11.3.2 Service Node update

This release fixes recent issues observed on the chain since the hard fork:

• fixes a deadlock that could cause oxend to hang (and need to be forcibly restarted), most frequently encountered when using an l2 proxy.
• fixed a bug that did not properly clean up "zombie" records, and would prevent proper signature generation for claims and unlocks as a result.
• improves the reliability of pulse quorums properly validating incoming events from Arbitrum.
• Tweaks the default L2 provider settings to improve compatibility with provider free tiers:
  • The default l2-max-logs option is decreased from 1000 to 500, for compatibility with some free tier offerings (such as Alchemy). Under normal operations this will not increase credit usage, but will use more credits upon oxend restart. (If you provider supports more, feel free to increase the value in your oxen.conf).
  • The default for the l2-update-cooldown option is now increased to 1.25s, to help avoid request per second rate limits imposed by some providers' free tiers (notably Infura), most commonly during oxend startup when it is fetching recent L2 events. Previously the option was disabled by default and oxend would try to request logs as fast as the responses arrive from the provider, but this could hit rate limits.
• Make oxend more robust against L2 failures. Previously failed L2 requests could end up leaving oxend in a state where it wanted to deny L2 transactions (because it failed to fetch them -- possibly because of rate limiting). Oxend now delays pulse participations and proofs until the L2 logs catch up rather than sending bad data to the network.
• Fix an issue with how RPC responses are being returned that causes problems in current Session clients.

While this is not a mandatory update, it is strongly recommended for all Service Nodes operators to update as soon as possible to avoid deadlocks and to improve network reliability.

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 Ubuntu 20.04 support will be dropped in the near future, and operators on 20.04 should start planning to upgrade to 22.04 or 24.04.
