1.2.0-rc.1
Pre-release
New Features!
HL Ursa Integration:
We introduce full HL Ursa integration – now you can connect new cryptography algorithms supported by Ursa project.
Learn more
Multihash integration
Now Iroha can use the Multihash library to encode public-key and signature data to support either cryptography backend (native Iroha algorithm and HL Ursa)
Learn more
HL Burrow integration #421
Iroha now supports Solidity smart-contracts via EVM by HL Burrow
Learn more
On request proposal strategy #95
This change will make the work of Ordering Service more consistent and make sure that all the nodes receive correct information in all cases.
Executor ITF:
We also have been working on a special integrated test facility for the executor and populating it with tests.

TLS support to Torii #107
Preparations for P2P TLS:
We want Iroha to be the most secure and reliable platform for your assets and data, as well as your privacy. That is why we kept working on TLS for this release and will continue doing just that – all for the sake of security of your solutions. It is not ready, yet, but we are getting closer!
Learn more
Root permission #218
This is a permission that will give the administrator all of the permissions available to maintain the system and, if needed, intervene and resolve any issues. Also useful for additional functionality, if you decide to implement it. Use it carefully!
Add settings to customize ledger #133
New genesis block settings to make Iroha fit the needs of your exact project perfectly.
Restarting: option to keep WSV data #335, #407
Now, it will be possible to restart nodes quicker after failure – without the need to reload all the blocks but just based on the World State View.
Major Component Improvements:
Ametsuchi:
Ametsuchi is Iroha storage component, which stores blocks and a state generated from blocks, called World State View. Not only we recently added an option of restoring a state of network from WSV, but also worked on Ametsuchi itself for more efficient work.
Learn more
- Transactions query detects missing transactions #298
- Reuseable PostgresIndexer #297
- Removed ambiguous call to apply #248
- Pass dependencies for query executor creation #203
- Fixed asset quantity overflow detection #154
- PostgreSQL command executor uses prepared statements only #165
- Moved TransactionExecutor init to StorageImpl #190
- Add SpecificQueryExecutor interface #189
- Query executor creator returns result #330
PostgeSQL:
PostgeSQL is a database that Iroha uses to write down the World State View and, optionally, as a blockstore – saving the most precious thing about blockchain – its blocks. That is why we believe that improving this component is extremely important and that is why a lot of work was done to secure its stable and reliable work.

- PgConnectionInit::checkIfWorkingDatabaseIfExists #175
- Moved drop database DDL to PgConnectionInit #174
- PostgresCommandExecutor: fixed unconditional signatory addition #220
- PostgresCommandExecutor: removed creator id and do validation #215
- PostgresSpecificQueryExecutor: removed creator id and query hash fields #214
- PostgresBlockStorage: fixed missing blocks handling & refactor #232
- Use Postgres instead of flat files for storing blocks #132
- PostgresIndexer: bulk insert #320
Shared Model:
Shared model is how Iroha entities are represented in C++ code – the heart of the framework. That is why even small changes can boost system's efficiency so much.
Learn more
- Replace boost optional with std #382
- Updated blob on addSignature #325
- Simplified proto query backend #270
- Amount construction #157
- Moved AccountDetailRecordId from shared_model::interface::types to shared_model::plain #199
- Reworked copying policy #206
- Use hex for public key and signature in interface #409
MST:
Multisignature transactions are important in many use-cases, that is why we continuously improve their processing.
Changes in MST
