Changed

  • The new minimum Rust version is 1.61
  • The act of walking the mempool will now cache address nonces in RAM and to a
    temporary mempool table used for the purpose, instead of unconditionally
    querying them from the chainstate MARF. This builds upon improvements to mempool
    goodput over 2.05.0.4.0 (#3337).
  • The node and miner implementation has been refactored to remove write-lock
    contention that can arise when the node's chains-coordinator thread attempts to store and
    process newly-discovered (or newly-mined) blocks, and when the node's relayer
    thread attempts to mine a new block. In addition, the miner logic has been
    moved to a separate thread in order to avoid starving the relayer thread (which
    must handle block and transaction propagation, as well as block-processing).
    The refactored miner thread will be preemptively terminated and restarted
    by the arrival of new Stacks blocks or burnchain blocks, which further
    prevents the miner from holding open write-locks in the underlying
    chainstate databases when there is new chain data to discover (which would
    invalidate the miner's work anyway). (#3335).

Fixed

  • Fixed pow documentation in Clarity (#3338).
  • Backported unit tests that were omitted in the 2.05.0.3.0 release (#3348).
