  • 🚀 Stability release for any 1.8.x users.
    For the most stable versions keep using 1.7.x.

    🔀 [FIX] transition from beam sync to full sync is now done with due care for concurrent access to the state DB to prevent state corruption in mixed state sync / beam sync / full sync modes

    🔀 [FIX]when restarting the node that has been offline for longer time the fast sync catch up mode is activated properly with state nodes sync now

    🔀 [FIX] beam sync data prefetchers now correctly request sender and receipient accounts (previously other way round)

    🔀 [FIX] beam sync code prefetchers are now executed properly (previously only for the first transaction in the block)

    🔀 [FIX] all beam sync tasks are now cancelled when closing the application

    🐎 [PERFORMANCE] minor improvement decreasing the number of lookups by 1 for beam synced nodes in cases where nodes are not in the state database

    🔀 [TECHNICAL] sync progress resolver does no longer verify the beam state and beam state is not taken into account when deciding sync modes

    🔀 [TECHNICAL] beam sync request are no longer generated after transition to full sync

    🔧 [CONFIGURATION] NLog configuration is now simplified with async and auto-flush wrappers added as attributes. SOme hints for users are added in the config file.
