cardano-signer 1.13.0

Release Notes / Change-Logs

• 1.13.0

  New key generation mode:

  • generate normal ed25519 keys
  • generate extended ed25519 keys from a derivation path like "1852H/1815H/0H/0/0"
  • generate keys from mnemonics or let cardano-signer generate new mnemonics for you
  • generate CIP36 conform vote keys incl. bech cvote_vk data and an optional vote_purpose
  • generate keys with or without chaincode attached
  • directly write out .skey/.vkey files (like cardano-cli)
  • extended information like an Xpub... key is available via the --json-extended flag
  • shortcuts for paths can be used like --path payment, --path stake, --path cip36

cardano-signer 1.12.1

• Release-Notes for 1.12.1

  CIP-36 update:

  • Changed the --rewards-address parameter to --payment-address parameter. This reflects the latest changes in CIP-36
  • Also the keys for rewardsAddressHex,rewardsAddressType and rewardsAddressNetwork in the --json-extended output are not renamed to paymentAddressHex, paymentAddressType, paymentAddressNetwork

cardano-signer 1.12.0

• Release-Notes for 1.12.0

  General:

  • The output via --json-extended is now showing more details about the address (hex, type, network)
  • The help description can now be displayed for each sub command like: cardano-signer sign --cip8 --help
  • Addresses provided via the --address parameter can now be a bech-address, hex-string or the path to a file containing the bech-address (typical mywallet.addr) files

  CIP-8 / CIP-30 updates:

  • Completely reworked CIP-8/CIP-30 code. Flags --cip8 & --cip30 will currently do the same, because CIP-30 uses CIP-8 signing.
  • Signing a payload now generates a full COSE_Sign1 signature together with the COSE_Key publicKey
  • The payload can be set to hashed via the new flag --hashed
  • The payload can be excluded from the COSE_Sign1 signature with the new flag --nopayload
  • The signing address will be automatically checked against the publicKey (signing and verification)
  • Extended data structure check of the given COSE_Sign1 & COSE_Key
  • Verification can be done against the COSE_Sign1 & COSE_Key, and optionally also against a given payload and address
  • The output via --json-extended shows additional information if the payload is hashed, address infos, etc.

cardano-signer 1.11.0

• Release-Notes for 1.11.0

  General:

  • Added an optional flag --bech (also --jcli works), to output the signature and public key in jcli compatible bech format with prefixes ed25519_sig and ed25519_pk. This is available in the normal signing mode.
  • The verify function now also accepts bech encoded signatures ed25519_sig in addition to hex strings.
  • With this update the sign/verify functions in cardano-signer can substitute jcli for sign/verify.

cardano-signer 1.10.1

• Release-Notes for 1.10.1

  CIP-36 updates:

  • Starting with Fund10, the rewards address for the voting rewards must be a regular payment address (enterprise or base address), not a stake address like before.
  • Updated the README.md with examples using a payment address instead of a stake address

cardano-signer 1.10.0

• Release-Notes for 1.10.0

  • Added an optional address check for the normal sign/verify functions via the --address parameter. If provided, cardano-signer checks that the address belongs to the provided signing/public key.
  • Updated the README.md with more examples and better syntax highlighting.

cardano-signer 1.9.0

• Release-Notes for 1.9.0

  CIP-36 mode updates:

  • Added the new deregistration metadata format in CIP-36 mode, which is using key 61286 for the deregistration data.
  • Changed the output of --json-extended in CIP-36 mode to output the cbor and json content below the "output" key example

  General:

  • Using the general bech32 lib to decode public/private keys, so any bech32 string can be used. Before it was limited to ed25519_pk and ed25519_sk prefixes.
  • Defining command-line argument types to avoid parsing arguments like --data-hex="000000" as a number. Must be parsed as a string of course.
  • Added command-line aliases so you can also use: --signing-key or --secret-key, --verification-key or --public-key, etc.

 

cardano-signer 1.8.0

• 1.8.0

  CIP-36 mode updates:

  • Allow duplicated voting_key entries
  • New check to avoid using a wrong vote-public-key or a wrong stake secret-key. Because the public-key of the signing secret-key must be different than the entries in the delegations array.
  • New check that the total-vote-weight is not zero
  • Added the fields votePurpose and totalVoteWeight to the --json-extended output-mode
  • Syntax Update: Added flag --deregister to generate an empty delegation array, no voting_keys or rewards address is needed using that flag
  • Syntax Update: If no --nonce parameter is provided, cardano-signer automatically calculates the Mainnet slotHeight from the current machine time and uses it as the nonce

  General:

  • Syntax Update: Added parameter --testnet-magic [xxx] to CIP-8 and CIP-36 mode to allow an additional check about the right bech-address format. (Default = mainnet)

cardano-signer 1.7.0

• 1.7.0
  • Added JSON and JSON-Extended output format: Default output format is plaintext, using the --json flag generates a JSON output. Using the --json-extended flag generates a JSON output with much more information.
  • In CIP-36 mode, using the new --json flag together with the --out-file parameter generates directly a JSON Format which is compatible to be used as a registration.json metadata with cardano-cli. --out-cbor always generates a binary registration.cbor metadata file, also compatible to be used with cardano-cli.
  • Usage/Help context is now colored for better readability

cardano-signer 1.6.1

• 1.6.1
  • Added new check in CIP-36 mode to avoid duplicated voting_key entries in the delegations. Exits with an error if duplicates are found.
