NOTE: Linux is showing a git revision of 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 in --version because of a corruption issue in set-git-rev that only affects static musl` built binaries. This is expected, and if it concerns you, please build from source.

Changelogs

Node *NONE*
Consensus
  • Changing the selection now traces the entire SelectView (including the tiebreaker VRF)
  • Ledger state query change: Replaced GetCommitteeState query with GetCommitteeMembersState.
Ledger
  • Prevent updating protocol version with PParamUpdate
  • Slight performance improvements to native script handling:
    • Remove redundant script hash verification.
    • Short circuit "multisig" and "timelock" verification for RequireMOf as soon as necessary number of scripts have been validated.
  • Check that the previous governance action of a specific type is either the very last action that has been enacted or is already in the current proposals set.
  • Replace queryCommitteeState with more powerful queryCommitteeMembersState, which returns more information about committee members and supports filters based on credentials and statuses.
  • Repurpose DRepPulser to encapsulate the Snapshots needed to run the EPOCH and RATIFY Rules. This has fixed some problem related to snapshots and behaviour at the epoch boundary.
  • Add an optional anchor to committee member resignation certificate
  • Prevent delegation to non-registered pools
Network
  • Added a 3673s timeout to chainsync's StIdle state.
  • Added a 97s timeout to keepalive's StClient state.

NONE
