- Version: v4.0.1

High-level summary
DApp Connector API v4.0.1 is a patch release on the v4.0.0 redesign. It closes a gap in the transaction method types: the option to disable fee payment was only available on makeIntent, and this release adds the same payFees option to all transacting methods in a backwards-compatible way. All transacting methods now share a uniform API.
Disabling fee payment lets a DApp construct a transaction whose fees are paid elsewhere, for example by a sponsor wallet running in a separate, dedicated service.
Audience
This release note is relevant for developers who:
- Use
@midnight-ntwrk/dapp-connector-apiin their DApps. - Build sponsored-fee flows where a wallet other than the connected one pays transaction fees.
- Maintain wallet implementations compatible with the DApp Connector API.
What changed (Summary of updates)
- Added the
payFeesoption to all transacting methods. Previously onlymakeIntentexposed it. - Documented the motivation for the option in the API specification.
New features
payFees option on all transacting methods
Every transacting method now accepts the payFees option that makeIntent already had, so you can disable fee payment on any transaction the connector builds. The change is backwards-compatible: omitting the option keeps the existing behavior of paying fees from the connected wallet.
