+ | ===== Replacing the Start-Qortal-UI script on QORTectors ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you're running a QORTector built before the launch of 1.7.0, you **no longer need the start script** on the desktop **or the update script**. You can simply remove the start script from the desktop, as from this point on you will be launching the **appimage file directly**. Once you make the appimage file executable, you **run the appimage file directly, by double-clicking it.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you would like to attach the Qortal UI **icon** to the file, simply **right click the appimage file** and go to **properties**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **When using the appimage** you NO LONGER NEED the previous start script that you used to use to start the UI, you can REMOVE that start script. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **You can add the Qortal icon to the appimage file** - by right clicking on the appimage file, going to **properties** then clicking the icon, it will open up a browse, and you can find the Qortal UI icon in the ```UI/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | (This is mostly for QORTector users, or anyone who setup their system in a similar fashion, with the **Start-Qortal-UI-Electron.sh** script that I wrote. That script, as well as the update script, are no longer needed if you use the **new appimage**. The appimage is literally an image of the Qortal UI application, | ||

+ | ===== Qortal UI Version 1.7.0 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Version 1.7.0 of the Qortal UI includes 2 new plugins aimed at QDN functionality. These new plugins are called ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Attempts to utilize these new plugins BEFORE the 'go live' timestamp, will FAIL. Do not worry, this is expected behavior and they will start functioning after the 'go live' timestamp takes place. At this point it seems like the 'go live' timestamp will be sometime on Friday, January 14th, 2022. We will announce when the actual timestamp is set, upon the launch of version 3.0. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Qortal Core Version 3.0 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you have your UI updated, version 3.0 of the core update will work with your UI. The 3.0 core version will auto-update from 2.1.3 without any added effort. The only thing that you will need to modify, if you're a **Linux or Mac user** is the stop script (stop.sh). The current stop script does NOT use the API key for the calling of the admin/stop call, and therefore will NOT function. There will be a new stop script launched upon 3.0 launch. You will simply need to download the new stop script and replace the existing one. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Version 3.0 update will include the new back-end functionality for QDN (Qortal Data Network), however, the functionality will not START WORKING, until AFTER the 'go live' timestamp for the QDN transaction switch. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We will make an announcement when this timestamp has been set, to let everyone know EXACTLY WHEN the new QDN transactions (data publishing, website publishing, etc) will be able to start taking place. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is by far the biggest update in Qortal history, and includes some of the MOST AWAITED features of The Qortal Network. We sincerely hope you enjoy building the INTERNET OF THE NEW WORLD with Qortal! |
