Changelogs

Node *NONE*
Consensus *NONE*
Ledger
  • GovernanceProposals functionality:
    • Implement expiry
    • Enforce the supplied deposit amount
    • Enforce previous GovActionId is correct
  • Enforce deposits and ensure refunds for DReps. This affects transaction building functionality.
  • Enforce thresholds for votes from PParams for Stake Pool Operators and DReps
  • Delaying of ratification after NoConfidence, HardForkInitiation, NewCommittee,
    NewConstitution actions have been enacted.
Network
  • Introduced big ledger peers in the outbound governor with their own targets: known peers (default: 15), established peers (default: 10) and active peers (default: 5). The defaults for ledger peers (known, established, and active) were decreased to 85 / 40 / 15, so they sum up to the same targets as before.
  • Disabled light peer sharing if peer sharing is not enabled.
  • Removed light peer sharing in node-to-client (which leads to a memory leak).
