Release Notes
IMPORTANT If you're building from source you must upgrade to libblst 0.3.14.
Node version 10.6.3 is a minor update to the Cardano node that includes an updated CHaP configuration for those users who are building from source. It is otherwise identical to node version 10.6.2.
Known issues
- Old tracing system: The new metrics counting soft and hard mempool timeouts are missing the common node metrics prefix
cardano.node.metrics. - Syncing mainnet from genesis is about 20% slower than on 10.6.1.
Release Benchmarks
Benchmarking reports relevant to the 10.6.3/10.6.2 releases can be found in this post on Cardano Updates.
