eth_signTransaction output format

[mongrim]

Hi again

I saw, you implemented my request #2265.
Thank you for that.

Is it possible to make output format of this call the same as in geth?
To return

{
  "raw": "0x....",
  "tx": {
    "hash": "0x..",
    "from": "..",
    "to": "..",
    ..
  }
}

instead of simple raw transaction string?
I'm mostly interested tx hash part, but it's always nice to have fully compatible API to switch between clients painlessly.
Thanks in advance.

Sure, it should be implemented that way in a first place. Sorry, I haven't look carefully enough into linked PR.

Great, thanks for the answer.

Could you also provide some ETA for this feature to be included to a release (as implemented now or with improved format)? Week/month/two months/more?
And is it safe to take current 1.3/1.4 latest release, merge those 2 commits manually and start using it right away? Or it will break something else?

For now it will be part of 1.5 release (we try to keep 6-8 weeks release schedule).
It might be difficult to backport it to 1.4 and 1.3 since that part of RPC was also refactored in the meantime. PM me on Gitter I can help you with the merges.
