⭐ Highlights

DDO integration

  • Boost now support onboarding verified direct deals. 
boostd import-direct --help
NAME:
   boostd import-direct - Import data for direct onboarding flow with Boost

USAGE:
   boostd import-direct [command options] <piececid> <file>

OPTIONS:
   --delete-after-import   whether to delete the data for the import after the data has been added to a sector (default: false)
   --client-addr value     
   --allocation-id value   (default: 0)
   --remove-unsealed-copy  (default: false)
   --skip-ipni-announce    indicates that deal index should not be announced to the IPNI(Network Indexer) (default: false)
   --start-epoch value     start epoch by when the deal should be proved by provider on-chain (default: 2 days from now) (default: 0)
   --help, -h              show help
  • Boost UI has a new deals page for direct deals.
  • The Boost client now offers extended functionality for handling data caps. Users can leverage the boostd client to create new data cap allocations, in addition to viewing a list of existing allocations. This streamlines the process of managing storage quotas for your direct deals.

LID clean up

  • A new process now runs every 6 hours to automatically clean up old deals from the LID. It reduces the storage footprint of the LID, improving overall performance and efficiency.
    By removing unnecessary data, the LID becomes more streamlined and easier to manage.
  • Deals that have been completed or have been penalized for violating storage commitments are no longer stored in the LID. Deals associated with the legacy system are removed once completed. Direct deals that have reached their maximum term are purged from the LID.
  • The cleanup process also removes any orphaned deals from the LID. These are deals that don't have a corresponding entry in the SQL database but are still attributed to a particular miner.

🏗️ Improvements

  • Users can advertise new deals and removal of old deals manually to IPNI.
  • Boost no longer uses go-fil-markets repo as a dependency. All the code for handling legacy deals had been purged from Boost.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in an unexpected "End of File" (EOF) error during the parsing of segments for PODSI deals.
  • We've eliminated the practice of on-the-fly indexing for deals. This approach involved indexing deals whenever encountered through HTTP requests or Bitswap retrievals to reduce inefficiencies that could arise when dealing with unsealed sectors or inaccurate IPNI information.
