in this release we have substantial changes in code, configuration, and API extensions, but no breaking API changes. There are also no protocol changes for mainnet, so although we recommend updating to this version, it is not mandatory. Please check the full list of code changes with 226 commits and 325 files. Some highlights available below:
• H2 database filename have changed
• Configuration files changed, there is a new filename and now all default options are set in code
• Phoenix Wallet updated to version 1.3.2
• Simpler way to run for testnet or a private chain
• New build script based on gradle and updated github action scripts for automated releases/checksum.
• Improved tracking of indirect transactions (e.g. multi-outs)
• Support for running multiple chains (multi-verse) with the codebase
• Many database optimizations to handle more than 1 million account updates per block (5000 TPS)
• Improved database consistency test
• gRPC support removed/cleaned up
• Fix node problems if trying to broadcast a transaction with missing signature
• Token/asset functionality extended (not activated on mainnet)
To install, download the zip file and extract all the contents to a folder of your choice. Now either run the signum-node.exe file (if on Windows) or java -jar signum-node.jar otherwise. For command line options run java -jar signum-node.jar -h. Optionally, inside the conf folder, make a copy of node-default.properties and name it simply node.properties. Modify its contents to suit your needs. You will need Java 8 (recommended) or superior.
