v1.1.3 Mainnet Release Candidate 1
The team has been hard at work as usual in the run-up to mainnet launch, and we've reached a major milestone, the launch of the Mainnet Release Candidate! If all goes well in the first week of block production, this network, this version of the software, and Mina will graduate to Mainnet!
To support the launch, v1.1.3 includes the Mainnet genesis ledger, mainnet-specific signatures (to prevent replaying transactions from testnets onto the real network), a new debian package name mina-mainnet and a variety of bug fixes and enhancements as usual. The network will launch and begin producing blocks at 2021-03-17 00:00:00Z. In the meantime, running a node will connect, reach "Bootstrap" status and then wait until the chain start time.
Alerting, Monitoring, and Testing:
- Metrics improvements all over the codebase in PRs #8158 #8045 #8116 #8194 #8223 #8241
- Implemented new libp2p checker for verifying uptime from the watchdog container in PR #8207
Automation Improvements:
- Automation changes for new networks in PRs #8225 #8179 #8239 #8235 #8242
- New block producer sidecar container/debian package for submitting uptime information in PR #8122 and related changes to the limited graphql interface in #8204
- Fix demo mode containers in Dockerfile-rosetta and Dockerfile-coda-demo in PR #8175
- Improved/standardized output for the genesis ledger tool to match existing bash tooling in PR #8217
Regressions Resolved:
New Features:
- Log warnings when users attempt to create transactions that will fail due to the minimum account creation fees in PR #8215
- Expose the transaction failure reason via the GraphQL API in PR #8192 addressing #5960 and #8151
