- Notes
Tag name: v1.2.0
- New and improved installation setup docs and code. Pull requests #1775 and #1785
- New BigchainDB configuration setting to set the port number of the log server:
log.port
. Pull request #1796 - New secondary index on
id
in the bigchain table. That will make some queries execute faster. Pull request #1803 - When using MongoDB, there are some restrictions on allowed names for keys (JSON keys). Those restrictions were always there but now BigchainDB checks key names explicitly, rather than leaving that to MongoDB. Pull requests #1807 and #1811
- When using MongoDB, there are some restrictions on the allowed values of "language" (if that key is used in the values of
metadata
orasset.data
). Those restrictions were always there but now BigchainDB checks the values explicitly, rather than leaving that to MongoDB. Pull requests #1806 and #1811 - There's a new page in the root docs about permissions in BigchainDB. Pull request #1788
- There's a new option in the
bigchaindb start
command:bigchaindb start --no-init
will avoid doingbigchaindb init
if it wasn't done already. Pull request #1814
- Fixed a bug where setting the log level in a BigchainDB config file didn't have any effect. It does now. Pull request #1797
- The docs were wrong about there being no Ping/Pong support in the Events API. There is, so the docs were fixed. Pull request #1799
- Fixed an issue with closing WebSocket connections properly. Pull request #1819
- Many changes were made to the Kubernetes-based production deployment template and code.
Tag name: v1.1.0
- Support for server-side plugins that can add support for alternate event consumers (other than the WebSocket API). Pull request #1707
- New configuration settings to set the advertised wsserver scheme, host and port. (The advertised ones are the ones that external users use to connect to the WebSocket API.) Pull request #1703
- Support for secure (TLS) WebSocket connections. Pull request #1619
- A new page of documentation about the contents of a condition (inside a transaction). Pull request #1668
- We updated our definition of the public API (at the top of this document). Pull request #1700
- The HTTP API Logger now logs the request path and method as well. Pull request #1644
- @carchrae - Pull request #1731
- @ivanbakel - Pull request #1706
- @ketanbhatt - Pull requests #1643 and #1644
- New drivers & tools from our community:
- Java driver, by Authenteq
- Ruby library, by @nileshtrivedi
- Many improvements to our production deployment template (which uses Kubernetes).
- The production deployment template for the multi-node case was out of date. We updated that and verified it. Pull request #1713
Tag name: v1.0.1
- Various issues in the Quickstart page. Pull requests #1641 and #1648.
- Changefeed hanging when MongoDB primary node is turned off. Pull request #1638.
- Missing
assets
tables for RethinkDB backend. Pull request #1646. - Cryptoconditions version mismatch. Pull request #1659.
Tag name: v1.0.0
This just reports the changes since the release of 1.0.0rc1. If you want the full picture of all changes since 0.10, then read the 1.0.0rc1 change log below as well as the upgrade guide.
- The file name of the upgrade guide changed from
docs/upgrade-guides/v0.10-->v1.0.md
todocs/upgrade-guides/v0.10-v1.0.md
. - In
transaction.inputs[n].fulfills
,output
was renamed tooutput_index
. Pull Request #1596 - In
transaction.outputs[n].condition.details
, 1)signature
was removed (from signature conditions) and 2)subfulfillments
was renamed tosubconditions
(in threshold conditions). Pull Request #1589 - Refined transaction schema validation to check that the
transaction.outputs[n].condition.uri
corresponds to a condition that BigchainDB Server 1.0.0 actually supports. Pull Request #1597 - Before, GET requests (to the HTTP API) with header
Content-Type: 'application/json'
would get a response with the message, "The browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand." Now, if a GET request includes aContent-Type
