Description

Rotki v1.16.0 is our biggest release to date and contains the work done by the team in the last month. It brings a ton of improvements, bug fixes and features and counts 324 commit from 6 different contributors. Due to some architectural changes and the Easter break we had to group together a big amount of changes which lead to this monster of a release.

Some of the highlights are:

FTX exchange support
Ability to add custom assets of any type
Dynamic update of local list of assets and conflict resolution between local and remote assets.
Ability to customize block explorer per chain type and rounding method for the UI
More readable historical trades view
Ledger actions can now accept an optional custom rate
A shit-ton of new assets

Also from this release and on we are dropping support for MacOS High Sierra. Read more about it in the “Important things to Note” section.

Important things to note

Deprecation of High Sierra

Screen Shot 2021-04-21 at 15 29 25

Due to deprecations of various SDKs and libraries in MacOS, we are forced to drop support for MacOS versions High Sierra and below. That means you need to have MacOS hardware no older than 10 years to run rotki from now and on. If you can’t upgrade your MacOS out of High Sierra consider using the docker installation as there is no such limitation there

Automatic backup of old user database

Since this is a big upgrade for your user database, rotki will keep a backup of the previous user database (v24) around in case something goes wrong and there is need to revert. You will see a file like this in your user directory: 1618958450_rotkehlchen_db_v24.backup. It contains the v24 db at the upgrade made at timestamp 1618958450. If v1.16.0 runs smoothly for days then you can probably delete this.

From this version and on rotki may start keeping such automatic backups for you to make sure you can revert to previous versions during user DB upgrades.

Release Highlights

Customization of the supported asset lists

Now the list of assets in rotki has more functionalities! From this version you can add, edit and delete other types of assets apart from ethereum tokens.

custom_assets_add

Moreover the list of assets will be periodically updated using data from rotki assets repository. If you manually added a custom token in conflict with a new addition in our side a special menu will appear asking you to manually resolve the conflict.

assets_update

conflict

(1) You can choose to keep all local or accept all remote changes
(2) For every individual change you can choose to keep the local version or accept the incoming update
Differences between versions are marked in red color

Auto-fill of token attributes

When adding information about an ethereum token, just after adding the address rotki will try to automatically fetch attributes like name, symbol and decimals!

Another useful change is that you can selectively enable/disable a price oracle (coingecko/cryptocompare) for any given asset.

select_price_oracle

Improved access to documentation and other important links

Documentation is important for our users and as such we have made it easier to reach it from rotki. A new question mark icon has been added at the right of the top menu that will display useful links.

documentation

To get support consider reaching out to our discord channel and if you have any issue to report you can do so in Github. Finally make sure to follow us in twitter.

Support for the FTX exchange

We have added FTX to our list of supported exchanges! Your FTX balances will now be pulled by rotki and your trade history and deposit/withdrawals history will be taken into account during profit/loss calculation.

ftx_support

ETH2 staking improvements

We have made improvements for our ETH2 staking users. Now in your settings ETH2 appears as a module and you can customize which addresses should be tracked for this feature. For users with many ethereum addresses this can lead to considerable speedup since only the relevant addresses will be queried for ETH2 beacon chain balances.

eth2_module

In addition now you will be able to purge information relative to ETH2 staking. This can be done from the settings in the data & security section.

eth2_purge

Optional custom rate for ledger actions

2021-04-20_23-54

Ledger actions can now also accept an optional rate and asset. If provided then this is the rate for the given asset that the main asset of the action was bought/sold for. In the screenshot for example 5 AAVE was paid to the user as income for 20 EUR per AAVE.

If this is not given then the historical price of the asset (AAVE in this case) at the given time is used.

Fee is now optional in manual trades

2021-04-20_23-59

This is something that was requested quite a lot. In the manual trade addition menu the fee is now optional, so no need to put zero fees if there were none.

New UI customizations

We have added some new UI settings that allow you to configure rotki according to your taste and improve your experience.

Customize blockchain explorers

If you have a preferred explorer or you have your own we have greats news! From this version you can customize the explorer used per blockchain both for transactions and for addresses. This feature is available at the bottom section of your settings.

customize_explorer

Customize the rounding method

Some users requested a more granular configuration on how rounding is made so we have a new section in the settings to customize this behaviour.

rounding_customization

These were the highlights. Check below for the full changelog :point_down:
