v1.7.3

This version is backwards compatible to v1.7.0. It is optional, but encouraged.

The first startup of the C-Chain will take a few minutes longer due to a minor index update.

Consensus

• Introduced a notion of vertex conflicts that will be used in future X-chain improvements.

Coreth

• Added an index mapping height to the list of accepted atomic transactions at that height. Generating this index will cause the node to take a few minutes longer to startup the C-Chain for the first restart.
• Fixed bug in base fee estimation API that impacted custom defined networks.
• Decreased minimum transaction re-gossiping interval from 1s to 500ms.
• Removed websocket handler from the static vm APIs.

Database

• Reduced lock contention in prefixDBs.

Networking

• Increase the gossip size from 6 to 10 validators.
• Prioritized Connected and Disconnected messages in the message handler.

Miscellaneous

• Notified VMs of peer versions on Connected.
• Fixed acceptance broadcasting over IPC.
• Fixed 32-bit architecture builds for AvalancheGo (not Coreth).
