Release 3.1.0.0.6

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements in the stacks-node binary, ensuring more consistent block production.
This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.1.0.0.6.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.1.0.0.6.0.

Added

• The BlockProposal StackerDB message serialization struct now includes a server_version string, which represents the version of the node that the miner is using. (#5803)
• Add vrf_seed to the /v3/sortitions rpc endpoint

Changed

• Miner will stop waiting for signatures on a block if the Stacks tip advances (causing the block it had proposed to be invalid).

Release signer-3.1.0.0.6.0

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements in the stacks-node binary, ensuring more consistent block production.
This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.1.0.0.6.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.1.0.0.6.0.

Added

• Introduced the reorg_attempts_activity_timeout_ms configuration option for signers which is used to determine the length of time after the last block of a tenure is confirmed that an incoming miner's attempts to reorg it are considered valid miner activity.
• Add signer configuration option tenure_idle_timeout_buffer_secs to specify the number of seconds of buffer the signer will add to its tenure extend time that it sends to miners. The idea is to allow for some clock skew between the miner and signers, preventing the case where the miner attempts to tenure extend too early.

Changed

• Increase default block_proposal_timeout_ms from 10 minutes to 4 hours. Until #5729 is implemented, there is no value in rejecting a late block from a miner, since a late block is better than no block at all.
• Signers no longer view any block proposal by a miner in their DB as indicative of valid miner activity.
• Various index improvements to the signer's database to improve performance.

What's Changed

• Merge 3.1.0.0.5 to develop by @wileyj in #5798

Release 3.1.0.0.5

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements in the stacks-node binary, ensuring more consistent block production.
This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.1.0.0.5.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.1.0.0.5.0.

Added

• Add miner configuration option tenure_extend_cost_threshold to specify the percentage of the tenure budget that must be spent before a time-based tenure extend is attempted
• Add dry_run configuration option to stacks-signer config toml. Dry run mode will
  run the signer binary as if it were a registered signer. Instead of broadcasting
  StackerDB messages, it logs INFO messages. Other interactions with the stacks-node
  behave normally (e.g., submitting validation requests, submitting finished blocks). A
  dry run signer will error out if the supplied key is actually a registered signer.

Changed

• Miner will include other transactions in blocks with tenure extend transactions (#5760)
• Add block_rejection_timeout_steps to miner configuration for defining rejections-based timeouts while waiting for signers response (#5705)
• Miner will not issue a tenure extend until at least half of the block budget has been spent (#5757)

Fixed

• Miners who restart their nodes immediately before a winning tenure now correctly detect that
  they won the tenure after their nodes restart (#5750).

Release 3.1.0.0.4

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements in both the stacks-signer and the stacks-node binaries, ensuring more consistent block production.
This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

This is a required upgrade for miners and signers

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.1.0.0.4.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.1.0.0.4.0.

Added

• The stacks-node miner now performs accurate tenure-extensions in certain bitcoin block production
  cases: when a bitcoin block is produced before the previous bitcoin block's Stacks tenure started.
  Previously, the miner had difficulty restarting their missed tenure and extending into the new
  bitcoin block, leading to 1-2 bitcoin blocks of missed Stacks block production.
• The event dispatcher now includes consensus_hash in the /new_block and /new_burn_block payloads. (#5677)
• When a new block proposal is received while the signer is waiting for an existing proposal to be validated, the signer will wait until the existing block is done validating before submitting the new one for validating. (#5453)
• Introduced two new prometheus metrics:
• stacks_signer_block_validation_latencies_histogram: the validation_time_ms reported by the node when validating a block proposal
• stacks_signer_block_response_latencies_histogram: the "end-to-end" time it takes for the signer to issue a block response

Changed

• When a miner reorgs the previous tenure due to a poorly timed block, it can now continue to build blocks on this new chain tip (#5691)

Full Changelog: 3.1.0.0.3...signer-3.1.0.0.4.0

Release 3.1.0.0.3

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements, such as the stacks-signer binary will no longer accept messages for blocks from different reward cycles.
This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

Everyone running the stacks-signer binary is strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release.

For signers, there is an additional configuration change that is recommended for this upgrade.
This change configures your signer to allow tenure extensions after 2 minutes of idle time, aligning with the behavior of the majority of other signers.
In the stacks-signer config TOML file, set the following value

tenure_idle_timeout_secs = 120

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.1.0.0.3.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.1.0.0.3.0.

Added

• Add tenure_timeout_secs to the miner for determining when a time-based tenure extend should be attempted.
• Added configuration option block_proposal_max_age_secs under [connection_options] to prevent processing stale block proposals
• Introduced the block_proposal_max_age_secs configuration option for signers, enabling them to automatically ignore block proposals that exceed the specified age in seconds.

Changed

• The RPC endpoint /v3/block_proposal no longer will evaluate block proposals more than block_proposal_max_age_secs old
• When a transaction is dropped due to replace-by-fee, the /drop_mempool_tx event observer payload now includes new_txid, which is the transaction that replaced this dropped transaction. When a transaction is dropped for other reasons, new_txid is null. #5381
• Nodes will assume that all PoX anchor blocks exist by default, and stall initial block download indefinitely to await their arrival (#5502)
• Improvements to the stale signer cleanup logic: deletes the prior signer if it has no remaining unprocessed blocks in its database
• Signers now listen to new block events from the stacks node to determine whether a block has been successfully appended to the chain tip

Fixed

• Signers no longer accept messages for blocks from different reward cycles (#5662)

What's Changed

Full Changelog: 3.1.0.0.2...3.1.0.0.3

Release signer-3.1.0.0.3.0

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements, such as the stacks-signer binary will no longer accept messages for blocks from different reward cycles.
This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

Everyone running the stacks-signer binary is strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release.

For signers, there is an additional configuration change that is recommended for this upgrade.
This change configures your signer to allow tenure extensions after 2 minutes of idle time, aligning with the behavior of the majority of other signers.
In the stacks-signer config TOML file, set the following value

tenure_idle_timeout_secs = 120

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.1.0.0.3.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.1.0.0.3.0.

Added

• Add tenure_timeout_secs to the miner for determining when a time-based tenure extend should be attempted.
• Added configuration option block_proposal_max_age_secs under [connection_options] to prevent processing stale block proposals
• Introduced the block_proposal_max_age_secs configuration option for signers, enabling them to automatically ignore block proposals that exceed the specified age in seconds.

Changed

• The RPC endpoint /v3/block_proposal no longer will evaluate block proposals more than block_proposal_max_age_secs old
• When a transaction is dropped due to replace-by-fee, the /drop_mempool_tx event observer payload now includes new_txid, which is the transaction that replaced this dropped transaction. When a transaction is dropped for other reasons, new_txid is null. #5381
• Nodes will assume that all PoX anchor blocks exist by default, and stall initial block download indefinitely to await their arrival (#5502)
• Improvements to the stale signer cleanup logic: deletes the prior signer if it has no remaining unprocessed blocks in its database
• Signers now listen to new block events from the stacks node to determine whether a block has been successfully appended to the chain tip

Fixed

• Signers no longer accept messages for blocks from different reward cycles (#5662)
