Beam 5.2 Mobile release notes TL;DR Release Highlights: Max Privacy transactions bring a dramatic privacy boost thanks to the brand new implementation of the power-savvy mobile node Features: Enabled Max Privacy transactions by implementing Lelantus MW protocol (link: https://github.com/BeamMW/beam/wiki/Lelantus-MW) with anonymity set of up to 64K Public offline addresses for collecting donations while your wallet is completely offline Payment proofs for Offline and Max Privacy transactions The wallet speaks 14 languages thanks to the amazing community support. Caught a translation mission `or a typo? Drop us a message and we’ll invite you to the translators’ Telegram group. Improvements: Export transactions history export to CSV file now include the info about BTC/USD exchange rate and the transaction type (regular, max privacy or offline) Fixes: Many under-the-hood bug fixes you don’t want to know about, as Beam “just works” Known limitations: When restoring your funds in automatic mode, verify that your most recent transaction (from any device) was completed at least 1 hour ago. Otherwise, your restored balance may be incorrect and an additional restore procedure will be required. When restoring your funds with your specific node, verify that the node is fully synchronized with the blockchain before starting the restore procedure. Otherwise, your restored balance may be incorrect and an additional restore procedure will be required. Points to mention: Thanks to the mobile node, when running two wallets that were initiated from the same seed phrase the balance will be always in sync. HOWEVER, the transaction history will not be synchronized among them (each wallet will see the correct balance but only its own transaction history). Therefore, when the balance is changed without any send or receive from the wallet - check the activity in any other wallet. No funds will be lost in any case.

Offline transactions add the option to use offline addresses: no need to wait for the receiver to come online anymore! Features: Enabled Offline transactions through the Lelantus MW protocol implemented at the last hard fork. For Offline transactions new “offline” addresses are supported: it includes all the necessary information for 10 payments so that a receiver doesn’t need to talk to the sender to create a transaction. Once the ten payments run out, the sender wallet will automatically request more payments from the receiver using SBBS. In case the Receiver is not online and not responding, the Sender wallet will show an indication that there are no more payments left and the user will request a new address using an external channel. Improvements: The loading screen will be shown in fewer cases, so you’ll see your Beams faster Fixes: Many under-the-hood bug fixes you don’t want to know about, as Beam “just works” Known limitations: When restoring your funds in automatic mode, verify that your most recent transaction (from any device) was completed at least 1 hour ago. Otherwise, your restored balance may be incorrect and additional restore procedure will be required. When restoring your funds with your specific node, verify that the node is fully synchronized with the blockchain before starting the restore procedure. Otherwise, your restored balance may be incorrect and additional restore procedure will be required. Points to mention: DO NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY RUN TWO WALLETS INITIATED FROM THE SAME SEED PHRASE. No funds will be lost in any case, please read this article for full details. If you really want to run two wallets (read: geek mode), initiated from the same seed phrase, make sure each wallet is connected to the node configured with the owner key (which is derived from the seed phrase). Even if two wallets are connected with such a node which is properly configured with the owner key, the transaction history will not be synchronized among them (each wallet will see the correct balance but only its own transaction history).

This 5.0 (Eager Electron) release paves the way for Beam towards a confidential finance ecosystem. It enables multiple features that will be introduced later, such as confidential assets, breaking linkability, and many others. IMPORTANT: After Beam blockchain will reach block 777777 the upgrade to 5.0 is mandatory to access your funds. Features: In one word: "notifications", in two: "decentralized notifications"!

You’ll never miss the info when a transaction is completed. Too many notifications? Switch off those that you don’t need in Settings. Easily. Improvements: In the advanced restore flow (read: geek mode), some wordings just became better. Getting BEAM from Beam faucet always present on the Settings screen.

This release focuses on usability and aesthetics. We've implemented many of the features, justifiably requested by our customers in the April 2019 community survey. Just look through the features and improvements list and tell us what else do you need to transform our wallets into a full-fledged financial workstation :) Features: • Send/Receive screens were redesigned, so that simple actions will require even less clicks yet to allow advanced settings for a greater flexibility • When sending Beam, allow to search for address to send from (or create a new one) • When receiving Beam, allow to search for the address to receive to (or create a new one) • A category can be assigned to any address for better readability and bookkeeping. • 3D touch and swipe for quick access to various functions from within the app and as well from the launcher • Repeated transactions will save your time when sending Beam: choose it, re-edit amount and comment and send! • Securely Show Owner key: when connecting to your own node (and your own node only), deploying the wallet owner key will allow the node to monitor all UTXO sent to any wallet generated from the same seed phrase. Don't share your owner key with others as it allows to see all your funds! • Graceful undo of transaction and addresses: when unintentionally deleting an address or sending funds you'll have a chance to undo it from a snack bar with a nice countdown • "Where to buy BEAM?" button is introduced (this handy feature should be used with awareness as switching out from the wallet to the web server is a privacy risk, therefore, every customer will need to explicitly approve the feature before actual use) Improvements: • "Send all" is supported when sending Beam to avoid coindust • When deleting an address all the related transactions can be optionally deleted • Seed phrase words will be autocompleted at most after 4 characters • Addresses can be shared using the system dialog • Link to Kernel ID of every transaction in blockchain explorer (this feature also should be used with awareness as switching out from the wallet to the web server is a privacy risk, therefore, every customer will need to explicitly approve the feature before actual use) Fixes: • Long amounts are displayed correctly
