In This Release

Stagenet

In order to test new functionality without affecting projects on the testnet we represent new blockchain — stagenet. The testnet from now on becomes stable. The Waves testnet and mainnet will have the same versions and will be updated simultaneously. There is a separate .deb file for the stagenet in the release artifacts.

Please join the stagenet as a miner!

WEP 4: Block Reward and Community Driven Monetary Policy

Generators will receive additional WAVES with each generated block. The amount of the reward will be regulated by miners’ voting. WEP 4 is published here.

BlockReward is implemented as Feature 14. Please vote!

RIDE improvements

• Fixed complexity estimator returning incorrect values in some cases
• Decompiler improvements
• Callable function signatures exposed via REST API at /utils/script/meta

Node updates

• Protobuf schemas have moved to a dedicated repository, which also includes instructions on how to add them to your project. Note that this project is still a SNAPSHOT version, which means some interfaces or schemas can change before the final version is released. This release also includes numerous fixes and improvements in gRPC server extension.
• Added support for Java 11.
• As long as there are no established connections to other peers, the node will more aggressively attempt to establish a new connection, which should improve the startup process.
• When DEB package is reinstalled during updates, the Node process will be restarted automatically.
• The node will stop on a disk-related exception (e.g. when there's no space left on the device)
• Due to scheduling issues, previous node versions could mine microblocks less often than specified in miner config. This is no longer the case: this version improves mining accuracy ensuring that microblocks are mined as often as specified.

Deprecated API routes

/assets/broadcast/* routes have been removed for good. They have been hidden from Swagger for a long time, and now their time has come. Please use /transactions/broadcast instead.

Update Notes

There's no need to rebuild state when updating from v1.0.2.

APT repository

We are now providing an APT repository to make it easier for node operators to install and update their deployments. The repo provides mainnet, testnet and stagenet packages. To install the latest version of a package for mainnet from the repo, run the following commands:

curl -sL http://apt.wavesplatform.com/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
add-apt-repository "deb https://apt.wavesplatform.com/ xenial stagenet"
apt update
apt install waves-stagenet

Note: don't worry about the 'xenial' part in the repo name: Waves package should work on Debian jessie+, Ubuntu xenial+, and their forks.
Note: If this is a fresh install, APT will also pull all required dependencies (namely OpenJDK 8). Once the new version is released, you can easily update the package:

apt update 
apt upgrade
