Atlant announces 1.0.0-rc2 node release
This is a bugfix release that resolves node performance issues and adds new supported platforms.
The major bug that is closed within this release was about internal state DB growth. For our key-value store we use a 3rd-party component called BadgerDB (https://github.com/dgraph-io/badger/) and at the moment of our initial release it had a flaw, that wasn't properly documented. Since our release they improved that part in their codebase and added guidelines in the documentation, we followed these guidelines and now the issue is closed.
The issue with DB growth had the most effect on our testnet nodes, some of them became unresponsive and failed to sync with new clients. We strongly recommend anyone who tested the node to update the executable and restart the sync.
With this release we are starting to support node executables for Microsoft Windows and embedded Linux. You can build the node from sources at https://github.com/AtlantPlatform/atlant-go under newly supported platform or download a pre-compiled binaries here: https://github.com/AtlantPlatform/atlant-go/releases
The full list of supported platforms:
- Linux 32-bit
- Linux 64-bit
- Linux ARMv5
- MacOS 64-bit (10.6+)
- Windows 32-bit
- Windows 64-bit
Please note that there is no GUI available for Windows yet, you have to use BAT-script or command line to run the node.
