Breaking Changes

  • Feature Flag: None

Aptos Blockchain

General

• Cleanup various logs, to reduce (not-too-useful) log volume

Consensus Observer

• Support multiple concurrent subscription streams, to improve reliability and fault tolerance.
• Improvements to peer selection for subscription stream creation and termination.

Quorum Store

• Minor improvements to the performance of proof queue in Quorum Store.

Move

• Fixed a bug with ABI generation for Move 2 (bytecode version 7)
• Fixed some issues in VM enum implementation as result of auditing

Gas

• updated RestAPI gas estimation, to account for AIP-68 - Use Case Aware Block Reordering. Together those allow steady state traffic to pay minimal gas price, and go through with low latency, even if traffic for some DApp suddenly spikes.

Performance

• Validators optimistically commit data to DB before execution result is confirmed by a quorum, resulting in reduced latency.
