Change Log

v0.9.0

We are happy to announce the release of 0.9.0. This release includes binaries that you can download below.

This is a mandatory major version that does include breaking changes.

This release includes the new elected notary node pubkeys for S8 (Season 8), along with other important consensus changes and improvements such as KIP0002 (KMD Block Reward Reduction proposal) and KIP0003 (KMD Transaction Fee Increase and Burn), both of which were voted on and accepted by the Komodo community. As a result, this is a hard-forking release, making it mandatory for everyone.

S8 (Season 8) will commence at KMD block 4125988, which is expected around Fri Oct 4, 2024, 13:37:33 GMT+0000. Nodes that are not updated in time will not follow the KMD and assetchains mainnet. Therefore, it is obligatory to update by the mentioned date.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/komodo/compare/v0.8.1...v0.9.0

v0.8.1 [Falkor]

This update is mandatory and includes several security fixes, code refactoring, optimizations, and other improvements.
Update Rust compiler to 1.69.
Add notarisations specific unit tests.
Refactoring the legacy code that is associated with PAX, KV, and ratification transactions has resulted in a slight decrease in block verification and overall synchronization time.
Bump libcurl to 8.4.0 (CVE-2023-38545, CVE-2023-38546 fix).
Fix the value pools (sprout, sapling) calculation issue.
Minor fixes and updates.

v0.8.0-beta1 [Viserion]

This is a mandatory update, Komodo Season 7 HF planned on height 3484958 for KMD, and timestamp 1688132253 (Fri Jun 30 2023 13:37:33 GMT+0000) for assetchains. All wallets/nodes should be updated to the latest (0.8.0) software to continue following mainnet.
Reduce AUR 5% -> 0.01% (start from S7), as it announced in KIP-0001.
Memory Usage Improvement: The memory usage of komodod has been reduced by not keeping Equihash solutions for all block headers in memory.
Node Startup Performance Improvements.
Security fixes.
Upgrade project dependencies (libevent).
Add z_gettreestate rpc.
Minor fixes and updates.

v0.7.2 [Longpan]

This is a mandatory update, Komodo Season 6 HF planned on height 2963330 for KMD, and timestamp 1656077853 (Fri Jun 24 2022 13:37:33 GMT+0000) for assetchains. All wallets/nodes should be updated to the latest (0.7.2) software to continue following mainnet.
Fix build with new glibc 2.34 on Linux platforms.
Fix unoptimized depends build (bdb, boost, protobuf, zeromq).
Remove Verus (VRSC) legacy code: VerusHash, VerusHash 1.1, Verus POS/stake, etc. Chains which used VerusHash as primary algo, like LUMBER will be incompatible with new version of daemon.
Code refactoring. Perfomance boost on some operations.
Restore -exchange command line arg for an exchanges (this will disable interest/reward calculations and will set nLockTime in newly created transactions to zero).
Fix / refactor komodo_block_prg and komodo_block_unlocktime internals logic, get rid of VerusHash usage in it. Starting from this release all chains using -ac_timeunlockfrom, -ac_timeunlockto, -ac_timelockgte will be incompatible with new daemon (there was no well-known public blockchains using these features). Newly created blockchains (ACs) using these parameters will work without any limitations on 0.7.2 and higher versions of software.
hf22 / hfnet consensus changes and fixes, related to well-known issues of long-gaps between blocks, disappearing txes from mempool in-case of big gaps between blocks, etc. These changes aimed to improve the network stability, help to get rid of such gaps, and make txes propagation more reliable and stable.
Minor fixes and updates.
