In This Release

This is the Release Candidate for the upcoming Mainnet Release.

Node:

• When Waves directory is not defined explicitly in a config file or via system property, default paths will include network-specific suffixes, e.g. waves-mainnet or waves-devnet. For custom networks, suffix contains base16-encoded network byte (e.g. waves-custom-FF).
• Protobuf/gRPC schemes have been updated.
• Command-line interface for node and tools has been improved. Use waves --help for mainnet nodes installed from DEB package and java -jar waves-all.jar --help when running a fat jar.
• UTX pool will now pack at least one transaction into a microblock, even if it takes very long to validate. This will prevent miners from mining empty blocks under heavy load.
• UTX cleanup will run just once when height changes, not every time a key block is received from multiple peers.

RIDE:

• Decompiler now outputs match-case structure
• RIDE Api updates, including:
  • lastIndexOf functions added
  • toString functions added for Address structure
  • extractWithErrorMessage function removed
  • valueWithErrorMessage function renamed to valueOrErrorMessage
  • updated AssetInfo structure now contains assetId field and its totalAmount field was renamed to quantity

Update Notes

When updating from any previous version, node owners need to perform one of these actions:

• rebuild from scratch
• import a blockchain snapshot or use blockchain.dat from http://blockchain.testnet.wavesnodes.com/
