Cortina.16 - Concurrent Trie Prefetching

This version is backwards compatible to v1.10.0. It is optional, but encouraged.

The plugin version is unchanged at 30 and is compatible with version v1.10.15.

APIs

• Added log level information to the result of admin.setLoggerLevel
• Updated info.peers to return chain aliases for benched chains
• Added support to sample validators of non-tracked subnets with platform.sampleValidators
• Added avalanche_{chainID}_max_verified_height metric to track the highest verified block

Configs

• Added --db-read-only to run the node without writing to disk.
  • This flag is only expected to be used during testing as it will cause memory use to increase over time
• Removed --bootstrap-retry-enabled
• Removed --bootstrap-retry-warn-frequency

Fixes

• Fixed packing of large block requests during C-chain state sync
• Fixed order of updating acceptor tip and sending chain events to C-chain event subscribers
