The main features of v0.7.0 are:
- the addition of gateway nodes
- the retiring of the store-and-forward providers in favour of gateway nodes
- got rid of TCP connections for clients, everything now happens through websockets
- a new Nym webassembly client, making it possible interact with Nym easily in browser-based runtimes
- reliability and performance improvements for mixnode networking
- initial validator code running (little functionality yet though)
Upgrading mixnodes from 0.6.x
If you are already running an earlier version of the Nym mixnode, you will need to re-initialize your node. It's safe to do this at present, as mixnode keys are currently short-lived.
nym-mixnode init --id <your-id> --host <your-public-ip> --layer 1 --location YourCity
