BREAKING CHANGES
- Handshake protocol bumped to v14.0.0 — nodes must upgrade to peer with v2.6 nodes (#5120).
Features
- Import batches from postage events snapshot file. This bootstraps the node startup time and skips postage syncing by importing postage batches directly from snapshot files, simplifying node setup. skip-postage-snapshot config option can be used to opt out of the postage snapshot usage. (#5094)
Note: This is available only on mainnet and will be used only for new nodes (empty batchstore) - Instead of waiting a fixed duration, nodes will now rely on kademlia peer stabilization to dynamically determine when they are ready to enable protocols. This cuts down the warmup time (#5077)
- Added metrics to status protocol for analysing upload and download speeds on different nodes (#5059)
Bug fixes
- Addressed an issue where Prometheus vector variables were sometimes unreliable and not counting properly, ensuring accurate monitoring data (#5064)
- Fixed an memory consumption issue by reducing the number of background cache workers from 128 to 32 (#5090)
Improvements
- Added a clearer error message when there's insufficient funds to deploy chequebook on node startup (#5040)
- Enhanced gas cost estimation to be fully EIP-1559 compliant (#5118)
- Added exponential backoff to peer checks to speed up light node readiness (#5109)
- Added clearer exit error messages that provide more context to what went wrong (#5063)
- Removed deprecated swap-endpoint and swap-deployment-gas-price options (#5048)
- Upgraded to golang v1.24, incorporating the latest language features, performance improvements, and security patches. (#5083).
- Updated go-ethereum to v1.15.11 for improved stability and security (#5117)
- Updated smart contracts (#5093), (#5099), (#5104)
- Refactoring and code improvements, enhancing maintainability and performance (#5087), (#5065), (#5052), (#5041)
API Changes
- Updated /stake endpoint docs and removed outdated auth related entries in OpenAPI docs (#5040)
- Added isWarmingUp to /status response, providing clearer insight into the nodes current state (#5047)
