC SSL certificates.

  • Modified DriverDSL and sub-types to allow specifying RPC settings for the Node.

  • Modified the DriverDSL to start Cordformation nodes allowing automatic generation of "rpcSettings.adminAddress" in case "rcpSettings.useSsl" is false (the default).

  • Introduced UnsafeCertificatesFactory allowing programmatic generation of X509 certificates for test purposes.

  • JPA Mapping annotations for States extending CommonSchemaV1.LinearState and CommonSchemaV1.FungibleState on the participants collection need to be moved to the actual class. This allows to properly specify the unique table name per a collection. See: DummyDealStateSchemaV1.PersistentDummyDealState

  • JPA Mapping annotations for States extending CommonSchemaV1.LinearState and CommonSchemaV1.FungibleState on the participants collection need to be moved to the actual State class. This allows developers to properly specify the table name for the participants collection. For an example on how the mapping can be done, see: DummyDealStateSchemaV1.PersistentDummyDealState

  • JDBC drivers for SQL server and PostgresSQL are no longer bundled as part of Corda releases. If you are running a node on such databases you need to provide the associated driver as described in node-database.

R3 Corda 3.0 Developer Preview

  • X.509 certificates now have an extension that specifies the Corda role the certificate is used for, and the role hierarchy is now enforced in the validation code. See net.corda.core.internal.CertRole for the current implementation until final documentation is prepared. Certificates at NODE_CA, WELL_KNOWN_SERVICE_IDENTITY and above must only ever be issued by network services and therefore issuance constraints are not relevant to end users. The TLS and WELL_KNOWN_LEGAL_IDENTITY roles must be issued by the NODE_CA certificate issued by the Doorman, and CONFIDENTIAL_IDENTITY certificates must be issued from a WELL_KNOWN_LEGAL_IDENTITY certificate. For a detailed specification of the extension please see permissioning.

  • The network map service concept has been re-designed. More information can be found in network-map.

    • The previous design was never intended to be final but was rather a quick implementation in the earliest days of the Corda project to unblock higher priority items. It suffered from numerous disadvantages including lack of scalability, as one node was expected to hold open and manage connections to every node on the network; not reliable; hard to defend against DoS attacks; etc.
    • There is no longer a special network map node for distributing the network map to the other nodes. Instead the network map is now a collection of signed NodeInfo files distributed via HTTP.
    • The certificateSigningService config has been replaced by compatibilityZoneURL which is the base URL for the doorman registration and for downloading the network map. There is also an end-point for the node to publish its node-info object, which the node does each time it changes. networkMapService config has been removed.
    • To support local and test deployments, the node polls the additional-node-infos directory for these signed NodeInfo objects which are stored in its local cache. On startup the node generates its own signed file with the filename format "nodeInfo-*". This can be copied to every node's additional-node-infos directory that is part of the network.
    • Cordform (which is the deployNodes gradle task) does this copying automatically for the demos. The NetworkMap parameter is no longer needed.
    • For test deployments we've introduced a bootstrapping tool (see setting-up-a-corda-network).
    • extraAdvertisedServiceIds, notaryNodeAddress, notaryClusterAddresses and bftSMaRt configs have been removed. The configuration of notaries has been simplified into a single notary config object. See corda-configuration-file for more details.
    • Introducing the concept of network parameters which are a set of constants which all nodes on a network must agree on to correctly interop. These can be retrieved from ServiceHub.networkParameters.
    • One of these parameters, maxTransactionSize, limits the size of a transaction, including its attachments, so that all nodes have sufficient memory to validate transactions.
    • The set of valid notaries has been moved to the network parameters. Notaries are no longer identified by the CN in their X.500 name.
    • Single node notaries no longer have a second separate notary identity. Their main identity is their notary identity. Use NetworkMapCache.notaryIdentities to get the list of available notaries.
    • Added NetworkMapCache.getNodesByLegalName for querying nodes belonging to a distributed service such as a notary cluster where they all share a common identity. NetworkMapCache.getNodeByLegalName has been tightened to throw if more than one node with the legal name is found.
    • The common name in the node's X.500 legal name is no longer reserved and can be used as part of the node's name.
    • Moved NodeInfoSchema to internal package as the node info's database schema is not part of the public API. This was needed to allow changes to the schema.

