Spark Address Message Signing & Verification
This release introduces the ability to sign and verify messages using Spark addresses. This is an important step for proving ownership of a Spark address without revealing any private information or making an on-chain transaction, useful for identity verification, proof-of-ownership, and building trust in peer-to-peer interactions while preserving privacy.
Improved Transaction Rebroadcasting
InstantSend-locked transactions are now periodically rebroadcast. This improves transaction reliability by reducing cases where valid transactions might not propagate fully across the network, particularly in scenarios involving temporary network disruptions or peer disconnections.
Mobile & Developer Improvements
This update also brings improvements for mobile and light wallet integrations, with better performance and reliability for wallet in the backend. Developers and node operators gain richer Spark transaction data through enhanced RPC output.
Bug Fixes
And lastly Tor connectivity fix for Tor-only nodes, Qt6 UI fix for the Spark Names dialog, Various minor code cleanup and maintenance changes.
