Overview

We're happy to announce Boost v1.5.1-rc1 release, with multiple changes and improvements!
Please make sure to upgrade to test the new features shipped in this release. See our upgrade guide for details.

Please review the Boost and Lotus compatibility matrix to plan your upgrade.

Highlights

HTTP Retrieval Updates

• HTTP retrieval URLs have been redesigned to support piece retrievals for Spade (previously slingshot-evergreen).
  • We've simplified the /piece endpoint for ease of use, and optimized for existing user needs
  • BREAKING CHANGE: We removed support for getting the piece by its PayloadCid and the ability to retrieve the payload. We may revisit adding support back if there is clear demand.
• We've added a new /info endpoint that includes versioning of booster-http to make it easier to track changes
• You can see the updated endpoints in the docs - https://boost.filecoin.io/experimental-features/http-retrieval.

Retrievals in the UI

• We've added a brand new Retrievals UI page which provides a 24 hour log of retrievals. This will enable SP's to have more visibility into retrieval failures, successes, and quick access to the retrieval logs.

And More!

• Docker devnet is now fully compatible with ARM based MacOS
• Lotus dependency updates to stable v1.18.0
• Configuration file has been upgraded to Version 4
• Boost client now lists fil-plus data cap in wallet list output
• The deal logs older than DealLogDurationDays set in config will be deleted from the logsDB to keep the size of the database in check
• Offline deal data import now support retry in case of commp mismatch or incorrect file path

Upcoming

• Work for new booster-bitswap binary is almost complete
• Metrics and stats collection is being integrated in Boost
• A new piece directory store to replace the existing dagstore is currently being tested
