v0.8.1

• logging: removal of duplicated block reception line

v0.8.0

new features

• GraphQL/Explorer mode exposes new objects like treasury balance and settings #1242 #1247
• jcli debug block to see the content of a block (or the leet feature) #1337
• new incentive parameters to encourage stake pool creation: #1338

  # set some reward constraints and limits
  #
  # this value is optional, the default is no constraints at all
  reward_constraints:
    # limit the epoch total reward drawing limit to a portion of the total
    # active stake of the system.
    #
    # for example, if set to 10%, the reward drawn will be bounded by the
    # 10% of the total active stake.
    #
    # this value is optional, the default is no reward drawing limit
    reward_drawing_limit_max: "10/100"
  
    # settings to incentivize the numbers of stake pool to be registered
    # on the blockchain.
    #
    # These settings does not prevent more stake pool to be added. For example
    # if there is already 1000 stake pools, someone can still register a new
    # stake pool and affect the rewards of everyone else too.
    #
    # if the threshold is reached, the pool doesn't really have incentive to
    # create more blocks than 1 / set-value-of-pools % of stake.
    #
    # this value is optional, the default is no pool participation capping
    pool_participation_capping:
      min: 300
      max: 1000

Fixed bugs

• rest node stats now include all the fragments (transactions and certificates) in the total block sum #1301 #1343

v0.8.0-rc11

bug fixes

• fix network issues when node stopped accepting new blocks and kept blocking on candidates #1329
• fix invalid CSV format of the reward dump for debug/audit #1321 #1318
• fix openapi file #1316 #1324

new features

REST API has been updated with new features:

• network/stats now display the IP address of the associated node #1261
• network/p2p/* to get details of the current poldercast and quarantine statuses #1332

house keeping

• testing of the reward mechanism #1330
• documentation fixes #1313 #1315

v0.8.0-rc10

Implemented enhancements:

• Update get settings output (maxTxsPerBlock, block_content_max_size) - 0..8.0-RC9 #1298
• REST: update /api/v0/settings #1248
• dump the data in csv so easier to process on the long run #1311
• write reward_info to a file at rewards creation AND fees_go_to settings in the genesis yaml file #1307
• Rest: settings/stats - update and cleanup #1299
• Add reward and treasury settings to settings REST #1291

Fixed bugs:

• Fix build on FreeBSD #1302

v0.8.0-rc9+1

same as v0.8.0-rc9 but with the lock update

v0.8.0-rc9

⚠️ Breaking changes: ⚠️

• remove useless block0 parameter: BFT Slots Ratio #1293
• BlockContent Size: finally set the right value for number of fragments #1288

I.e., in the genesis file it is now required to set:

blockchain_configuration:
  # set the maximum block content size (in bytes)
  block_content_max_size: 1024000

and the following value is no longer possible to set:

 blockchain_configuration:
   # ...
 
- max_number_of_transactions_per_block: {default_max_number_of_transactions_per_block}

-  # Genesis praos parameter D
-  #
-  # default value: {default_bft_slots_ratio}
-  bft_slots_ratio: {default_bft_slots_ratio}

Implemented enhancements:

• Add proper depth #1295
• spawn blockchain process to allow for more concurrent action to happen #1290

Fixed bugs:

• jormungandr v0.8.0-rc7 got stuck on synchronisation #1284
• jormungandr 0.8.0-rc5-cecea4d got stuck on synchronisation #1273
• Spamming the test net appears to break it or at least cause multiple node stalls long after the spamming stops #1235
• 0.7.5 (or nightly testnet) - generated blocks are not added to the blockchain #1221
• 0.7.4 - Blocks not getting added to chain #1220
• 0.7.1 Frequent Warning - WARN blockchain is not moving up.... #1183
• prevent panic if the given chain advance is removed from concurrent processing #1296

v0.8.0-rc8

enhancement and minor improvements

• add in more logs in the block event handling #1287
• add Fragment pool boundaries #1285
• future proof the network handlers by removing some unimplemented calls #1280
• blockchain: Rework task state #1279

v0.8.0-rc7

Implemented enhancements:

• Don't thrash slow connections in propagation #1277

Fixed bugs:

Because these are another fix in the reward tooling, it is a breaking change with 0.8.0-rc6.

• No rewards received - 0.8.0-RC6 - local cluster 2 nodes #1275
• 0.8 rc6 - delegator accounts (standalone) still not getting paid rewards #1274
• update chain-deps and include a fix in the delegators reward distribution #1276

v0.8.0-rc6

Fixed bugs:

Because these are another fix in the reward tooling, it is a breaking change with 0.8.0-rc5.

• Neither delegatee nor delegator are getting rewards - 0.8.0-rc5 #1271
• update chain deps to include fixes on the delegation #1272

v0.8.0-rc5

⚠️ Breaking changes ⚠️

• change how to set the reward account in the jcli command line parameter #1259
• because the reward distribution has been updated, it requires a restart of the blockchain too.

Implemented enhancements:

• detect node's environment/system settings at boot or on demand #1215
• return stake-pools public VRF key #1163
• fix reward distribution and expose the rewards in the REST API #1269
• Add version to REST node stats #1265
• Resolve the ancestor once for chain streaming #1258
• Don't panic on network task error #1255
• Expose resource usage limits on UNIX systems #1222

Fixed bugs:

• 0.8 rc4 - standalone delegators not getting paid rewards after pool owners/operators got their tax cut #1250
• fix rlimit builds on different libc impls #1267
• Yield the task after retrieving each block to send #1264
• don't fail on error in the client task #1249

Merged pull requests:

• Rest node stats REST cert fees #1266
