v4.4.0

Release Highlights

The new MINOR Dapp release is one of the biggest we had in while, introducing three new big features, as well as numerous fixes, style updates and quality of life improvements.

Continuing from the previous releases, we've continued transitioning the Dapp from using chain events exclusively to now having most of the events coming from the Subgraph. Some events, like the ERC20 Transfer still remains to be fetched from the chain due to various indexing limitation we've ran into.

Another group of fixes were centered around colonies which bring their own token upon creation, where the user won't have direct control of the Token through the colony. For "BYOT" like these, we've disabled the controls not directly available to the users (to prevent erroneously sending transactions), as well as allowing tokens to have a symbol length longer that we currently allow upon creation through the Dapp.

A final note about the "Whitelist" and "Coin Machine" extensions, as they will only be enabled for the Metacolony initially, with public availability of the future planned for sometime in the future. "Comment Banning" however is available right now for all colonies.

Whitelist

Whitelist is an extension allowing colonies to vet users from doing various actions. Currently it's only used in combination with the "Coin Machine" extension (via initialization params), but it's use in not limited, or exclusive to it.

It can function in one of three modes:

• KYC, where a colony member, who has the appropriate permissions, has to manually vet the user's address
• Agreement, where the user's need to agree to colony's terms and conditions
• KYC and Agreement, which is combination of the above

Coin Machine

Coin Machine is an extension that allows colonies to run their own Token Sale. While the standard way to run a sale is to exchange the colony's native token, both the sold token, and the purchase token are configurable, alongside a slew of other values to personalize your sale the way you see fit.

You can also combine this with the "Whitelist" extension in order to ensure the users that participate in your sale pass the required regulatory checks.

Comment Banning

While this feature was added with the "Coin Machine" in mind, it is available in all places in the Dapp where comments are allowed (Action Pages, Motion Pages, Recovery Mode Page).

If your user has the appropriate permissions, you will be able to delete a single comment, or stait up ban a user directly preventing all further comments from that user. All actions are reversible, so a comment can be restored, while a user can have their comment privileges be reinstated.

Be aware that this feature just prevents a user from using the comment, or chat feature, but does not actually prevent the user from interacting with a colony, their roles and reputations are unaffected by this, as their are governed by the contracts themselves.

Release Highlights

The new Colony Dapp release introduces a new Motions and Disputes feature, which allows you stake on, vote, escalate, and at the end claim your winnings for a successful (or failed) motion.

Motions can be created for all currently available Colony Actions, available to all colonies that install the VotingReputation extension from the Extension Manager.

As noted in the Contracts section of this release, for the Motions and Disputes to work properly, the "One Transaction Payment" extension, which is installed by default on all Colonies, needs to be upgraded to version 2.

v4.2.0

Release Highlights

With this new release, the Colony Dapp officially supports the Recovery Mode functionality available on the Network side.

This mode allows you to put your colony into Recovery, a mode in which you can update your colony's storage slots, with the intent of getting your colony functionality back in working order (if for some reason it got borked).

While in Recovery Mode all other actions and interactions with the colony are prevented until the colony is taken out of this mode. To exit Recovery Mode, a quorum of half +1 of users with the Recovery permission must give their approval.

New Features:

• #2391 Display colony upgrade actions in the home actions list
• #2373 Recovery Mode
• #2395 Improved loading conditional, and added loading message in Colony Extensions
• #2401 A new upgrade alert bar for optional contract upgrades

• #2405 Display correct user addresses and details on the members page listing

Deprecations:

• #2403 Prevent "Available Extensions" listing from showing the Coin Machine extensions

Contracts:

• We highly suggest that you upgrade your colonies to the latest v6 version of the contracts
