The HTTP status is not always 200, but reflects the error that was encountered. The value of the returned status field is no longer success/error but is the HTTP response code, which is 200 when the call was successful.

6.1.6

• Change: In the plugin’s general settings, the maximum deposit address limit is now applied per user and per currency. Was previously applied per user only over all currencies.
• Fix: When listing transactions in the admin screens, if the associated currency has block explorer URIs, these are now used to link addresses and TXIDs to a block explorer.

• Improve: The [wallets_withdraw] UI now uses a getUserMedia() call to determine if a camera is available to scan QR-Codes. Previous method using CSS media queries was not optimal.

• Fix: Listing the addresses of a specific user now works again.

6.0.0

• Change: Sourcecode rewritten from scratch and modernized for PHP7.x compatibility: Namespaces, callbacks, etc.
• Change: Coin adapters removed and replaced with wallet adapters. Wallet adapters are a more versatile abstraction of external wallets.
• Change: All amounts stored on the DB are now stored as integers. This avoids FP/rounding errors, but requires the admin to specify the number of decimals on a Currency explicitly.
• Add: Wallets now have their own CPT and editor screen. Connection information for wallet APIs is now decoupled from currency details.
• Add: Currencies now have their own CPT and editor screen. Currency details are now decoupled from wallet connection information details.
• Change: Currencies are no longer identified by their ticker symbol, since these can clash. Currencies are now uniquely identified by their post ID.
• Change: Transactions now have their own CPT and editor screen. Transactions are no longer stored in custom SQL tables, but are stored as posts.
• Add: If a transaction is saved without a comment, a basic comment is entered as a title.
• Change: Addresses now have their own CPT and editor screen. Addresses are no longer stored in custom SQL tables, but are stored as posts.
• Add: When creating a new address, if admin sets the address string empty, a new address string is created from the wallet.
• Add: Currencies, Transactions and Addresses can be organized via tags. These are implemented as WordPress custom taxonomies.
• Add: When listing Wallets, these can be filtered by Wallet Adapter type.
• Add: When listing Currencies, these can be filtered by associated Wallet or Currency tag.
• Add: When listing Transactions, these can be filtered by Currency, User, Type (deposit/withdaw/move), Status (pending, done, cancelled, failed), or Transaction tag.
• Add: When listing Addresses, these can be filtered by Currency, User, Type (deposit/withdaw/move), Status (pending, done, cancelled, failed), or Transaction tag.
• Add: When editing Wallets, Currencies, Transactions, or Addresses, there are now metaboxes that let an admin easily jump between associated CPTs. For example, can click a link to go from a Currency to the Transactions of that Currency.
• Add: A new “Migration” tool helps users transfer balances from the old custom SQL tables to the new format. Please study the documentation for details.
• Add: A new Object-Oriented way to create and manipulate Wallets, Currencies, Addresses and Transactions. Lots of example code snippets included in the docs and PHPdocumentor files.
• Add: A documented library of helper functions can be used by PHP developers to interface with the plugin. This lives in the DSWallets namespace.
• Change: The old PHP-API is renamed as “Legacy PHP-API”, but not removed. Only the wallets_api_adapters filter is removed, since there are no more Coin Adapters.
• Add: A new cron job scheduler that runs jobs based on priorities. Can be triggerred externally to improve site performance.
• Add: New email queue system based on cron, handles large volumes of outgoing emails by sending them in batches.
• Add: New cron job that iterates over defined currencies and pulls icons/logos from CoinGecko when possible. Adds images to the WordPress media collection, and sets the logo as Currency featured image. Admin can override the featured image.
• Change: All the plugin’s settings are now placed under the Settings menu, and organized in tabs. Extensions, when installed, add tabs to the settings screen.
• Change: Capability settings are now in a settings tab. The existing capabilities are retained. It is also possible to edit the capabilities related to the new CPTs (Wallets, Currencies, Addresses, Transactions).
• Add: Fiat currencies are now created automatically by a cron job when you enter a fixer.io API key. Fiat currencies can be associated to the built-in wallet adapter that handles manual Bank transfers. The Fiat Coin Adapter extension is removed.
• Change: It is now possible to define any number of Bitcoin-like wallets and currencies without any plugin extensions. The Full Node MultiCoin Adapter extension is removed.
• Change: The UIs are now self-contained. All the HTML markup, knockout.js attributes, JavaScript code, and CSS rules are encapsulated within the template files, and are overridable.
• Change: The UIs are now rendered independently. This improves frontend performance. If one UI crashes, the remaining UIs continue to work.
• Remove: There are no more static templates. All templates are dynamic. This reduces confusion about how templates work.
• Add: Currencies can be used by users even if not associated with a Wallet, or if the wallet API is unreachable. If wallet API is unreachable, only deposits and withdrawals will not be available, but on-site transactions are still possible.
• Add: New shortcode [wallets_status] informes users if a wallet is online.
• Change: The exchange rates mechanism now relies on CoinGecko. If the admin provides the CoinGecko ID for a Currency, the exchange rates are retrieved automatically via cron.
• Improve: In the Currency editor, if a currency is not associated with a CoinGecko ID, it is still possible for an admin to setup a fixed exchange rate for a currency.
• Improve: The admin can choose against which well-known currencies the exchange rates are stored (these are the “VS currencies” and correspond to CoinGecko data).
• Improve: The frontend UIs, when they display equivalent amounts in other currencies, no longer display amounts in one fixed site currency. User can click to rotate between displaying the equivalent amounts in all available “VS currencies”.
• Add: Daily withdrawal limits per Currency. Can be set for all users, or per user role.
• Add: More information in the plugin’s widget in the dashboard screen.
• Add: A new WP-REST API which utilizes the RESTful API mechanism built into WordPress replaces the old JSON-API.
• Change: The old JSON-API is now marked as deprecated and is disabled by default. Can be enabled in settings for backwards compatibility.
• Add: A new system that displays documentation in the admin screens. Some screens feature direct links to the relevant documentation. As extensions to the plugin are installed, their documentation books are added to the system.
• Change: The user profile screen has been improved. Lists all balances held by a user and links to the user’s lists of Addresses and Transactions.
• Change: The cold storage UI screens have been improved.
• Remove: The frontend Widgets have been removed. Please use the shortcodes instead.
