v0.4.0

Release Notes: Agave Testnet Update (2025-01-14)

This update aligns with the Solana Foundation's official restart instructions.

It includes Agave Testnet support and configuration file updates.

Agave Testnet Setup for Validator Nodes

If you are using slv version 0.3.x, update to the latest version with the following commands:

slv upgrade
cp -r ~/.slv/template/0.4.0/jinja/testnet-validator ~/.slv/testnet-validator
slv v codebot

Please make sure your ansible_user is solv in ~/.slv/inventory.testnet.validators.yml

slv v setup:agave --pubkey <your-pubkey>
slv v restart -n testnet -r --pubkey <your-pubkey>

For new installations, initialize slv using the following command:

slv v init

When prompted, select the agave type.

⚠️ Breaking Change: Ansible Inventory File Update

The following files are now deprecated:

• ~/.slv/inventory.yml
• ~/.slv/config.validator.testnet/.yml

Migration Instructions

To migrate to the new configuration format, run:

slv v codebot

The updated configuration file is now located at:

~/.slv/config.testnet.validators.yml

Make sure your setup uses this new file moving forward.