  • Support for external user credentials data source and password encryption [CORDA-827].

* Integrate database migration tool: http://www.liquibase.org/ :
  • The migration files are split per MappedSchemas. (added new property: migrationResource used to point to the resource file containing the db changes corresponding to the JPA entities)
  • config flag database.initialiseSchema was renamed to: database.runMigration (if true then the migration is run during startup just before hibernate is initialised.)
  • config flag: database.serverNameTablePrefix was removed as we no longer use table prefixes
  • New command line argument:—just-generate-db-migration outputSqlFile: this will generate the delta from the last release, and will output the resulting sql into the outputSqlFile. It will not write to the db. It will not start the node!
  • New command line argument: --just-run-db-migration: this will only run the db migration. It will not start the node!
* Exporting additional JMX metrics (artemis, hibernate statistics) and loading Jolokia agent at JVM startup when using

DriverDSL and/or cordformation node runner.

* Removed confusing property database.initDatabase, enabling its guarded behaviour with the dev-mode.

In devMode Hibernate will try to create or update database schemas, otherwise it will expect relevant schemas to be present in the database (pre configured via DDL scripts or equivalent), and validate these are correct.

  • ConfigUtilities now read system properties for a node. This allow to specify data source properties at runtime.
  • AttachmentStorage now allows providing metadata on attachments upload - username and filename, currently as plain strings. Those can be then used for querying, utilizing queryAttachments method of the same interface.
  • SSH Server - The node can now expose shell via SSH server with proper authorization and permissioning built in.
  • CordaRPCOps implementation now checks permissions for any function invocation, rather than just when starting flows.
  • wellKnownPartyFromAnonymous() now always resolve the key to a Party, then the party to the well known party. Previously if it was passed a Party it would use its name as-is without verifying the key matched that name.
  • OpaqueBytes.bytes now returns a clone of its underlying ByteArray, and has been redeclared as final. This is a minor change to the public API, but is required to ensure that classes like SecureHash are immutable.
  • Experimental support for PostgreSQL: CashSelection done using window functions
  • FlowLogic now exposes a series of function called receiveAll(...) allowing to join receive(...) instructions.
  • Renamed "plugins" directory on nodes to "cordapps"
  • The Cordformation gradle plugin has been split into cordformation and cordapp. The former builds and deploys nodes for development and testing, the latter turns a project into a cordapp project that generates JARs in the standard CorDapp format.
  • Cordapp now has a name field for identifying CorDapps and all CorDapp names are printed to console at startup.
  • Enums now respect the whitelist applied to the Serializer factory serializing / deserializing them. If the enum isn't either annotated with the @CordaSerializable annotation or explicitly whitelisted then a NotSerializableException is thrown.
  • Gradle task deployNodes can have an additional parameter configFile with the path to a properties file to be appended to node.conf.
  • Cordformation node building DSL can have an additional parameter configFile with the path to a properties file to be appended to node.conf.
  • FlowLogic now has a static method called sleep which can be used in certain circumstances to help with resolving contention over states in flows. This should be used in place of any other sleep primitive since these are not compatible with flows and their use will be prevented at some point in the future. Pay attention to the warnings and limitations described in the documentation for this method. This helps resolve a bug in Cash coin selection. A new static property currentTopLevel returns the top most FlowLogic instance, or null if not in a flow.
  • CordaService annotated classes should be upgraded to take a constructor parameter of type AppServiceHub which allows services to start flows marked with the StartableByService annotation. For backwards compatability service classes with only ServiceHub constructors will still work.