header, that header gets deleted (i.e. ignored). Pull Request #1630
- If an end user sends a transaction with
operation
equal toGENESIS
, it will be rejected as invalid. Pull Request #1612
Tag name: v1.0.0rc1
- Support for secure TLS/SSL communication between MongoDB and {BigchainDB, MongoDB Backup Agent, MongoDB Monitoring Agent}. Pull Requests #1456, #1497, #1510, #1536, #1551 and #1552.
- Text search support (only if using MongoDB). Pull Requests #1469 and #1471
- The
database.connection_timeout
configuration setting now works with RethinkDB too. #1512 - New code and tools for benchmarking CREATE transactions. Pull Request #1511
- There's an upgrade guide in
docs/upgrade-guides/v0.10-->v1.0.md
. It only covers changes to the transaction model and HTTP API. If that file hasn't been merged yet, see Pull Request #1547 - Cryptographic signatures now sign the whole (serialized) transaction body, including the transaction ID, but with all
"fulfillment"
values changed toNone
. Pull Request #1225 - In transactions, the value of
"amount"
must be a string. (Before, it was supposed to be a number.) Pull Request #1286 - In
setup.py
, the "Development Status" (as reported on PyPI) was changed from Alpha to Beta. Pull Request #1437 - If you explicitly specify a config file, e.g.
bigchaindb -c path/to/config start
and that file can't be found, then BigchainDB Server will fail with a helpful error message. Pull Request #1486 - Reduced the response time on the HTTP API endpoint to get all the unspent outputs associated with a given public key (a.k.a. "fast unspents"). Pull Request #1411
- Internally, the value of an asset's
"data"
is now stored in a separate assets table. This enabled the new text search. Each asset data is stored along with the associated CREATE transaction ID (asset ID). That data gets written when the containing block gets written to the bigchain table. Pull Request #1460 - Schema validation was sped up by switching to
rapidjson-schema
. Pull Request #1494 - If a node comes back from being down for a while, it will resume voting on blocks in the order determined by the MongoDB oplog, in the case of MongoDB. (In the case of RethinkDB, blocks missed in the changefeed will not be voted on.) Pull Request #1389
- Parallelized transaction schema validation in the vote pipeline. Pull Request #1492
asset.data
orasset.id
are now required in a CREATE or TRANSFER transaction, respectively. Pull Request #1518- The HTTP response body, in the response to the
GET /
and theGET /api/v1
endpoints, was changed substantially. Pull Request #1529 - Changed the HTTP
GET /api/v1/transactions/{transaction_id}
endpoint. It now only returns the transaction if it's in a valid block. It also returns a new header with a relative link to a status monitor. Pull Request #1543 - All instances of
txid
andtx_id
were replaced withtransaction_id
, in the transaction model and the HTTP API. Pull Request #1532 - The hostname and port were removed from all URLs in all HTTP API responses. Pull Request #1538
- Relative links were replaced with JSON objects in HTTP API responses. Pull Request #1541
- In the outputs endpoint of the HTTP API, the query parameter
unspent
was changed tospent
(so no more double negatives). If that query parameter isn't included, then all outputs matching the specificed public key will be returned. Ifspent=true
, then only the spent outputs will be returned. Ifspent=false
, then only the unspent outputs will be returned. Pull Request #1545 - The supported crypto-conditions changed from version 01 of the crypto-conditions spec to version 02. Pull Request #1562
- The value of "version" inside a transaction must now be "1.0". (Before, it could be "0.anything".) Pull Request #1574
- The
server.threads
configuration setting (for the Gunicorn HTTP server) was removed from the default set of BigchainDB configuration settings. Pull Request #1488
- The
GET /api/v1/outputs
endpoint was failing for some transactions with threshold conditions. Fixed in Pull Request #1450

