Oxen 9.1.3
This releases includes some fixes and updates since the last 9.1.2 release and accompanies a significant upgrade to lokinet. We particularly recommend this update for service node operators as this update (and the accompanying 0.9.3 lokinet release) should significantly improve the performance and stability of the lokinet network.
Lokinet router testing
Starting in this release we add support for Lokinet router-to-router testing, similar to how previous releases have done storage server-to-storage server testing. In recent lokinet stability testing we noticed a fairly larger number of misconfigured lokinet routers on the network and so have added automated testing to assess the health of the network.
Note that both lokinet and oxend have to be updated at the same time: oxend will not accept local pings from a 0.9.2 or earlier lokinet release, and using 0.9.3 with an earlier oxend will result in unknown command warnings in the logs from lokinet's attempt to report the status of other nodes.
In this release we are only collecting information but not yet enforcing it. Similar to storage server test, you can view the results of one lokinet test from another service node using the oxend print_sn PUBKEY command.

Miscellanous small changes and bug fixes
-
oxend returned an error when a wallet attempted to look up all of its own (or another wallet's) ONS registrations when that wallet was listed as a backup owner of one or more of the returned addresses. The CLI wallet could also sometimes show the wrong value for Owner/BackupOwner for ONS registrations that had both owners set. (#1463)
-
the
prepare_registrationcommand has been enhanced to print an error if you attempt to prepare a registration but oxend has not yet (or not recently) heard from storage-server or lokinet. This should help prevent registrations in cases where lokinet or storage server have not been started properly. Many thanks to @javabudd (in PR #1457) for contributing the code. -
The active ONS registrations count is now reported by the
get_infoRPC end-point. We intend to put this information (and some other ONS-related functionality such as being able to perform ONS lookups) onto https://oxen.observer in the near future. -
Small build cleanups and fixes that might help for people compiling from source (#1456, #1462).