  • TimeWindow now has a length property that returns the length of the time-window as a java.time.Duration object, or null if the time-window isn't closed.
  • A new SIGNERS_GROUP with ordinal 6 has been added to ComponentGroupEnum that corresponds to the Command signers.
  • PartialMerkleTree is equipped with a leafIndex function that returns the index of a hash (leaf) in the partial Merkle tree structure.
  • A new function checkCommandVisibility(publicKey: PublicKey) has been added to FilteredTransaction to check if every command that a signer should receive (e.g. an Oracle) is indeed visible.
  • Changed the AMQP serialiser to use the officially assigned R3 identifier rather than a placeholder.
  • The ReceiveTransactionFlow can now be told to record the transaction at the same time as receiving it. Using this feature, better support for observer/regulator nodes has been added. See tutorial-observer-nodes.
  • Added an overload of TransactionWithSignatures.verifySignaturesExcept which takes in a collection of PublicKeys.
  • DriverDSLExposedInterface has been renamed to DriverDSL and the waitForAllNodesToFinish() method has instead become a parameter on driver creation.
  • Values for the database.transactionIsolationLevel config now follow the java.sql.Connection int constants but without the "TRANSACTION" prefix, i.e. "NONE", "READ_UNCOMMITTED", etc.
  • Peer-to-peer communications is now via AMQP 1.0 as default. Although the legacy Artemis CORE bridging can still be used by setting the useAMQPBridges configuration property to false.
  • The Artemis topics used for peer-to-peer communication have been changed to be more consistent with future cryptographic agility and to open up the future possibility of sharing brokers between nodes. This is a breaking wire level change as it means that nodes after this change will not be able to communicate correctly with nodes running the previous version. Also, any pending enqueued messages in the Artemis message store will not be delivered correctly to their original target. However, assuming a clean reset of the artemis data and that the nodes are consistent versions, data persisted via the AMQP serializer will be forward compatible.
  • The ability for CordaServices to register callbacks so they can be notified of shutdown and clean up resource such as open ports.
  • Enterprise Corda only: Compatibility with SQL Server 2017 and SQL Azure databases.
  • Enterprise Corda only: node configuration property database.schema and documented existing database properties.
  • Enterprise Corda only: Compatibility with PostgreSQL 9.6 database.
  • Enterprise Corda only: Compatibility with Oracle 11g RC2 and 12c database.
  • Move to a message based control of peer to peer bridge formation to allow for future out of process bridging components. This removes the legacy Artemis bridges completely, so the useAMQPBridges configuration property has been removed.
  • A CordaInternal attribute has been added to identify properties that are not intended to form part of the public api and as such are not intended for public use. This is alongside the existing DoNotImplement attribute for classes which provide Corda functionality to user applications, but should not be implemented by consumers, and any classes which are defined in .internal packages, which are also not for public use.
  • Marked stateMachine on FlowLogic as CordaInternal to make clear that is it not part of the public api and is only for internal use
  • Provided experimental support for specifying your own webserver to be used instead of the default development webserver in Cordform using the webserverJar argument
  • Created new StartedMockNode and UnstartedMockNode classes which are wrappers around our MockNode implementation that expose relevant methods for testing without exposing internals, create these using a MockNetwork.
  • The test utils in Expect.kt, SerializationTestHelpers.kt, TestConstants.kt and TestUtils.kt have moved from the net.corda.testing package to the net.corda.testing.core package, and FlowStackSnapshot.kt has moved to the net.corda.testing.services package. Moving existing classes out of the net.corda.testing.* package will help make it clearer which parts of the api are stable. Scripts have been provided to smooth the upgrade process for existing projects in the tools\scripts directory of the Corda repo.