- @CsterKuroi - Pull Request #1447
- @tdsgit - Pull Request #1512
- @lavinasachdev3 - Pull Request #1357

- Initial support for using SSL with MongoDB (work in progress). Pull Requests #1299 and #1348
- The main BigchainDB Dockerfile (and its generated Docker image) now contains only BigchainDB Server. (It used to contain both BigchainDB Server and RethinkDB.) You must now run MongoDB or RethinkDB in a separate Docker container. Pull Request #1174
- Made separate schemas for CREATE and TRANSFER transactions. Pull Request #1257

VERSION
string was calculated from the BigchainDB Server__short_version__
string. Pull Request #1160
Tag name: v0.9.0
It has been more than two months since the v0.8.0 release, so there have been many changes. We decided to describe them in broad strokes, with links to more details elsewhere.
- Support for MongoDB as a backend database.
- Some configuration settings and
bigchaindb
command-line commands were added. In particular, one can specify the database backend (rethinkdb
ormongodb
). For MongoDB, one can specify the name of the replicaset. Also for MongoDB, there are new command-line commands to add and remove hosts from the replicaset. See the Settings & CLI docs. - Transaction schema validation. The transaction schema is also used to auto-generate some docs. Pull Request #880
- Vote schema validation. The vote schema is also used to auto-generate some docs. Pull Request #865
- New
ENABLE_WEB_ADMIN
setting in the AWS deployment configuration file. Pull Request #1015
- The transaction model has changed substantially. @libscott wrote a blog post about the changes and it will be published soon on the BigchainDB Blog. Also, see the docs about the transaction model.
- The HTTP API has changed substantially. @diminator wrote a blog post about the changes and it will be published soon on the BigchainDB Blog. Also, see the docs about the vote model.
- All RethinkDB-specific database calls were replaced with abstract calls to a backend database.
- Some improvements to the Dockerfile, e.g. Pull Requests #1011 and #1121
- Many improvements to the tests
- We standardized on supporting Ubuntu 16.04 for now (but BigchainDB Server also works on similar Linux distros).
api_endpoint
was removed from the BigchainDB configuration settings. (It was never used anyway.) Pull Request #821- Removed all remaining StatsD monitoring code, configuration settings, docs, etc. (We'll add another monitoring solution in the future.) Pull Request #1138
- Fixed a memory (RAM) overflow problem when under heavy load by bounding the size of the queue at the entrance to the block pipeline. Pull Request #908

- @amirelemam - Pull Request #762 (closed but used as the basis for Pull Request #1074)
- @utarl - Pull Request #1019
- There were many additions and changes to the documentation. Fun fact: The JSON in the HTTP API docs is now auto-generated to be consistent with the current code.
- There's a draft spec for a BigchainDB Event Stream API and we welcome your feedback. See Pull Request #1086
Tag name: v0.8.2
- Fix spend input twice in same transaction (bigchaindb#1099).
Tag name: v0.8.1
- Upgrade pysha3 to 1.0.0 (supports official NIST standard).
- Workaround for rapidjson problem with package metadata extraction (python-rapidjson/python-rapidjson#52).
Tag name: v0.8.0
- The big new thing in version 0.8.0 is support for divisible assets, i.e. assets like carrots or thumbtacks, where the initial CREATE transaction can register/create some amount (e.g. 542 carrots), the first TRANSFER transaction can split that amount across multiple owners, and so on. Pull Request #794
- Wrote a formal schema for the JSON structure of transactions. Pull Request #798
- New configuration parameter:
backlog_reassign_delay
. Pull Request #883
- CREATE transactions must now be signed by all
owners_before
(rather than by a federation node). Pull Request #794 - The user-provided timestamp was removed from the transaction data model (schema). Pull Request #817
get_transaction()
will now return a transaction from the backlog, even if there are copies of the transaction in invalid blocks. Pull Request #793- Several pull requests to introduce a generalized database interface, to move RethinkDB calls into a separate implementation of that interface, and to work on a new MongoDB implementation of that interface. Pull Requests #754, #783, #799, #806, #809, #853
- Renamed "verifying key" to "public key". Renamed "signing key" to "private key". Renamed "vk" to "pk". Pull Request #807
get_transaction_by_asset_id
now ignores invalid transactions. Pull Request #810get_transaction_by_metadata_id
now ignores invalid transactions. Pull Request #811- Updates to the configs and scripts for deploying a test network on AWS. The example config file deploys virtual machines running Ubuntu 16.04 now. Pull Requests #771, #813

- @najlachamseddine - Pull Request #528
- @ChristianGaertner - Pull Request #659
- @MinchinWeb - Pull Request #695
- @ckeyer - Pull Request #785
- @ChristianGaertner added a Python style checker (Flake8) to Travis CI, so external contributors should be aware that the Python code in their pull requests will be checked. See our Python Style Guide.
- Several additions and changes to the documentation, e.g. Pull Requests #690, #764, #766, #769, #777, #800, #801, #802, #803, #819, #827, #859, #872, #882, #883

