kadena-io/chainweb-node 2.23 on GitHub

This version replaces all previous versions. Any prior version will stop working on 2024-03-06T00:00:00Z. Node administrators must upgrade to this version before that date. The 2.23 feature upgrade will occur at block height 4,577,530 which is estimated to be mined at 2024-03-07T00:00:00Z.

This version will expire on 2024-05-29T00:00:00Z.

To upgrade, pull the latest docker image or download the binary and restart the node.

Changes:

Updated to Pact 4.11: https://github.com/kadena-io/pact/releases/tag/v4.11.0
The coin contract was updated to version 6, implementing KIP-0022 (#1807)
Pact "verifier plugins" are now available, implementing KIP-0028 (#1777)
Fix a bug where nodes could take too long to start up if they took too long to
rewind to their latest cut. (#1791)
Rename two user-visible network IDs (#1810)
- development was renamed to recap-development
- fast-development was renamed to development
Running a node and making queries to /local should be much faster when the
?rewindDepth query parameter is provided.
Introduced new --enable-local-timeout (or chainweb.enableLocalTimeout)
configuration option to enable a timeout for /local queries. This is
disabled by default. (#1838)
New REST API endpoint features (#1800):
- The /payload GET endpoint now:
  - Takes a ?height query parameter, allowing you to specify the block
    height of the payload you are querying. This parameter will become
    mandatory in the future.
  - The batch query endpoint now supports submitting block heights along with
    their hashes. Instead of submitting a list of hashes, submit a JSON object
    such as:
```
{ "hashes": ["hash1", "hash2", "hash3"], "heights": [1, 2, 3] }
```
    See the Chainweb OpenAPI specification for more information on how to use
    this feature. This parameter will become mandatory in the future.
- The /payload/outputs POST endpoint now:
  - Takes a ?height query parameter, allowing you to specify the block
    height of the payload you are querying. This parameter will become
    mandatory in the future.
  - The batch query endpoint now supports submitting block heights along with
    their hashes. Instead of submitting a list of hashes, submit a JSON object
    such as:
```
{ "hashes": ["hash1", "hash2", "hash3"], "heights": [1, 2, 3] }
```
    See the Chainweb OpenAPI specification for more information on how to use
    this feature. This parameter will become mandatory in the future.

Upcoming features:

Internal reworks to support a new, more efficient storage format for block
payloads (#1800)
- This new format is not complete, and will appear in a future release.
- In the mean time, this has enabled the /payload API changes mentioned above.
Major internal reworks for an upcoming feature known as compaction which
will help reduce the amount of storage space for chainweb. (#1793, #1792,
#1812, #1820)
- Compaction IS NOT STABLE
- Usage of "compacted nodes" or tools is NOT currently supported

Internal Changes:

Major scalability improvements to core "checkpointing" infrastructure, allowing
faster full-chain replays and other operations (#1803, #1804)
Update RocksDB build to 8.3.2 (#1738)
Migrate to a unified Nix flake for Haskell developers on Chainweb (#1778)
Fix some perfectly benign, but scary warning messages, when compiling Chainweb
(#1779)
Several changes to address various test "flakes" and internal test
infrastructure improvements (#1811, #1822, #1813, #1814, #1816, et cetera)
Better logging in the mining loop (#1766)
