go-algorand 3.17.0-beta Release PR

[Algo-devops-service]

Overview

Go-algorand 3.17.0 is a maintenance release that fixes some minor issues, cleans up stale code, upgrades the Algod client to Go version 1.20, and introduces enhancements such as backup DNS bootstrap support and initial PC trace support.

What's New

• 🌐 Network Resiliency: Algod now supports multiple DNS providers for bootstrapping onto the network increasing network resiliency against DNS failures.
• 💻 Go-lang upgrades: go-algorand now requires Go version 1.20, a change that improves the security and performance of internal Algod functionality.
• 🤝 Agreement: We have externalized our go-algorand's implementation of its cryptographic sortition to better manage its dependencies and make it usable as a separate library (see here for implementation details).
• 📦 Container: Multi-algod container setup is now supported. This is great for those who want to set up a private network with networking enabled as well as adding peers to a non-standard relay node.
• 👁️ Improved error handling: Algod will now return an error if it is unable to begin fast catchup providing a better user experience when trying to start a node.
• 🐛 Smart Contract Debugging: simulate PC-based execution trace has been introduced, one of the final building blocks towards the full debugger experience.
