Notable Feature Changes

Dark UI
Dark user interface.

Bootstrap
Wallet now supports fast bootstrap from the latest snapshot in the cloud or from the file.

This In-Wallet Bootstrap feature can automatically download and install a recent archived copy of the COLX database from a cloud-based location outside of the the COLX network itself. This decreases synchronization times from hours to minutes, without impacting the COLX network.

Governance
Governance tab added to the wallet GUI that improves user experience when voting.

Masternode owners will now be able to cast their votes on COLX proposals with ease by way of the governance portal within the wallet. This will save time and remove the frustration of previous complicated voting mechanisms in addition to the improved UI.

Change Log

BIP 130 Direct headers announcement
Add a new message, “sendheaders”, which indicates that a node prefers to receive new block announcements via a “headers” message rather than an “inv”.

Block database corruption
Block database corruption fixed after unexpected shutdown.

Autoupdate
Wallet downloads new release into /update folder in the data directory and ask user to open it.

Budget finalization
Random shift was added in the budget finalization process to prevent simultaneous submit by different nodes.

Settings
Privacy button in the status bar opens “Main” tab by default

More verbose log
debug.log is more verbose in some cases to highlight useful information.

RPC command listunspent
By default parameter

Code:

watchonlyconfig=3

in the command

Code:

listunspent

.

How to Upgrade
Shut down wallet. Wait until it has completely shut down, then run the installer on Windows or just copy over /Applications/COLX-Qt (on Mac) or colxd/colx-qt (on Linux).