Corda 2.0

  • OpaqueBytes.bytes now returns a clone of its underlying ByteArray, and has been redeclared as final. This is a minor change to the public API, but is required to ensure that classes like SecureHash are immutable.
  • FlowLogic now has a static method called sleep which can be used in certain circumstances to help with resolving contention over states in flows. This should be used in place of any other sleep primitive since these are not compatible with flows and their use will be prevented at some point in the future. Pay attention to the warnings and limitations described in the documentation for this method. This helps resolve a bug in Cash coin selection. A new static property currentTopLevel returns the top most FlowLogic instance, or null if not in a flow.

Corda 1.0

  • Unification of VaultQuery And VaultService APIs Developers now only need to work with a single Vault Service API for all needs.

  • Java 8 lambdas now work property with Kryo during check-pointing.

  • Java 8 serializable lambdas now work property with Kryo during check-pointing.

  • String constants have been marked as const type in Kotlin, eliminating cases where functions of the form get<constant name>() were created for the Java API. These can now be referenced by their name directly.

  • FlowLogic communication has been extensively rewritten to use functions on FlowSession as the base for communication between nodes.

    • Calls to send(), receive() and sendAndReceive() on FlowLogic should be replaced with calls to the function of the same name on FlowSession. Note that the replacement functions do not take in a destination parameter, as this is defined in the session.
    • Initiated flows now take in a FlowSession instead of Party in their constructor. If you need to access the counterparty identity, it is in the counterparty property of the flow session.

  • Added X509EdDSAEngine to intercept and rewrite EdDSA public keys wrapped in X509Key instances. This corrects an issue with verifying certificate paths loaded from a Java Keystore where they contain EdDSA keys.

  • Confidential identities are now complete:

    • The identity negotiation flow is now called SwapIdentitiesFlow, renamed from TransactionKeyFlow.
    • generateSpend() now creates a new confidential identity for the change address rather than using the identity of the input state owner.
    • Please see the documentation key-concepts-identity and api-identity for more details.

  • Remove the legacy web front end from the SIMM demo.

  • NodeInfo and NetworkMapCache changes:

    • Removed NodeInfo::legalIdentity in preparation for handling of multiple identities. We left list of NodeInfo::legalIdentitiesAndCerts, the first identity still plays a special role of main node identity.
    • We no longer support advertising services in network map. Removed NodeInfo::advertisedServices, serviceIdentities and notaryIdentity.
    • Removed service methods from NetworkMapCache: partyNodes, networkMapNodes, notaryNodes, regulatorNodes, getNodesWithService, getPeersWithService, getRecommended, getNodesByAdvertisedServiceIdentityKey, getAnyNotary, notaryNode, getAnyServiceOfType. To get all known NodeInfo's call allNodes.
    • In preparation for NetworkMapService redesign and distributing notaries through NetworkParameters we added NetworkMapCache::notaryIdentities list to enable to lookup for notary parties known to the network. Related CordaRPCOps::notaryIdentities was introduced. Other special nodes parties like Oracles or Regulators need to be specified directly in CorDapp or flow.
    • Moved ServiceType and ServiceInfo to net.corda.nodeapi package as services are only required on node startup.

  • Adding enum support to the class carpenter

  • ContractState::contract has been moved TransactionState::contract and it's type has changed to String in order to support dynamic classloading of contract and contract constraints.

  • CorDapps that contain contracts are now automatically loaded into the attachment storage - for CorDapp developers this now means that contracts should be stored in separate JARs to flows, services and utilities to avoid large JARs being auto imported to the attachment store.

  • About half of the code in test-utils has been moved to a new module node-driver, and the test scope modules are now located in a testing directory.

  • CordaPluginRegistry has been renamed to SerializationWhitelist and moved to the net.corda.core.serialization package. The API for whitelisting types that can't be annotated was slightly simplified. This class used to contain many things, but as we switched to annotations and classpath scanning over time it hollowed out until this was the only functionality left. You also need to rename your services resource file to the new class name. An associated property on MockNode was renamed from testPluginRegistries to testSerializationWhitelists.

  • Contract Upgrades: deprecated RPC authorisation / deauthorisation API calls in favour of equivalent flows in ContractUpgradeFlow. Implemented contract upgrade persistence using JDBC backed persistent map.

  • Vault query common attributes (state status and contract state types) are now handled correctly when using composite criteria specifications. State status is overridable. Contract states types are aggregatable.

  • Cash selection algorithm is now pluggable (with H2 being the default implementation)

  • Removed usage of Requery ORM library (repalced with JPA/Hibernate)

  • Vault Query performance improvement (replaced expensive per query SQL statement to obtain concrete state types with single query on start-up followed by dynamic updates using vault state observable))

  • Vault Query fix: filter by multiple issuer names in FungibleAssetQueryCriteria

  • Following deprecated methods have been removed:

    • In DataFeed
      • first and current, replaced by snapshot
      • second and future, replaced by updates
    • In CordaRPCOps
      • stateMachinesAndUpdates, replaced by stateMachinesFeed
      • verifiedTransactions, replaced by verifiedTransactionsFeed
      • stateMachineRecordedTransactionMapping, replaced by stateMachineRecordedTransactionMappingFeed
      • networkMapUpdates, replaced by networkMapFeed

  • Due to security concerns and the need to remove the concept of state relevancy (which isn't needed in Corda), ResolveTransactionsFlow has been made internal. Instead merge the receipt of the SignedTransaction and the subsequent sub-flow call to ResolveTransactionsFlow with a single call to ReceiveTransactionFlow. The flow running on the counterparty must use SendTransactionFlow at the correct place. There is also ReceiveStateAndRefFlow and SendStateAndRefFlow for dealing with StateAndRef's.

