This non-mandatory update includes all planned features and code from the upcoming Anchor Hardfork (11.2.0). While not mandatory, we encourage operators to experiment early with this release and its new features, such as connecting to an Arbitrum One RPC node, before they become strict requirements following the Anchor Hardfork.
Under the hood this release has myriad changes to reliability and performance, a new logging system, new more maintainable RPC layer, along with all the code (not yet activated on mainnet) to turn the oxen chain into the "work chain" following the upcoming SESH Arbitrum launch. This is the same code (fix fixes) that has been active on our public "stagenet" for a few months, but we are now confident enough to recommend this version instead of the current 10.6.x release for existing and new installations.
Specifying an L2 provider
This release does not yet require an L2 provider (that will become required in the mandatory upgrade 11.2.0), but an L2 provider can be configured ahead of that schedule to test that it works by add a line:
l2-provider=https://arbitrum-one-provider-url
to the oxen.conf configuration file. (You can add multiple such lines if you want to have a primary + backup L2 providers).
Updating service nodes
For service node operators using Debian 11+ and Ubuntu 20.04+, the upgraded packages are available from our APT repository. Static binaries for other users are available below.
Note that this release requires an updated oxen-storage-server (2.9.0) with some minor bug fixes and small new features, and lokinet (0.9.13) with some minor fixes.
