Release notes

Here are brief summaries of what's changed between each snapshot release.

Unreleased

Here are changes in git master that haven't yet made it to a snapshot release:

  • The cash contract has moved from com.r3corda.contracts to com.r3corda.contracts.cash.
  • Amount class is now generic, to support non-currency types (such as assets, or currency with additional information).
  • Refactored the Cash contract to have a new FungibleAsset superclass, to model all countable assets that can be merged and split (currency, barrels of oil, etc.)
