🎉 Exciting Updates in Masa Protocol v0.8.7! 🚀

Hey Masa community! 👋 We've been hard at work cleaning, improving, and polishing Masa Protocol to make it better than ever. This release focuses on streamlining our codebase, enhancing CI workflows, and refining functionality to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. 🌟✨

Highlights in This Release:

• 🧹 Major Cleanup: We've removed old singletons like AppConfig and KeyManager to modernize our code and improve maintainability.
• 🤖 LLM Deprecation: The previous LLM functionality has been fully phased out to align with our streamlined vision.
• 🔧 CI/CD Improvements: A shiny new GitHub Actions pipeline now publishes container images automatically! Plus, we've ensured .env files stay out of bundled images.
• 🐦 Twitter Tweaks: Updated package and follower response types to make our Twitter integrations more reliable.

We’re all about building a cleaner, faster, and more flexible future for the Masa Protocol! 🚀

A huge shoutout to @mcamou for their first contributions and everyone else who made this release possible! 🙌

Release Notes: Twitter Worker Selection Improvement and API Configuration

What's New

• Implement specialized selection process for Twitter workers
• Improve balance between high-performance and fair distribution
• Introduce smarter pool size calculation for top performers
• Add controlled randomness in final selection
• Enhance error handling for work requests with SDK
• Introduce new API-enabled configuration option (default: off)
• Improved anti-bot detection timings in Twitter scraper

Key Benefits

• More efficient utilization of best-performing Twitter workers
• Fairer work distribution, preventing monopolization
• Improved overall system performance for Twitter-related tasks
• Flexible API activation for advanced use cases

Todo - v0.8.5 release

• Write comprehensive tests
• Fine-tune timeout settings
• Optimize pool size parameters

Technical Details

The new algorithm focuses on:

• Balancing worker performance with fair task distribution
• Implementing a dynamic pool size for top performers
• Introducing controlled randomness to prevent work monopolization
• Enhancing error handling for more robust work request processing

These improvements aim to significantly boost the efficiency and fairness of our Twitter worker selection process.

API Configuration

We've introduced a new configuration option to enable/disable the API server:

• The API server is disabled by default for security reasons
• Users can enable the API server using one of the following methods:
  1. Environment variable: Set API_ENABLED=true
  2. Command-line flag: Use --api-enabled=true when starting the application
  3. Run the Make command from the Makefile

To enable the API server when running the application, you can use:

Environment configuration

API_ENABLED=true

Command line

./bin/masa-node --api-enabled=true

Or use the new Makefile command:

make run-api-enabled

Please note that enabling the API server may have security implications, so use this feature cautiously and only when necessary.

These changes ensure that the API server can be easily configured while maintaining security by default.

Time-Synced Login

The time-sync feature is automatically applied during the login process. No additional configuration is required.

Notes

• When using custom User-Agents, ensure they are up-to-date and commonly used to avoid potential detection.
• The time-sync feature may add a slight delay to the initial login process but significantly improves login success rates.

As always, please report any issues or unexpected behavior with these new features through our issue tracker.
