Kosmaris 0.29.0 — The summer release

Release 0.29.0 is the summer release, and the largest of the season. Most of it went into making Kosmaris safer and more reliable rather than into new screens — a little over two weeks of work with security as the headline.

Security

  • A large batch of security work — This release landed a broad round of hardening across the systems that run Kosmaris and across the KMS deposit path. We don't itemise security changes; describing them in detail mostly helps the wrong people.

KMS deposits

  • The minimum deposit is shown upfront — The deposit screen now reads the current minimum and shows it before your wallet opens, so a too-small deposit is caught early instead of failing after you have already paid the network fee.
  • Deposits credit reliably — Deposit detection was rebuilt. Deposits are picked up promptly and catch up straight away after any interruption.

Research

  • Refused research explains itself — When a research order is rejected, the message now says exactly why, including what each resource requires against what you currently have.

Quality and stability

  • Blockchain improvements — Ongoing work on the KMS token infrastructure.
