RC-0.9.0
This release includes future consensus rules change, that when activated, will require all nodes on the network to be running at least this version of the software to be able to continue to be part of the network.
The consensus rule change is activated after the chain reaches a specific height (TBD) in an upcoming upgrade transaction, so please update as soon and safely as possible to avoid your node falling out of consensus when the upgrade hits.
Nodes Running BETA-0.9.0 are recommended to switch to RC-0.9.0 version.
Changes Included in this release:
- Mempool Refinements.
- Implementation of PIP22 (Stake Weighted Servicer Rewards)[RSCAL][VEDIT]. (@Andrew-Pohl)
- Customizable Max Block Size bytes and new tendermint evidence age.[BLOCK].
- New RPC endpoint for querying accounts (.../v1/query/accounts).
- Backport tendermint #6068 (terminate broadcastEvidenceRoutine when peer is stopped).
We would like to thank all external contributors who have contributed to this release in any shape or form, from ideation to reporting bugs and helping with QA efforts. Special shout out to @jorgecuesta , @rBurgett, @Andrew-Pohl, @PoktBlade, @DragonDmoney !
