Release signer-3.1.0.0.6.0

on GitHub

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements in the stacks-node binary, ensuring more consistent block production.
This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.1.0.0.6.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.1.0.0.6.0.

Added

• Introduced the reorg_attempts_activity_timeout_ms configuration option for signers which is used to determine the length of time after the last block of a tenure is confirmed that an incoming miner's attempts to reorg it are considered valid miner activity.
• Add signer configuration option tenure_idle_timeout_buffer_secs to specify the number of seconds of buffer the signer will add to its tenure extend time that it sends to miners. The idea is to allow for some clock skew between the miner and signers, preventing the case where the miner attempts to tenure extend too early.

Changed

• Increase default block_proposal_timeout_ms from 10 minutes to 4 hours. Until #5729 is implemented, there is no value in rejecting a late block from a miner, since a late block is better than no block at all.
• Signers no longer view any block proposal by a miner in their DB as indicative of valid miner activity.
• Various index improvements to the signer's database to improve performance.
