Chia-Network/chia-blockchain 1.0beta23 on GitHub

[1.0beta23] aka Beta 1.23 - 2021-01-26

Added

The GUI now displays sub blocks as well as transaction blocks on the Full Node page.
chia plots check enforces a minimum of -n 5 to decrease false negatives. Thanks to @eFishCent for these ongoing pull requests!
Testnets and mainnets will now have an initial period of sub blocks where transactions are blocked.
Transaction volume testing added to tests and various tests have been sped up.
We have added connection limits for max_inbound_wallet, max_inbound_farmer, and max_inbound_timelord.

Changed

On starting full node, the weight proof cache does not attempt to load all sub blocks. Startup times are noticeably improved though there remains a hesitation when validating the mempool. Our clvm Rust implementation, which will likely ship in the next release, will drop example processing times from 180 to 3 seconds.
Changes to weight proofs and sub block storage and cacheing required a new database schema. This will require a re-sync or obtaining a synced blockchain_v23.db.
clvm bytecode is now generated and confirmed that the checked-in clvm and ChiaLisp code matches the CI compiled code.
We have removed the '-r' flag from chia as it was being overridden in most cases by the -r for restart flag to chia start. Use chia --root-path instead.
chia -h now recommends chia netspace -d 192 which is approximately one hours worth of sub blocks. Use -d 1000 to get the same estimate of netspace as the RPC and GUI.
chia show -c now displays in MiB and the GUI has been changed to MiB to match.
chia configure now accepts the shorter -upnp and -log-level arguments also.
chia plots check now defaults to -n 30 instead of -n 1 - HT @eFishCent.
chia plots create now enforces a minimum of k=22. As a reminder, anything less than k=32 is just for testing and be careful extrapolating performance of a k less than 30 to a k=32 or larger.
We have updated development dependencies for setuptools, yarl, idna, multidict, and chardet.
Memory usage of full node greatly decresed, it should run under 200-300MBs and scale to very long blockhains

Fixed

We upgraded our fork of aiosqlite to version 16.0 which has significant performance improvements. Our fixes to aiosqlite are waiting to be upstreamed.
Errors with node syncing have been fixed
The Plots tab in the GUI will no longer show red/error when the node is still syncing.
Inbound and outbound peer connection limits were not being honored.
Weight proofs were not correctly extending.
In some cases when closing a p2p connection to another node, there was an infinite "Closing" loop.
chia show -c was showing upload MiB in the download column and vice versa. @pyl and @PsyDafke deserves credit for insisting it was broken and @kd637xx for the PR assist.
chia show handles sub block 0 better.
