Update Priority
| User Class | Priority |
|---|---|
| Validators | High |
| RPC Nodes | High |
Nodes running versions older than v1.8.0 will fall out of sync at the T5 activation timestamp. Nodes already running v1.8.0, must update to v1.8.1 for the latest operator defaults.
Operators
Performance
With v1.8.0 we enabled state caching for block builder by default. Some nodes experienced validation errors caused by reading stale state in our cache sharing implementation. The issue could be resolved with a restart, affected nodes did not have their databases corrupted.
This release reverts this performance improvement, we are currently testing a fix which will be published in a follow up release.
- Builder prewarming: Reverted builder prewarming being enabled by default (#4710).
- Cache sharing: Reverted execution cache sharing between payload building and validation (#4709).
What’s Changed
- Reverted builder prewarming being enabled by default (#4710).
- Reverted execution cache sharing for the payload builder (#4709).
- Bumped the workspace version to v1.8.1 (6ade8f1).
