ava-labs/subnet-evm v0.6.12

on GitHub

This release focuses on Uptime Tracking and Etna compatibility.

Compatibility

The plugin version is changed at 38 and is compatible with AvalancheGo versions v1.11.13 and v1.12.0-fuji.

This version (v0.6.12) can be used for both new AvalancheGo v1.11.13 release and v1.12.0-fuji Pre-release. Backward compatibility changes based on the AvalancheGo version accompanying this version.

For AvalancheGo-v1.11.x versions, Subnet-EVM v0.6.12 is backwards compatible to v0.6.0 and it is optional.

For AvalancheGo-v1.12.x (including v1.12.0-fuji), Etna activation introduces non-backward compatible changes.

Updates

• Refactored the warp backend and implemented the ACP-118 handler to increase the compatibility with relayers and VMs
• Added acceptedBlockDB, metadataDB, warpDB, validatorsDB inspections for inspect-database flag
• Added Uptime Tracking to Subnet-EVM that can track Subnet/L1 validators and their uptimes
• Added new ValidatorUptime warp message type and verification to verify and sign requested validator uptimes

APIs

• Added new validators handler (ext/bc/<blockchainID>/validators) and validators.getCurrentValidators API method

Configs

• Added validators-api-enabled to chain config for enabling/disabling the Validators API handler. Default is true

Fixes

• Fixed the VersionDB for MetadataDB and AcceptedBlockDB (PR #1375)
• Removed the unused shared memory and fixed persisting the VersionDB for Standalone DBs (PR #1383)

Etna activation is currently set only for Fuji at 11 AM ET (4 PM UTC) on Monday, November 25th, 2024 on the Fuji testnet. Etna will active the Cancun network upgrade in EVM. Following EIPs will be activated with Etna/Cancun:
