Spring v1.2.0-rc2

on GitHub

Spring v1.2.0-rc2 introduces significant advancements in the BP gossip protocol, enhancing peer discovery, connectivity, and network resilience. These updates build upon the dynamic auto-peering system introduced in v1.2.0-rc1, further streamlining block producer operations and network configuration.

Notable Changes

• Enhanced BP Gossip Endpoint Configuration
  Introduced the --p2p-bp-gossip-endpoint option, allowing block producers to specify their account name, advertised inbound endpoint, and outbound IP address. This facilitates dynamic peer discovery and simplifies firewall configurations.

• BP Peer Entry Expiration Mechanism
  Implemented an expiration system for BP peer entries, ensuring outdated information is purged and the network maintains up-to-date peer data. Entries expire after one hour, with updates propagated every 30 minutes.

• Increased BP Peer Entry Limit
  Expanded the maximum number of BP peer entries per producer from 4 to 8, accommodating more complex network topologies and enhancing connectivity options.

• New API Endpoint for BP Gossip Peers
  Added the /v1/net/bp_gossip_peers API endpoint, providing real-time access to the current set of known BP gossip peers, aiding in monitoring and diagnostics.

• Agent Name Inclusion in Peer Logs
  Extended the peer-log-format option to include the agent name, offering clearer identification in peer log statements and facilitating debugging.

• Versioned Signed BP Peer Messages
  Adopted a versioned structure for signed_bp_peer messages, paving the way for future enhancements while maintaining backward compatibility.
