G1 v2 is here ! New version of Cesium

A new pre-release version of Cesium is available!

The cesium.app website is currently being updated… The same goes for the Play Store, App Store, etc.
Please be patient! :slight_smile:

In recent months, many of you have encountered multiple difficulties: transactions disappearing or being completely lost, “timeout” error, desynchronized node, etc.

We are well aware of these issues. They are related to several factors:

  • on the one hand, to the new version 1.7 of Cesium, which introduces automatic node selection for Duniter, by random drawing among synchronized nodes;
  • on the other hand, to the state of the Duniter nodes network, some nodes have been found to be misconfigured to work with Cesium, or using unstable versions of Duniter.

New Features

At Start-Up

Node selection at startup has been reviewed to select only those compatible with Cesium’s features. This should fix the previously explained problems.

My Operations

In “My Operations,” long comments are now more visible, whether on a phone:

…or in a web browser:

Other small improvements on this page:

  • Refreshing the list no longer causes flickering of existing operations. Only new operations are animated;
  • loading older operations (at the bottom of the page) is now done directly by scrolling down. No need to click on “Show More” or “Show All”! Beyond 6 months of history, these buttons appear to limit the number of network requests.

Networks (in expert mode)

The network view now allows you to see the status of the waiting queues (or pools) containing pending documents (transactions and membership requests).

Only if you have activated “expert mode” in the settings,
and for nodes that have activated the BMA API

Another small novelty: you can now see if a node (BMA) properly archives the history of transactions. The symbol :credit_card: TX now appears in the API column.

Only visible in expert mode, by expanding the display of rows

Other Fixes

  • Android / iOS: file downloading works! For the revocation file in particular, but also for the list of operations, the saving of identifiers, etc.

    You will find the downloaded file in the “Downloads” directory (on Android) or “Documents” (on iOS);

  • My Operations: the list of UDs is now correctly displayed (without going through the Duniter nodes to bypass a limitation, but through the Cesium+ pod if activated);
  • Notifications: the number of messages or notifications is now correct when you log in for the first time on an account.

New version 1.7.10

A new version is arriving!

However, there are only a few changes:

  • correction of payment links (e.g.: payment QR code generated by #clients:ginkgo or payment link from Ğchange)
  • Improvement of the homepage appearance upon app loading for phones.

All the (technical) details are listed here.

Ğ1 version 2 is live ! And Cesium² (compatible with Duniter G1 v2) brings the most awaited improvements: speed, stability and security.

The 3 big novelties:

  • :high_voltage: Ultra-fast payments
    Transactions now confirm in ~6 seconds on average
    (instead of 5 minutes before)

  • :shield: Improved network stability
    Much more reliable connections,
    better handling of saturated or slow nodes

  • :locked_with_key: Stronger account security

    To enjoy maximum security, a migration of your identity is required (but optional).

    After migration you will get:

    • a connection phrase (long passphrase) generated only once

    • a personal PIN code

    • you will never have to type the long phrase again (except for full restoration)

→ Your account becomes much more pleasant to use daily while remaining very secure.

Next steps

  1. Update Cesium to the latest version 2

  2. Recover your old v1 accounts

  3. Choose a strong PIN and enjoy the smooth experience :victory_hand:

  4. Migrate your identity to have a stronger security (optional)

Big thanks to the developers, nodes, testers and the whole community who made Ğ1 v2 possible :heart:

Welcome to the new era of Ğ1!
