This release does not include upgrade instructions if upgrading from v0.15.0 or later. To upgrade from an older version, please refer to past release notes.

Release highlights:

  • a fix for an issue that prevented the node from generating high-resolution (up to nanosecond) timestamps
  • introduction of an application-defined meta attribute to the Waku Message. This can be quite valuable for network-wide deduplication, deterministic hashing, validity checking and other planned improvements to the protocol
  • many optimizations in RLN implementation and its underlying dependencies

Features

  • Integrated a new group manager for RLN-protected relay 1496
  • Added application-defined meta attribute to Waku Message according to RFC 14/WAKU2-MESSAGE 1581
  • Implemented deterministic hashing scheme for Waku Messages according to RFC 14/WAKU2-MESSAGE 1586

Changes

  • Upgraded nim-sqlite3-abi to the latest version 1565
  • Better validation of protocol buffers 1563
  • Improved underlying Zerokit performance and FFI 1571
  • Node peer ID now logged with relay trace logging 1574
  • Continued refactoring of several protocol implementations to improve maintainability and readability
  • Refactored and cleaned up peer manager 1539
  • Removed unused and legacy websocket submodule 1580 1582
  • Use base64 URL-safe encoding for noise 1569
  • Various general improvements to RLN implementation 1585 1587
  • Started on implementation for new and improved filter protocol 1584
  • Updated pubsub and content topic namespacing to reflect latest changes in RFC 23/WAKU2-TOPICS 1589
  • Unified internal peer data models 1597
  • Improved internal implementation of Waku ENR encoding and decoding 1598 1599
  • Underlying dependency for RLN implementation now loaded as a static library 1578

Fixes

  • Fixed internally generated timestamps to allow higher resolution than seconds 1570
  • Fixed padded base64 usage for encoding and decoding payloads on the JSON RPC API 1572
  • Fixed incorrect relative module imports 1591
  • Fixed RLN relay erroneously storing messages from multiple apps 1594

This release supports the following libp2p protocols:

Protocol Spec status Protocol id
11/WAKU2-RELAY stable /vac/waku/relay/2.0.0
12/WAKU2-FILTER draft /vac/waku/filter/2.0.0-beta1
13/WAKU2-STORE draft /vac/waku/store/2.0.0-beta4
18/WAKU2-SWAP draft /vac/waku/swap/2.0.0-beta1
19/WAKU2-LIGHTPUSH draft /vac/waku/lightpush/2.0.0-beta1

The Waku v1 implementation is stable but not under active development.
