v3.3 is now live on Chromium for Beta testers, with two new features.
You can help us test the Beta (see Joining the Beta, below) or wait until this goes to production.

Vesting routes change detection

Vesting routes are a little-known feature of the Hive blockchain that allows one to set in advance which account will receive the HIVE during a power down.
By monitoring changes on your account vesting routes and notifying you if this happens, Keychain improves the security of your account.

The changes can be reverted or saved from the notification popup.
For developers who wish to test this, here's a code snippet to set vesting routes from account keychain-io to stoodkev using hive-js:

hive.broadcast.setWithdrawVestingRoute(
  "privateActiveKey",
  "keychain-io",
  "stoodkev",
  10000,
  true,
  function (err, result) {
    console.log(err, result);
  }
);

Export transactions

To simplify accounting, we added a tool in Settings > User operations > Export transactions,
that enables you to export transactions of monetary value on Hive layer 1, between two dates, as a .csv file.

The dates fields are optional. If not set, the transactions will be fetched between the first transaction and the last.
