All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to the versioning scheme outlined in the README.md.
The chainstate directory has been restructured in this release. It is not compatible with prior chainstate directories.
/drop_mempool_tx
endpoint to notify event observers when a mempool transaction has been removed the mempool."reward_slot_holders"
field to thenew_burn_block
event- CTRL-C handler for safe shutdown of
stacks-node
- Log transactions in local db table via setting env
STACKS_TRANSACTION_LOG=1
- New prometheus metrics for mempool transaction processing times and outstanding mempool transactions
- New RPC endpoint with path
/v2/traits/contractAddr/contractName/traitContractName /traitContractAddr/traitName
to determine whether a given trait is implemented within the specified contract (either explicitly or implicitly). - Re-activate the Atlas network for propagating and storing transaction attachments. This re-enables off-chain BNS name storage.
- Re-activate microblock mining.
- Improved chainstate directory layout
- Improved node boot up time
- Better handling of flash blocks
- The
/v2/pox
RPC endpoint was updated to include more useful information about the current and next PoX cycles. For details, seedocs/rpc-endpoints.md
- Fixed faulty logic in the mempool that was still treating the transaction fee as a fee rate, which prevented replace-by-fee from working as expected.
This is a low-priority hotfix release to address a bug in the deserialization logic. The chainstate directory of 2.0.10.0.1 is compatible with 2.0.10. This release also begins the usage of the versioning scheme outlined in the README.md.
This is a low-priority hotfix release to address two bugs in the block downloader. The chainstate directory of 2.0.10 is compatible with 2.0.9. If booting up a node from genesis, or an existing node has stalled in downloading blocks, this hotfix is necessary for your node.
- Bug in microblocks inventory vector calculation that included invalidated microblocks as present bit. This bug will impact nodes booting up from genesis, but not affect nodes currently running at the chain tip (#2518).
- Bug in microblocks downloader logic that would cause the stacks-node to fail to wake-up to process newly arrived microblocks in certain instances (#2491).
This is a hotfix release for improved handling of arriving Stacks blocks through both the RPC interface and the P2P ineterface. The chainstate directory of 2.0.9 is compatible with the 2.0.8 chainstate.
- TOCTTOU bug fixed in the chain processing logic that, which now ensures that an arriving Stacks block is processed at most once.
This is a hotfix release for improved handling of static analysis storage and
improved at-block
behavior. The chainstate directory of 2.0.8 is compatible with
the 2.0.7 chainstate.
- Improved static analysis storage
at-block
behavior inclarity-cli
and unit tests (no changes instacks-node
behavior).
This is an emergency hotfix that prevents the node from accidentally deleting valid block data if its descendant microblock stream is invalid for some reason.
- Do not delete a valid parent Stacks block.
The database schema has not changed since 2.0.5, so when spinning up a 2.0.6 node from a 2.0.5 chainstate, you do not need to use a fresh working directory. Earlier versions' chainstate directories are incompatible, however.
- Miner RBF logic has two "fallback" logic changes. First, if the RBF logic has increased fees by more than 50%, do not submit a new transaction. Second, fix the "same chainstate hash" fallback check.
- Winning block txid lookups in the SortitionDB have been corrected to use the txid during the lookup.
- The miner will no longer attempt to mine a new Stacks block if it receives a microblock in a discontinuous microblock stream.
The database schema has changed since 2.0.4, so when spinning up a 2.0.5 node from an earlier chainstate, you must use a fresh working directory.
- Miner heuristic for handling relatively large or computationally expensive transactions: such transactions will be dropped from the mempool to prevent miners from re-attempting them once they fail. Miners can also now continue processing transactions that are behind those transactions in the mempool "queue".
- Miner block assembly now uses the correct block limit available via the node config
tx_fees_streamed_produced
fees are included in miner coinbase events for event observers- SQLite indexes are now correctly created on database instantion
- STX unlock events are now sent over the events endpoint bundled into an associated unlock transaction
- Atlas attachments networking endpoints are disabled for this release, while networking issues are addressed in the implementation
- Atlas attachments networking endpoints are disabled for this release, while networking issues are addressed in the implementation.
stacks-node --mine-at-height
commandline option, which tells thestacks-node
not to mine until it has synchronized to the given Stacks block height- A new RPC endpoint
/v2/blocks/upload/{consensus_hash}
that accepts an uploaded a Stacks block for a given sortition
- Enabled WAL mode for the chainstate databases. This allows much more
concurrency in the
stacks-node
, and improves network performance across the board. NOTE: This changed the database schema, any running node would need to re-initialize their nodes from a new chain state when upgrading. - Default value
wait_time_for_microblocks
: from 60s to 30s - The mempool now performs more transfer semantics checks before admitting a transaction (e.g., reject if origin = recipient): see issue #2354
- Improved the performance of the code that handles
GetBlocksInv
p2p messages by an order of magnitude. - Improved the performance of the block-downloader's block and microblock search code by a factor of 5x.
- Miner mempool querying now works across short-lived forks: see issue #2389
- JSON deserialization for high-depth JSON objects
- Atlas attachment serving: see PR #2390
- Address issues #2379, #2356, #2347, #2346. The tracking of the
LeaderBlockCommit
operations inflight is improved, drastically reducing the number of block commit rejections. When aLeaderBlockCommit
is not included in the Bitcoin block it was targeting, it is condemned to be rejected, per the Stacks consensus. To avoid wasting BTC, the miner now tries to send its nextLeaderBlockCommit
operations using the UTXOs of the previous transaction with a replacement by fee. The fee increase increments can be configured with the settingrbf_fee_increment
.
