Cortina.16 - Concurrent Trie Prefetching

This version is backwards compatible to v1.10.0. It is optional, but encouraged.

The plugin version is unchanged at 30 and is compatible with version v1.10.15.

APIs

Full Changelog: v1.10.8...v1.10.9

Cortina.8 - Partial Sync

This version is backwards compatible to v1.10.0. It is optional, but encouraged.

The plugin version is unchanged at 27 and compatible with versions v1.10.5 - v1.10.7.

This update changes the local network genesis. This version will not be able to join local networks with prior versions.

The first startup of the P-Chain will perform indexing operations. This indexing runs in the background and does not impact restart time. During this indexing the node will report increased CPU, memory, and disk usage.

APIs

• Added platform.getBlockByHeight

Configs

• Added --partial-sync-primary-network flag to enable non-validators to optionally sync only the P-chain on the primary network
• Added P-chain cache size configuration block-id-cache-size

Fixes

• Fixed P-chain GetValidatorSet regression for subnets
• Changed x/sync range/change proof bounds from []byte to Maybe[[]byte]
• Fixed x/sync error handling from failure to send app messages
