# Roadmap for neo-go
|
|
|
|
This defines approximate plan of neo-go releases and key features planned for
|
|
them. Things can change if there is a need to push a bugfix or some critical
|
|
functionality.
|
|
|
|
## Versions 0.7X.Y (as needed)
|
|
* Neo 2.0 support (bug fixes, minor functionality additions)
|
|
|
|
## Version 0.100.0 (aligned with C# node 3.5.0 release, ~December 2022)
|
|
* 3.5.0 protocol changes
|
|
* drop some deprecated code (see below)
|
|
* RPC wrappers generator with extended type information
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.0 (2023, TBD)
|
|
* stable version
|
|
|
|
# Deprecated functionality
|
|
|
|
As the node and the protocol evolve some external APIs can change. Usually we
|
|
try keeping backwards compatibility for some time (like half a year) unless
|
|
it's impossible to do for some reason. But eventually old
|
|
APIs/commands/configurations will be removed and here is a list of scheduled
|
|
breaking changes. Consider changing your code/scripts/configurations if you're
|
|
using anything mentioned here.
|
|
|
|
## getversion RPC reply Magic and StateRootInHeader fields
|
|
|
|
"getversion" RPC reply format was extended to contain "protocol" section in
|
|
version 0.97.3. Since then we have deprecated Magic and StateRootInHeader
|
|
fields in the Version structure that allows to decode replies from pre-0.97.3
|
|
servers while RPC server implementation populates both old and new fields for
|
|
compatibility with pre-0.97.3 clients.
|
|
|
|
Version 0.97.3 was released in October 2021 and can't really be used today on
|
|
public networks, we expect at least 0.99.0+ to be used in production (0.99.2+
|
|
for C# 3.4.0 compatibility). Therefore these old fields are scheduled to be
|
|
removed in version 0.100.0 both client-side and server-side. If any of your
|
|
code uses them, just use the Protocol section with the same data.
|
|
|
|
## InitialGasDistribution field of getversion RPC reply
|
|
|
|
An incompatibility with C# node's InitialGasDistribution representation was
|
|
detected and fixed in version 0.99.0 of NeoGo (June 2022). Some compatibility
|
|
code was added to handle pre-0.99.0 servers on the client side, however it was
|
|
not possible to change pre-0.99.0 clients to work with newer servers.
|
|
|
|
We expect all servers to be migrated to 0.99.0+ by now, therefore
|
|
compatibility code will be removed in version 0.100.0.
|
|
|
|
## Old RPC client APIs
|
|
|
|
A huge set of RPC client APIs was deprecated in versions 0.99.2 and 0.99.3
|
|
(August-September 2022), including very frequently used ones like
|
|
SignAndPushInvocationTx, AddNetworkFee, TransferNEP17. A new set of
|
|
invoker/actor/unwrap/nep17/etc packages was introduced decoupling these
|
|
functions from RPC client and simplifying typical backend code. Please refer
|
|
to rpcclient package documentation for specific replacements for each of these
|
|
APIs and convert your code to using them.
|
|
|
|
While a lot of the code is already converted to new APIs, old ones still can
|
|
be used in some code not known to us. Therefore we will remove old APIs not
|
|
earlier than February-March 2023, with 0.101.0 or 0.102.0 release.
|
|
|
|
## util.FromAddress smart contract helper
|
|
|
|
`util` smart contract library has a FromAddress function that is one of the
|
|
oldest lines in the entire NeoGo code base, dating back to 2018. Version
|
|
0.99.4 of NeoGo (October 2022) has introduced a new `address` package with
|
|
`ToHash160` function, it covers a bit more use cases but can be used as a
|
|
direct replacement of the old function, so please update your code.
|
|
|
|
util.FromAddress is expected to be removed around March 2023 (~0.102.0
|
|
release).
|
|
|
|
## WSClient Notifications channel and SubscribeFor* APIs
|
|
|
|
Version 0.99.5 of NeoGo introduces a new set of subscription APIs that gives
|
|
more control to the WSClient user that can pass specific channels to be used
|
|
for specific subscriptions now. Old APIs and generic Notifications channel are
|
|
still available, but will be removed, so please convert your code to using new
|
|
Receive* APIs.
|
|
|
|
Removal of these APIs is scheduled for March-April 2023 (~0.102.0-0.103.0
|
|
releases).
|
|
|
|
## Prometheus RPC counters
|
|
|
|
A number of neogo_${method}_called Prometheus counters are marked as
|
|
deprecated since version 0.99.5, neogo_rpc_${method}_time histograms can be
|
|
used instead (that also have a counter).
|
|
|
|
It's not a frequently used thing and it's easy to replace it, so removal of
|
|
old counters is scheduled for January-February 2023 (~0.100.X release).
