Testnet Pre-release v2.0.0-rc.2

🐎 New Raiden Light Client SDK, dApp and CLI Pre-Release

INFO: The Light Client SDK, CLI and dApp are all work in progress projects. All three projects have been released for mainnet and all code is available in the Light Client repository. As this release still has its limitations and is a beta release, it is crucial to read this readme including the security notes carefully before using the software.

This is a pre-release (for testing only) of the next version of the light-client. It includes support for the new raiden-contracts v0.40.0rc0, and as so, requires users to ensure their old channels are closed and settled, and as this also includes new UserDeposit (UDC) contracts, users willing to upgrade should also withdraw the service tokens deposited on the old ones to deposit on the new contracts.

Highlights of the release:

• The raiden dapp got a new quick pay feature.
• For the raiden SDK :
  • Support for new contract function TokenNetwork.openChannelWithDeposit so that opening a channel and depositing can happen in one transaction saving gas.
  • Support for UserDeposit.withdrawToBeneficiary function on the UDC so that users can withdraw tokens directly to their main account instead of their subkey account saving vital gas.
  • Ensuring capabilities are updated when they change and delaying non-closing auto settle to prevent wasted gas.
