  • [crypto] #6376 Enable sr25519 as a validator key

IMPROVEMENTS

  • [crypto/ed25519] #5632 Adopt zip215 ed25519 verification. (@marbar3778)
  • [privval] #5603 Add --key to init, gen_validator, testnet & unsafe_reset_priv_validator for use in generating secp256k1 keys.
  • [privval] #5725 Add gRPC support to private validator.
  • [privval] #5876 tendermint show-validator will query the remote signer if gRPC is being used (@marbar3778)
  • [abci/client] #5673 Async requests return an error if queue is full (@melekes)
  • [mempool] #5673 Cancel CheckTx requests if RPC client disconnects or times out (@melekes)
  • [abci] #5706 Added AbciVersion to RequestInfo allowing applications to check ABCI version when connecting to Tendermint. (@marbar3778)
  • [blockchain/v1] #5728 Remove in favor of v2 (@melekes)
  • [blockchain/v0] #5741 Relax termination conditions and increase sync timeout (@melekes)
  • [cli] #5772 gen_node_key output now contains node ID (id field) (@melekes)
  • [blockchain/v2] #5774 Send status request when new peer joins (@melekes)
  • [consensus] #5792 Deprecates the time_iota_ms consensus parameter, to reduce the bug surface. The parameter is no longer used. (@valardragon)
  • [store] #5888 store.SaveBlock saves using batches instead of transactions for now to improve ACID properties. This is a quick fix for underlying issues around tm-db and ACID guarantees. (@githubsands)
  • [consensus] #5987 Remove time_iota_ms from consensus params. Merge tmproto.ConsensusParams and abci.ConsensusParams. (@marbar3778)
  • [types] #5994 Reduce the use of protobuf types in core logic. (@marbar3778)
    • ConsensusParams, BlockParams, ValidatorParams, EvidenceParams, VersionParams, sm.Version and version.Consensus have become native types. They still utilize protobuf when being sent over the wire or written to disk.
  • [rpc/client/http] #6163 Do not drop events even if the out channel is full (@melekes)
  • [node] #6059 Validate and complete genesis doc before saving to state store (@silasdavis)
  • [state] #6067 Batch save state data (@githubsands & @cmwaters)
  • [crypto] #6120 Implement batch verification interface for ed25519 and sr25519. (@marbar3778)
  • [types] #6120 use batch verification for verifying commits signatures.
    • If the key type supports the batch verification API it will try to batch verify. If the verification fails we will single verify each signature.
  • [privval/file] #6185 Return error on LoadFilePV, LoadFilePVEmptyState. Allows for better programmatic control of Tendermint.
  • [privval] #6240 Add context.Context to privval interface.
  • [rpc] #6265 set cache control in http-rpc response header (@JayT106)
  • [statesync] #6378 Retry requests for snapshots and add a minimum discovery time (5s) for new snapshots.

  • [privval] #5638 Increase read/write timeout to 5s and calculate ping interval based on it (@JoeKash)
  • [blockchain/v1] #5701 Handle peers without blocks (@melekes)
  • [blockchain/v1] #5711 Fix deadlock (@melekes)
  • [evidence] #6375 Fix bug with inconsistent LightClientAttackEvidence hashing (cmwaters)
