v0.2.0

[exploreriii]

This release is large. The headline themes are: stricter typing, better ergonomics, broader receipt/query capabilities, TLS hardening, and a major cleanup of examples, docs, and automation.

The source code changes are described at a high level:

New Features

EVM & Mirror Node Integration:

• AccountId now supports initialization and conversion from EVM addresses (20-byte hex).

• Added populate_account_num and populate_evm_address to AccountId to resolve missing identifiers via Mirror Node REST queries.

• ContractId updated with to_evm_address using a new to_solidity_address helper.

• Client Enhancements:

  • New Client.from_env() method to automatically initialize a client from a .env file using OPERATOR_ID, OPERATOR_KEY, and NETWORK variables.
  • Added support for TLS configuration, including custom root certificates and certificate verification toggles.
  • New update_network() method to refresh node lists from mirror nodes.

• Key Utilities:

  • Introduced a unified Key type alias (Union of PrivateKey and PublicKey) and a key_to_proto helper to simplify transaction construction.

• Data Models:

  • Added AssessedCustomFee to represent fees collected during transactions, as found in transaction records.
  • Added StakingInfo to provide details on account staking status and rewards.

• Hbar Units:

  • Added convenience factory methods for Hbar: from_microbars, from_millibars, from_kilobars, and from_megabars.

Changes & Improvements

• Developer Experience:

  • Added human-friendly str and developer-friendly repr methods to AccountBalance, AccountInfo, AccountId, StakingInfo, and AssessedCustomFee.

• Query Execution:

• Standardized execute() methods across various queries (e.g., AccountRecordsQuery, ContractInfoQuery, TokenInfoQuery) to accept an optional timeout parameter.

• Improved query payment logic to fallback to the client-level default_max_query_payment if not explicitly set on the query.

• Transaction Handling:

• AccountCreateTransaction now accepts both PrivateKey and PublicKey for setting account keys.

• Added set_transaction_valid_duration to the base Transaction class.

• Node Management:

  • Refined node health tracking with backoff increase/decrease logic and automatic re-admission of healthy nodes.

⚠️ Breaking Changes & Deprecations

• Deprecations:

  • CustomFixedFee.set_amount_in_tinybars() is now deprecated. Developers should use set_hbar_amount(Hbar.from_tinybars(amount)) instead.

• Behavioral Changes:

• AccountId.hash now only hashes the shard, realm, and num, excluding the alias_key.

• The Client now defaults to a 10-second gRPC deadline and a 120-second request timeout.