- Stale transactions in the
backlog
table now get reassigned to another node (for inclusion in a new block): Pull Request #359 - Many improvements to make the database connection more robust: Pull Request #623
- The new
--dev-allow-temp-keypair
option onbigchaindb start
will generate a temporary keypair if no keypair is found. TheDockerfile
was updated to use this. Pull Request #635 - The AWS deployment scripts now allow you to:
- specify the AWS security group as a configuration parameter: Pull Request #620
- tell RethinkDB to bind HTTP to localhost (a more secure setup; now the default in the example config file): Pull Request #666
- Integrated the new
Transaction
model. This was a big change; 49 files changed. Pull Request #641 - Merged "common" code (used by BigchainDB Server and the Python driver), which used to be in its own repository (
bigchaindb/bigchaindb-common
), into the mainbigchaindb/bigchaindb
repository (this one): Pull Request #742 - Integrated the new digital asset model. This changed the data structure of a transaction and will make it easier to support divisible assets in the future. Pull Request #680
- Transactions are now deleted from the
backlog
table after a block containing them is written to thebigchain
table: Pull Request #609 - Changed the example AWS deployment configuration file: Pull Request #665
- Support for version 0.5.0 of the
cryptoconditions
Python package. Note that this means you must now installffi.h
(e.g.sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
on Ubuntu). See Pull Requests #685 and #698 - Updated some database access code: Pull Requests #676 and #701
- Internally, when a transaction is in the
backlog
table, it carries some extra book-keeping fields:- an
assignment_timestamp
(i.e. the time when it was assigned to a node), which is used to determine if it has gone stale. - an
assignee
: the public key of the node it was assigned to.
- an
- The
assignment_timestamp
wasn't removed before writing the transaction to a block. That was fixed in Pull Request #627 - The
assignment_timestamp
andassignee
weren't removed in the response to an HTTP API request sent to the/api/v1/transactions/<txid>
endpoint. That was fixed in Pull Request #646 - When validating a TRANSFER transaction, if any fulfillment refers to a transaction that's not in a valid block, then the transaction isn't valid. This wasn't checked before but it is now. Pull Request #629
- @MinchinWeb - Pull Request #696
- We made a small change to how we do version labeling. Going forward, we will have the version label set to 0.X.Y.dev in the master branch as we work on what will eventually be released as version 0.X.Y. The version number will only be changed to 0.X.Y just before the release. This version labeling scheme began with Pull Request #752
- Several additions and changes to the documentation, e.g. Pull Requests #618, #621, #625, #645, #647, #648, #650, #651, #653, #655, #656, #657, #667, #668, #669, #673, #678, #684, #688, #699, #705, #737, #748, #753, #757, #759, and more

everywhere: Pull Request #497 - Ported election logic and voting logic to the new pipeline architecture: Pull Requests #510 and #515
- Moved the transaction (model)
version
inside thetransaction
(in the transaction data model): Pull Request #518 - Changed how the BigchainDB config file (JSON) gets written so it's easier for humans to read: Pull Request #522
- Improved and expanded the GET/POST endpoints for transactions (in the HTTP API): Pull Request #563
- Changed the AWS cluster deployment scripts so that the deployer now generates their keypair locally, rather than having Amazon do it: Pull Request #567
- When a transaction is retrieved by
get_transaction
, avalidity
field is added with a value one ofvalid
,undecided
, orbacklog
: Pull Request #574 - Renamed
current_owners
andnew_owners
(in the data models) toowners_before
andowners_after
, respectively (i.e. before/after the transaction): Pull Request #578 - Use
flask_restful
and class-based views for realizing the HTTP API: Pull Request #588
- Fixed the confusing error message when there was a syntax error in the BigchainDB config file: Pull Request #531

This release completely refactored the structure of the transactions and broke compatibility with older versions of BigchainDB. The refactor of the transactions was made in order to add support for multiple inputs/outputs and the crypto-conditions specs from the Interledger protocol.
We also updated the RethinkDB Python drivers so you need to upgrade to RethinkDB v2.3+
