Release Notes

IMPORTANT If you're building from source you must upgrade to libblst 0.3.14.

This release provides a number of important enhancements to the networking layer that will improve node resilience and robustness. It is recommended that all SPOs upgrade to this version. The main changes are:

1. A checkpoint file has been added to the preview configuration for genesis mode syncing.

2. More robust diffusion layer:

• Enforce maximum number of reconnection attempts by the outbound governor.
• Shorten the timeout when waiting for chain-sync to terminate.
• Increase chain-sync timeout in the StNext StMustReply state to a random value between ~10mins and ~15mins (it used to be between ~2.5mins and ~5mins).
• Fixed outbound governor bootstrap action.
