This release includes changes to the protocol as well as some stability improvements.
As it changes the meta data format, a newer version (XXX or greater) of Horizon is required.
- Avoid 100% CPU usage when running certain commands (
--newhistfor example). - Handshake code in overlay had issue that would lead to peers not able to an error “unexpected MAC”.
- Align publish with network consensus, this avoids potentially publishing bad ledgers in case of corruption.
- Align catchup with network consensus, this avoids having to rely on timing (which may cause significant delays in catchup).
- Properly fail work when spawning a process throws an exception.
- Transactions are better flooded on the network.
- SCP: synchronize nodes over time to reduce chance of timeout
- SCP: nomination was sometimes computing “round leader” properly, leading to timeouts
- SCP: ensure latest quorum information is used when whitelisting validators
- Move to a more recent version of asio.
- Reduced number of warnings.
- Properly kill subprocesses.
- Moved to
Catch2(testing). - Moved to c++ 14 for the toolchain.
- BumpSeqOp w/ seqnum processing changes
- Stellar Lightning - CAP0001
- Liabilities enforced across the board
- Made offer rounding behavior more intuitive
- Moved signature verification to transaction apply step
- Fast fail not allowing to change trust on native assets
- Improved private network load testing
- updated
loadgeneratorto allow for more scalable and parallel submission of synthetic traffic. - Documented how to do performance testing
- updated
- New metrics:
- archive health
- performance characteristics of validators and network
- Validators can now be configured to upgrade to protocol versions other than the latest supported.
- Support for running tests in parallel
