For the next reset ================== [Alphanet] - Limit the number of faucet operations at 5 per block. [Client] - Autocomplete scripts for bash. - Smart contracts are now non spendable by default. [Node] - Prevent potential stack overflow in validation. - Fix concurrency issue where operations were cleared from memory before being used. - Continue background work on the multipass validator: cleanup and document data structures, better logging of resource requests, enhance requests for the same piece of data to multiple peers, split the code in smaller simpler components. - P2p: fix issue with data greater than 2^16 bytes - Irmin: use an experimental LevelDB backend [Build] - Refactor the economic protocol amendment code. Protocols are now compiled to functors, taking the type signature of their runtime environment as parameter. This simplifies the dependencies, and will allow third party developpers to instanciate economic protocols in other contexts than the node. - Switch from Makefiles to jbuilder, yay! - Rename (hopefully) all occurences of "mining" into "baking". [Michelson] - Introduce Micheline, the (now independent) IR of Michelson. The parser and printer should now be used on their own, outside of the client or node. - Implement a basic semantics of annotations. The typechecker now propagates annotations on types througout the code, and tagging instructions with an annotation allows the programmer to reannotate the element produced by the instruction. The emacs mode displays propagated annotations. - Add a version of `ITER` that takes a static code block and expects a colletion on the initial stack, and works like a `LOOP`, pushing the element of the collection one at a time on the stack. This is like `REDUCE` but using a static code block instead of a dynamic lambda. In the same vein, `MAP` can take a code block. - Add `LOOP_LEFT` that uses a different type for the accumulator and the return value. Continues while the top of the stack is `Left 'a` and stops on `Right 'b`. - Change timestamps to be arbitrary precision relative integers. - Add `SIZE` on lists. Reset 2017-11-17 ================ [Node] - P2p: fix issue with data greater then 2^16 bytes - Irmin: restore usage `git-repack`... (mistakenly removed) Reset 2017-10-13 ================ [Client] - Fix missing nonce revelation at end of cycle. - New command line analyzer and better help pages. [Node] - Various small fixes and error message enhancements. [Alphanet] - Use older leveldb-1.18 as upgrade to the newer version made the node crash. [Michelson] - Split the `key` type into `key` and `key_hash` to prevent an error raised when using an unrevealed key. Reset 2017-09-21 ================ [Node] - fix a performance issue in roll storage [Doc] - improve scripts and documentations on how to run sandboxed node or a local private network [Client] - add an option `-log-requests`. All RPC requests and responses to the node are logged on `stderr`. [Michelson] - Split the `key` type into `key` and `key_hash` to prevent an error raised when using an unrevealed key. Reset 2017-08-10 ================ This update includes changes in the on-disk state of the node and in the format of blocks and operations. It thus requires a chain reset. Main changes includes: [Doc] - The documentation previously available on the Slack channel is now available at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tezos/tezos/alphanet/README.md - The `alphanet` branch of the github repository is now automaticaly synchronized with `alphanet` docker image. And the latest version of the `alphanet.sh` is available at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tezos/tezos/alphanet/scripts/alphanet.sh No need to update manually though, the script auto-update itself when running: ./alphanet.sh restart Or: ./alphanet.sh update_script [Michelson] - minor language enhancements, mostly resulting from the feedback of Milo's daily challenge: http://www.michelson-lang.com/ - the alphanet scripts now understands a container: prefix wherever a file: prefix is accepted, temporarily copying the file into the container, and the emacs-mode is aware of that [Node] - Operations now include a block hash in their header. Such an operation could only be included in a successor of this block. - The economics protocol now refuses blocks that includes an operation forged more than 64 blocks in the past. As any constants set by the economic protocol, it is amendable by a vote. - Header of blocks now includes a hash of the "context" that result from its validation. This is currently the SHA1 of the git commit, but this will be changed in a near future for a safer cryptographic hash. - The node does not need anymore to maintain a full index of the operation to operate. This greatly reduce the memory and disk usage. - The node now builds against `irmin.1.3` where some of our code and optimizations were upstreamed. We were previously stuck to irmin.0.12. [CI] - This is not directly visible in the alphanet, but our CI infrastrucre is now ready for open development. More about that soon (or later).
