Node 10.3.1 primarily improves on performance: it improves execution speed, reduces memory usage and gives faster synchronisation times. In addition, it provides several enhancements to the new tracing system. It also provides support for light-weight checkpointing that is needed to enable ouroboros-genesis. Finally, it includes bug-fixes for a number of CLI commands. The docker images for node and submit-api have also received improvements to streamline operations.
System testing results for the 10.3.1 release can be found on the corresponding tag testing page.
Benchmarking reports relevant to the 10.3.1 release can be found in this post on Cardano Updates.
Known Issues
- New tracing system:
connectionManager_*metrics are incorrect; the underlying trace messageConnectionManagerCountershowever logs the correct values. - New tracing system:
slotsMissedmetric is incorrect; it falsely counts slots since the most recent block production as missed. However, the block producer does not actually miss a slot. -
GenesisMode: the optional
peerSnapshotFiledeclaration in the topology file interprets relative paths with respect to node's binary directory rather than the topology file directory. -
There is a known bug with the experimental Ouroboros Genesis feature that is not yet recommended for mainnet use. ChainSync Jumping (CSJ) is not disabled once a node is caught up. This should not affect normal operation of the syncing node, but does risk a DoS attack for the caught-up node. It will be corrected in a future release (Issue https://github.com/IntersectMBO/ouroboros-consensus/issues/1490).
