Release v1.13.2

on GitHub

This is a quality-of-life patch release for operators.

Update Priority

What's Changed

UX Improvements

• Fixes tempo download --force #7256:
  tempo download --force now deletes the entire consensus directory.
• Fixes tempo download not fetching required consensus data #7154: operators no longer need to provide tempo download --skip-consensus=false to download required consensus data. This now is the default.
• Fixes tempo download requiring explicit --datadir and --manifest-url arguments #7264: operators no longer need to provide these arguments (unless desired). With v1.13.2 the node uses the Tempo snapshot API to determine which manifest to download and correctly resolves the datadir.

Bug Fixes:

• Fix rare race condition leaving consensus metadata invalid #7203: never observed in real deployments but identified as a potential issue that would require operator intervention.
• Fresh or stale nodes can participate in consensus faster #6950: validator nodes that have been offline and are restarted with a fresh snapshot, or nodes that are freshly spun up, will now attempt to reconstruct their signing share by reading their last known epoch. If successful, they will participate in consensus immediately instead of waiting for a full cycle.
• Fix nodes refusing to start up because they cannot find boundary headers #7244: in certain scenarios nodes running with tempo node --minimal tried to read already pruned boundary blocks and shut down even though boundary headers were available and contained the desired data.
• Noisily rejects startup on invalid data #7255: due to manual intervention a node could be brought into a state where its available finalization certificates were older than persisted node metadata. This state is now detected early and a node shuts down with a clear error message.