  • Vault query soft locking enhancements and deprecations

    • removed original VaultService `softLockedStates query mechanism.
    • introduced improved SoftLockingCondition filterable attribute in VaultQueryCriteria to enable specification of different soft locking retrieval behaviours (exclusive of soft locked states, soft locked states only, specified by set of lock ids)

  • Trader demo now issues cash and commercial paper directly from the bank node, rather than the seller node self-issuing commercial paper but labelling it as if issued by the bank.

  • Merged handling of well known and confidential identities in the identity service. Registration now takes in an identity (either type) plus supporting certificate path, and de-anonymisation simply returns the issuing identity where known. If you specifically need well known identities, use the network map, which is the authoritative source of current well known identities.

  • Currency-related API in net.corda.core.contracts.ContractsDSL has moved to `net.corda.finance.CurrencyUtils.

  • Remove IssuerFlow as it allowed nodes to request arbitrary amounts of cash to be issued from any remote node. Use CashIssueFlow instead.

  • Some utility/extension functions (sumOrThrow, sumOrNull, sumOrZero on Amount and Commodity) have moved to be static methods on the classes themselves. This improves the API for Java users who no longer have to see or known about file-level FooKt style classes generated by the Kotlin compile, but means that IntelliJ no longer auto-suggests these extension functions in completion unless you add import lines for them yourself (this is Kotlin IDE bug KT-15286).

  • :finance module now acting as a CorDapp with regard to flow registration, schemas and serializable types.

  • WebServerPluginRegistry now has a customizeJSONSerialization which can be overridden to extend the REST JSON serializers. In particular the IRS demos must now register the BusinessCalendar serializers.

  • Moved :finance gradle project files into a net.corda.finance package namespace. This may require adjusting imports of Cash flow references and also of StartFlow permission in gradle.build files.

  • Removed the concept of relevancy from LinearState. The ContractState's relevancy to the vault can be determined by the flow context, the vault will process any transaction from a flow which is not derived from transaction resolution verification.

  • Removed the tolerance attribute from TimeWindowChecker and thus, there is no extra tolerance on the notary side anymore.

  • The FungibleAsset interface has been made simpler. The Commands grouping interface that included the Move, Issue and Exit interfaces have all been removed, while the move function has been renamed to withNewOwnerAndAmount to be consistent with the withNewOwner function of the OwnableState.

  • The IssueCommand interface has been removed from Structures, because, due to the introduction of nonces per transaction component, the issue command does not need a nonce anymore and it does not require any other attributes.

  • As a consequence of the above and the simpler FungibleAsset format, fungible assets like Cash now use class Issue : TypeOnlyCommandData(), because it's only its presence (Issue) that matters.

  • A new PrivacySalt transaction component is introduced, which is now an attribute in TraversableTransaction and inherently in WireTransaction.

  • A new nonces: List<SecureHash> feature has been added to FilteredLeaves.

  • Due to the nonces and PrivacySalt introduction, new functions have been added to MerkleTransaction: fun <T : Any> serializedHash(x: T, privacySalt: PrivacySalt?, index: Int): SecureHash fun <T : Any> serializedHash(x: T, nonce: SecureHash): SecureHash fun computeNonce(privacySalt: PrivacySalt, index: Int).

  • A new SignatureMetadata data class is introduced with two attributes, platformVersion: Int and schemeNumberID: Int (the signature scheme used).

  • As part of the metadata support in signatures, a new data class SignableData(val txId: SecureHash, val signatureMetadata: SignatureMetadata) is introduced, which represents the object actually signed.

  • The unused MetaData and SignatureType in crypto package have been removed.

  • The class TransactionSignature(bytes: ByteArray, val by: PublicKey, val signatureMetadata: SignatureMetadata): DigitalSignature(bytes) class is now utilised Vs the old DigitalSignature.WithKey for Corda transaction signatures. Practically, it takes the signatureMetadata as an extra input, in order to support signing both the transaction and the extra metadata.

