ava-labs/avalanchego v1.4.10

Apricot Phase 2 - Patch 10

on GitHub

This update is backwards compatible. It is optional, but encouraged. The patch includes performance, throttling, and VM improvements.

Note that in AvalancheGo >= v1.4.10, C-Chain pruning is enabled by default. If you need archive mode functionality (i.e. historical lookups) on the C-Chain, set C-Chain config flag pruning-enabled to false. See here for more information on C-Chain config.

• Added support to use RocksDB rather than LevelDB on supported architectures.
• Restructured inbound network throttling to be managed once in networking rather than once at each chain, to properly restrict the bandwidth usage of peer nodes.
• Updated outbound network throttling to weight allocated bytes by stake.
• Updated the default value of the pruning-enabled flag to true for the C-chain.
• Enabled registering of custom VMs over RPC.
• Updated blockchain status to report validation status.
• Moved TimestampVM into its own repository to match the expected VM creation path.
• Fixed protobuf code-gen script to place grpc files in the correct location.
• Passed the block bytes through the rpcchainvm#Block.Verify to avoid any potential cache eviction verification failures.
