Ergo protocol reference client 6.0.0-RC2

This 6.0 release candidate is suitable for public testnet 6.0 voting and activation, and contains some fixes:

Sigma:

• Coll.distinct removed ergoplatform/sigmastate-interpreter#1052
• v6 version of Context.getVar removed ergoplatform/sigmastate-interpreter#1050
• Global.powHit now returns UnsignedBigInt ergoplatform/sigmastate-interpreter#1049
• v6 version of Box.getReg is using unique method id now ergoplatform/sigmastate-interpreter#1048
• ErgoTree based versioning for new features ergoplatform/sigmastate-interpreter#1043
• It is prohibited to use newly supported in serialization types in context extension and registers ergoplatform/sigmastate-interpreter#1047

Ergo:

• rule 409 (parameters matching) replaced with new rule 419, which is identical except allowing for new (unknown) parameters to be written on the blockchain
• insertion of new voteable parameter , number of subblock per block, on v6 activation

to vote for a 6.0 soft-fork, put the following flag (120 = 1) into a config file:

ergo{
  voting {
       120 = 1
  }
}

Ergo Protocol Reference Client 5.1.2

This release is identical to 5.0.25 but on top of 5.1.0 codebase (so on top of RockDB)

What's Changed

• For issue #2174 by @zackbalbin in #2177
• Add peer Ban To Config by @mgpai22 in #2196
• Indexer code refactoring by @kushti in #2193
• Rework segment retrieval, added ordering test by @jellymlg in #2198

Ergo Protocol Reference Client 5.0.25

Ergo protocol reference client 5.0.25. It contains following PRs:

• lastMempoolUpdate field to added to /info, new API methods /transactions/unconfirmed/transactionIds and /transactions/unconfirmed/byTransactionIds #2177

• New bannedPeers field in config to permaban peers #2196

• Improved rollbacks processing in extra indices, more tests and some refactoring #2193

• Rework segments retrieval to preserve ordering in /blockchain methods #2198

Contributors: @jellymlg @mgpai22 @kushti @zackbalbin

Ergo Protocol Reference Client 5.1.1

This release is identical to 5.0.24 but relies on RocksDB instead of LevelDB.

Still experimental release.

You need to start with fresh database with it, only /wallet/keystore folder (which contains JSON with encrypted master key). Even derivation paths from 5.0 nodes would be lost!

Ergo protocol reference client 6.0.0-RC1 (for testnets only!)

For testnets only!

Corresponding to the following commit in Sigma interpreter: ergoplatform/sigmastate-interpreter@fe3b907

What's Changed

• New numeric methods (bitwise operations, shifts etc) for the UnsignedBigInt type
• Rule #215 deactivated on 6.0 activation. This rule prevents from starting voting for unknown parameter. With that deactivation, from now it is possible to introduce new parameters in non-breaking way.
• Replaced Sigma validation rules tuning
• New parameter, number of subblocks per block

Ergo Protocol Reference Client 5.0.24

Ergo Protocol Reference Client 5.0.24

Identical to 5.0.23, only proper version update is done in configs, to avoid issues with Satergo wallet.

Ergo protocol reference client 6.0.0 Alpha2 (for devnets only!)

Ergo 6.0.0-alpha2 protocol client, for devnets only!

It corresponds to ergoplatform/sigmastate-interpreter#1027 in Sigma

Contains all the planned functional 6.0.0 Sigma features.

Activation:

create devnet config like https://gist.github.com/kushti/4f9c6b706ab16fcf2151cf1f3b531f7d
run as java -jar -Xmx4G ergo-6.0.0-alpha0.jar --devnet -c devnet.conf
unlock wallet to have block generation started (not really needed, as currently devnet is starting with Autolykos2, but this artefact in miner from Autolykos 1 is still in the code)
wait for 256 + 32 * 16 == 768 blocks for 6.0 activation

then you can use /script/p2sAddress API method to compile ErgoScript code with 6.0 features.

Ergo protocol reference client 6.0.0 Alpha1 (for devnets only!)
