Ergo Protocol Reference Client 4.0.36

Ergo Protocol Reference Client 4.0.36. It contains following PRs:

• #1769 - after enough time passed we clear status for potentially stalled peer. Helps when the peer is still recognized as connected (but in fact could be disconnected), but the node can query it still because peer status from the past looks good
• #1779 - locally submitted transaction now checked synchronously
• #1785 - "Stats collector got strange input: SemanticallySuccessfulModifier(ADProofs..." log messages eliminated

maxDeliveryChecks value by default set to 100

Ergo Protocol Reference Client 4.0.35

Ergo Protocol Reference Client 4.0.35 release. It contains following PRs:

• #1765 - public API URL announcement got back, now serialized as a peer feature
• #1767 - P2P code simplified, global sync message lock removed
• #1772 - in case of non-delivery of a block section, the node is quickly switching to another peer now (and dropping connection with non-delivering peer)
• #1776 - P2P layer simplified by hardcoding some settings.

Config changes

Following settings removed from the config: scorex.network.maxHandshakeSize , scorex.network.maxPacketSize, scorex.network.maxInvObjects

New setting scorex.restApi.publicUrl added, you can announce public API URL to the p2p network via this setting.

Semantics of scorex.network.maxDeliveryChecks changed, now this is a global limit for non-delivery, if you are overriding default value with a small value, please remove overridden value or increase it.

Testnet Release With Fixed Post-EIP27 Sync

This release is corresponding to 4.0.31 with #1728 (a fix for #1726) merged. The PR being merged allows for syncing with the longest known testnet blockchain where both v0 and v1 pay-to-reemission contract syntax trees appear now.

The testnet is full of forks anyway, for reliable bootstrapping, please use trusted peers via following config:

scorex {
 network {
    knownPeers = [
	"213.239.193.208:9020",
        "195.201.82.115:9020" 
    ]
    peerDiscovery = false
  }
}

and remove peers/ folder (along with history , state , wallet/registry sub-folders in data folder before restart, in case of resync.

Ergo Protocol Reference Client 4.0.31

Ergo protocol reference client 4.0.31. It contains following changes:

• #1646 - support for tokens whitelist, with auto-burn for non-whitelisted tokens. Whitelist is switched off by default and can be reconfigured via
  ergo.wallet.tokensWhitelist setting. If tokensWhitelist = null (by default), there's no whitelist enabled, so the wallet keeps all the tokens. If tokensWhitelist = [] , all the tokens are blacklisted, and so all the tokens in the inputs will be burnt on a transaction made. If, for example, tokensWhitelist = ["03faf2cb329f2e90d6d23b58d91bbb6c046aa143261cc21f52fbe2824bfcbf04","003bd19d0187117f130b62e1bcab0939929ff5c7709f843c5c4dd158949285d0"] (SigUSD, SigRSV) , then all the tokens in the inputs, except of SigUSD and SigRSV, will be burnt.

• #1717 - as EIP-27 locked in now (and clients of versions 4.0.29 and 4.0.29 recognize it), client code could be simplified by removing lock-in logic. This version considering unconditional EIP-27 activation @ certain height (777,217 in the mainnet).

• #1719 - if emission box somehow lost during tracking, find it again in block transactions

Also, if mining = true, chain.reemission.checkReemissionRules must be true from now . So if your node is mining, please check that your config has the following setting:

ergo{
  chain {
    reemission {
      checkReemissionRules = true
    }
  }
}
