Stacks Files

This release contains bugfixes and improvements to the stacks-node and stacks-signer binaries, ensuring more consistent block production. This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.4.x.x.x.

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.4.0.0.3.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.4.0.0.3.0.

This release is recommended for all Stacks node operators.

This release includes the following changes: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/blob/3.4.0.0.3/CHANGELOG.md

Added

• Allow non-blocking event dispatching. This is off by default, but can be enabled in the node configuration.
• Introduced caching for contracts loaded/parsed within the context of a single Clarity transaction, reducing resource usage for many calls to the same contract.
• Add defensive memory allocation checks for miners and signers. This adds two new config options: max_assembly_mem_bytes and block_proposal_max_tx_mem_bytes
• Bump MARF index DB schema to v3: add squash metadata tables (marf_squash_info, marf_squashed_blocks) and the storage foundation for the MARF squashing pipeline.
• Add support for u64 children pointer offsets in the MARF trie, using a mixed u32/u64 encoding with a 0x20 bit flag for backward compatibility

Changed

• Exposed MockSignature::signature field and MockProposal::signer_signature_hash() method as pub in libsigner::v0::messages, enabling external consumers (observer/indexer tooling) to recover signer pubkeys from mock signer messages without maintaining a local copy of these types.

Fixed

• Fixed potential overflow in signer threshold arithmetic by widening intermediate computations to u64 (#7189)
• Mark a transaction as problematic when it hits the execution time limit.
• Fixed the miner reporting of the reason it stopped mining to prometheus metrics.
