flag and config variable. See ADR-52 @dongsam
- [rpc] #6329 Don't cap page size in unsafe mode (@gotjoshua, @cmwaters)

accomodate for the new p2p stack. Removes the notion of seeds and crawling. All peer
exchange reactors behave the same. (@cmwaters)
- [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.

PartSetHeader
within BlockID
from parts
to part_set_header

- [blockchain/v1] #5701 Handle peers without blocks (@melekes)
- [blockchain/v1] #5711 Fix deadlock (@melekes)