  • To reflect changes in the signing process, the Crypto object is now equipped with the: fun doSign(keyPair: KeyPair, signableData: SignableData): TransactionSignature and fun doVerify(txId: SecureHash, transactionSignature: TransactionSignature): Boolean functions.

  • SerializationCustomization.addToWhitelist() now accepts multiple classes via varargs.

  • Two functions to easily sign a FilteredTransaction have been added to ServiceHub: createSignature(filteredTransaction: FilteredTransaction, publicKey: PublicKey) and createSignature(filteredTransaction: FilteredTransaction) to sign with the legal identity key.

  • A new helper method buildFilteredTransaction(filtering: Predicate<Any>) is added to SignedTransaction to directly build a FilteredTransaction using provided filtering functions, without first accessing the tx: WireTransaction.

  • Test type NodeHandle now has method stop(): CordaFuture<Unit> that terminates the referenced node.

  • Fixed some issues in IRS demo:
    • Fixed leg and floating leg notional amounts were not displayed for created deals neither in single nor in list view.
    • Parties were not displayed for created deals in single view.
    • Non-default notional amounts caused the creation of new deals to fail.

Warning

Renamed configuration property key basedir to baseDirectory. This will require updating existing configuration files.

  • Removed deprecated parts of the API.
  • Removed PluginServiceHub. Replace with ServiceHub for @CordaService constructors.
  • X509CertificateHolder has been removed from the public API, replaced by java.security.X509Certificate.
  • Moved CityDatabase out of core and into finance
  • All of the serializedHash and computeNonce functions have been removed from MerkleTransaction. The serializedHash(x: T) and computeNonce were moved to CryptoUtils.
  • Two overloaded methods componentHash(opaqueBytes: OpaqueBytes, privacySalt: PrivacySalt, componentGroupIndex: Int, internalIndex: Int): SecureHash and componentHash(nonce: SecureHash, opaqueBytes: OpaqueBytes): SecureHash have been added to CryptoUtils. Similarly to computeNonce, they internally use SHA256d for nonce and leaf hash computations.
  • The verify(node: PartialTree, usedHashes: MutableList<SecureHash>): SecureHash in PartialMerkleTree has been renamed to rootAndUsedHashes and is now public, as it is required in the verify function of FilteredTransaction.
  • TraversableTransaction is now an abstract class extending CoreTransaction. WireTransaction and FilteredTransaction now extend TraversableTransaction.
  • Two classes, ComponentGroup(open val groupIndex: Int, open val components: List<OpaqueBytes>) and FilteredComponentGroup(override val groupIndex: Int, override val components: List<OpaqueBytes>, val nonces: List<SecureHash>, val partialMerkleTree: PartialMerkleTree): ComponentGroup(groupIndex, components) have been added, which are properties of the WireTransaction and FilteredTransaction, respectively.
  • checkAllComponentsVisible(componentGroupEnum: ComponentGroupEnum) is added to FilteredTransaction, a new function to check if all components are visible in a specific component-group.
  • To allow for backwards compatibility, WireTransaction and FilteredTransaction have new fields and constructors: WireTransaction(componentGroups: List<ComponentGroup>, privacySalt: PrivacySalt = PrivacySalt()), FilteredTransaction private constructor(id: SecureHash,filteredComponentGroups: List<FilteredComponentGroup>, groupHashes: List<SecureHash>. FilteredTransaction is still built via buildFilteredTransaction(wtx: WireTransaction, filtering: Predicate<Any>).
  • FilteredLeaves class have been removed and as a result we can directly call the components from FilteredTransaction, such as ftx.inputs Vs the old ftx.filteredLeaves.inputs.
  • A new ComponentGroupEnum is added with the following enum items: INPUTS_GROUP, OUTPUTS_GROUP, COMMANDS_GROUP, ATTACHMENTS_GROUP, NOTARY_GROUP, TIMEWINDOW_GROUP.
  • ContractUpgradeFlow.Initiator has been renamed to ContractUpgradeFlow.Initiate
  • @RPCSinceVersion, RPCException and PermissionException have moved to net.corda.client.rpc.
  • Current implementation of SSL in CordaRPCClient has been removed until we have a better solution which doesn't rely on the node's keystore.
