Conflux v2.2.4-testnet Testnet Upgrade Announcement

This upgrade is mainly to solve the problems below:

RPC Changes

  • Implement trace_epoch in the core space RPC endpoint to return traces of two spaces in an epoch.
  • Update the Log data format returned by cfx filter RPCs.

Configurations

  • Add keep_snapshot_before_stable_checkpoint to decide whether to keep the snapshot before the era checkpoint. Setting it to false would reduce the disk space usage (it’s still default to true for further testing).

Improvements

  • Avoid having multiple broadcast tasks for the same peer.

I am a node operator/miner, what do I need to do?

If you have a running node, you need to

  • Suspend the running operation of the node
  • Replace the executable file named “conflux” in the run directory of the original node program with the Conflux executable file of the Conflux v2.2.4-testnet node program.
  • Restart the operation of the node
    If you start a new node, you can download the latest version of Conflux v2.2.4-testnet and run it.

What will happen if I do not upgrade the nodes or refuse to upgrade?

This upgrade aims to improve node stability, it’ll be fine if you do not upgrade.
