Spring v1.0.4

Spring v1.0.4 is a patch release focused on system stability, performance enhancements, and accurate logging to facilitate better monitoring and maintenance.

Note

This release patches a security vulnerability affecting API nodes. All public API nodes should upgrade to mitigate a possible denial of service vector.

Notable Changes

• Fast Shutdown in Irreversible Mode: Implemented a mechanism for swift and safe system termination when operating in irreversible mode.
• Memory Usage During Sync: Advance fork database root correctly when the LIB exceeds HEAD during sync, keeping memory within expected limits.
• Smoother Syncing with Tight Fetch Span: Resolved issues causing nodes to become stuck during synchronization with tight sync-fetch-span settings.
• Accurate Peer Connection Logging: Corrected the peer connections count in logs to reflect only active connections.
• Security Patch: public API nodes should upgrade to avoid a possible denial of service vector.

Complete Change Log

Performance

• Fast shutdown in irreversible mode.
• Fix fetch block with no block log. This removes unneeded warning by fixing underlying issue.

P2P

• Fix sync stuck that can occur with very tight sync-fetch-span.
• Fix stuck plugin http test.
• More accurate count of peer connections.

Tests

• Allow for block to not have qc_extension
