1.1.88

This upgrade is OPTIONAL. It primarily enables testing of Solana wallets in advance of the Solana migration later this month by enabling export of a blockchain-node managed Helium private key to a Solana Paper Wallet compatible file. It also contains miscellaneous upgrades used for chain-following nodes running alongside Helium oracles.

Here are the changes since the last release. Note that this change log summarizes unreleased tags as well.

UPDATED

• Upgrades blockchain-core
  • support additional information for invalid Proof-of-Coverage witnesses: helium/blockchain-core#1525
  • support the region params cache: helium/blockchain-core#1527
• Updates seed node configuration to match validators: #202
• Updates Docker runner image to match new upstream build image: #204, #205

NEW

• Includes region parameters for gateway response: #198, #199, #201
• Expose wallet_export_secret endpoint that enables export private key to a Solana compatible format: #189, #203

1.1.81

1.1.79

This upgrade is MANDATORY - please update your node instances by 2023-01-17 11:59 PM UTC

Failing to upgrade will result in your node instance stopping once new chain vars are activated.

UPDATED

• Upgrades blockchain-core to support a new chain var which enables minting MOBILE, and has two small bugfixes to the command line interface: a better error message when syncs are paused, and fixing the fastforward CLI command.

1.1.78

This upgrade is MANDATORY - please update your node instances by 2023-01-17 11:59 PM UTC

Failing to upgrade will result in your node instance stopping once the chain vars are activated.

UPDATED

• Upgrades blockchain-core to to update grpcbox dependency to incorporate upstream changes to stream handling when the server is triggering the end of a stream (avoids disconnecting the underlying h2 stream directly to allow the client to finish processing the request)
• Updates helium-proto to add a missing lorawan region that caused streams attempting to encode the gateway's info to proto to crash and a new beacon/witness report invalid reason when the oracle is unable to find a valid density scaling factor for the asserted gateway location during validation
• Allows gateway info stream requests to properly filter gateways by recent activity both before and after the chain switch to oracle-based beaconing and fixes parameter handling to use the client-requested batch size for constructing response batches (a89ffcf)

Release 1.1.77

Not a mandatory upgrade

UPDATED

• Upgrades blockchain-core to latest as of validator1.15.12 to pick up fixes related to snapshot loading and processing (helium/blockchain-core@784d924)

Release 1.1.75

We request Node Operators to upgrade to this latest version no later than 2022-10-24 11:59 PM UTC, 4:59 PM PDT. This release contains mandatory chain variables that will be activated after the deadline.

UPDATED

• Upgrades blockchain-core to latest as of validator1.15.5 (helium/blockchain-core@83ed1af).

Release 1.1.74

Not a mandatory upgrade

UPDATED

• Protobuf pinned to a new commit (helium/proto@1a1a4ae) to support new fields via gRPC

NEW

• Chain follower gRPC API returns additional fields about gateways (owner, region, and gain)

Release 1.1.73

UPDATED

• Cleans up deprecated build targets to simplify targeting releases
• Clarifies documentation
• Upgrade blockchain core to cda612

NEW

• Ledger v2 (subnetwork) Entry support added and sub-token payments
• Max/balance clearing payment CLI and JSON-RPC API support added
• Staked balance added to account lookup
• Chain follower GRPC API additions to support off-chain oracles (Last Reward Height)

Release 1.1.72

UPDATED

Updated with performance improvements brought in through blockchain-core

• Of note, replacement of e2qc cache with cream, a rust-based nif library

NEW

Adds the ability for a client-supplied transaction key when submitting a txn to the blockchain via the node's blockchain_txn_mgr module. This allows for deterministic setting of the key by the client instead of simply submitting the transaction and waiting to receive an auto-generated key. The previous transaction-only endpoint is still active/available.
