Zebra 3.0.0-rc.0 Launch – Zcash Basis

The Zcash Basis is happy to announce the discharge of Zebra 3.0.0-rc.0.

This launch candidate contains the mainnet activation top for the Zcash Community Improve 6.1 (NU6.1) which is able to activate at block top 3,146,400. 

Assist for this launch is ready to run out earlier than the NU6.1 activation top. If we discover no points with this launch model, we are going to make a closing launch primarily based on this candidate previous to NU6.1 activation.

This launch additionally contains important updates to Zebra’s CI and Docker setup, in addition to efficiency optimizations.

Lastly, the discharge contains the next breaking adjustments: 

1. In an effort to standardise configuration of key infrastructure parts throughout the ecosystem, we’ve migrated zebrad to make use of a layered configuration utilizing config.rs. This has modified a variety of atmosphere variables which is able to have to be up to date in any scripts or configuration recordsdata which are utilizing the outdated names.
2. In an effort to simplify the Docker entrypoint, we’re not producing a zebrad.toml file or translating legacy Docker atmosphere variables. Node operators counting on any of the above should change to the brand new config.rs equivalents.
3. Now we have made block template technology a part of the default zebra construct and have cleaned up zebrad/Cargo.toml to take away the getblocktemplate-rpcs function flag. Because of this, the next construct command is not supported: cargo construct --features getblocktemplate-rpcs

You’ll be able to see a full copy of the included adjustments within the v3.0.0-rc.0 Launch Notes on GitHub.
