Happy New Year and welcome to the v0.26.3 release of Neuron!

New look and feel

Neuron has a new look and feel that we hope you will like. We're still designing and tweaking many of the UI parts so please stay tuned as there're more to come in future releases.

Bundled CKB node

CKB v0.26.1 was released on Dec 30th, 2019. This version of CKB node is now bundled and preconfigured in Neuron.

Nervos DAO

There're many improvements for Nervos DAO feature, some of the key changes include:

• Allow depositing all balance to Nervos DAO. When the user does so, show hint to remind them to reserve some CKB for withdraw operation.
• Added the Current Compensation Period dialog showing explanation of epochs period.
• Label Nervos DAO transactions in recent activities.

Electron 7

We updated to Electron 7 in this release. Electron 7 added ipcRenderer.invoke() and ipcMain.handle() for asynchronous request/response-style IPC, which are recommended over the remote module. To take advantage of that, we refactored data flow between wallet core and UI layers, replacing remote usage with ipcRenderer.invoke() and ipcMain.handle().

Bug fixes

• Fixed a lot of bugs related to block syncing.
• Fixed minor bugs with Nervos DAO feature.
• Fixed an issue that transaction detail window shows blank content.
• Fixed a bug that allows transaction fee price to be set as non-integer number.

Bundled CKB node

It's painful to download, configure and run a CKB node when setting up the Neuron wallet. We understand that. Version 0.26.0 comes with a bundled CKB node, preconfigured to connect to Nervos CKB Mainnet Lina. Just open Neuron and it will start the bundled node and sync with that.

If you prefer to run your own node you can still do that. Start your node before launching the Neuron wallet, then Neuron will connect to your node instead of the bundled one.

Note that your operating system or firewall might ask you for permission to run the bundle node. Please allow that when prompted.

Improved Nervos DAO UI and flow

We added a feature to allow you to deposit all of your unused balance into the Nervos DAO. Simply drag the deposit amount slider to the right and Neuron will calculate the amount and fee for you.

With the updated formula of DAO compensation rate, the Nervos DAO view now displays more precise information.

UI for checking updates

We've introduced UI for checking and downloading updates. You can find this on Settings(Preferences) - General view. It's now more convenient to see when there's a new version available to install.

Bug fixes

We fixed several bugs related to block syncing and balance calculations. Now, balance of Overall and locked/free Nervos DAO should display correctly.

We also addressed several other bugs to make the Neuron wallet more stable.
