A couple of updates:

• Update to smart contract wrapper API - gas price & limit are now required upon contract object instantiation.
• Fixed potential issue for working with zero prefixed Ethereum addresses & public keys.

web3j's first Android release!

Note:

• The binary was built using jdk1.7.0_40 with target and source compatibility set to version 1.6
• The code generator uses JavaPoet which requires JDK 7+. Therefore for generating smart contract wrappers please use the command line tools that come as part of the 1.0.5 web3j distribution. All code generated is JDK 6+ compatible.

Updated code generator to generate Android/Java 1.6 compatible smart contract wrappers.

1. Solidity generator: fixed issue where no-arg constructor functions were not being generated correctly - see #11
2. Added logic to test for file existence with wallet tools before asking for password.
3. Fixed bug in wallet file generator where 12 hour clocks we being used in filename.

Added web3j command line tools.

See http://docs.web3j.io/command_line.html for further information.

1. Added Transfer class for simplifying Ether transactions in line with existing Contract class for working with smart contracts.
2. Created command line tools for managing wallets.

Addresses issue with unlocking accounts with Parity when no duration parameter is specified, see https://github.com/web3j/web3j/issues/8

1. Ethereum Wallet support
2. Refinements to smart contract wrapper generator
3. Core documentation written

The revised smart contract wrappers are now live! These wrappers support all common operations for working with smart contracts:

• Construction and deployment
• Invoking transactions and events
• Calling constant methods

1. Incorporated nonce into transactions being signed via Geth/Parity nodes
2. Created EIP-20 standard token integration test
3. Created Greeter integration test
4. Addressed bug where function encoder wouldn't process "0x" properly if return arguments were expected
5. Created Credentials container for account credentials
6. Added additional smart contract source code
7. Created Smart Contract documentation section
8. Created troubleshooting documentation section
9. Updates to transaction documentation
10. Cleaned up layout of source files for other documentation files.
11. Bumped version.
