Block DX 1.3.0
This Block DX release includes various user experience improvements and bug fixes, which can be viewed below.
Note: This release requires Blocknet wallet version 3.13.2
Configuration Notice
Block DX now has a message overlay on the order form and order books of markets that you are not configured to trade on. This feature not only helps the user understand that they can’t currently trade on the market, but provides them with an actionable step to begin configuration.
Paste Enabled Data Directory Field
After feedback from the community, the ability to paste the location of their wallet data directories has been added for a better user experience. This ability simplifies setup for those with many wallets and have the directory locations on-hand.
Error Message Bug Fix
An error was resolved that was preventing the updated, more helpful custom error messages from being presented. With this issue fixed it should make it much easier to troubleshoot when these error messages arise.
Rounding Error Bug Fix
An error was reported and successfully fixed regarding rounding errors in the value presented when calculating the ‘Total’ amount when placing an order as well as a discrepancy between the order book values and the values shown in the Order Details window.
Looking Forward
There are many exciting milestones still ahead including migrating the Blocknet base chain to utilize Bitcoin’s v18 codebase, market and limit order functionality on Block DX, and integration of a lite multiwallet being developed by CloudChains Inc, which is powered by the Blocknet Protocol. View the roadmap.
