BETA-0.8.2

NOTE:
This is a BETA release. Please ensure you deploy it to your fleet at a slow pace. We recommend you update a small batch of nodes first and increase your deployment over time as the certainty of stability in your environment cements itself. If you run into issues, please communicate with us via discord so that we can work together to gather information and face any edge cases that escaped our quality assurance efforts.

Upgrade: (Same as previous releases)

  1. Shutdown Pocket Core

  2. !!! Ensure golang version 1.17 !!! or > golang upgrade NOTE: This version is new so please ensure you are on 1.17 or later

    ### Startup script linux users might find this useful (BenVan's Validator Script Only)
sudo apt-get update
g install 1.17

  3. Build from source, Homebrew or Docker:

    To build the latest binary from source, follow these steps:

    Navigate into your pocket-core directory:
    Example: cd ~/go/src/github.com/pokt-network/pocket-core

    Enter: pocket version
    You should see anything except BETA-0.8.2

    To grab the latest packages and tags we are going to clean the cache, swap branches to the latest tag using:
    go clean --cache
    git pull
    git checkout tags/BETA-0.8.2
    Once you checked out the latest tag and branch, we are going to rebuild the binary by entering in:
    go build -o $GOPATH/bin/pocket ./app/cmd/pocket_core/main.go

    After it builds, make sure you are on the latest release version by entering in:
    pocket version

    Output will be BETA-0.8.2

    If you built your binary using Homebrew, follow these steps to upgrade your binary:

    In a terminal window, we are going to pull the latest tap by entering:
    $ brew upgrade pokt-network/pocket-core/pocket

    After it builds, make sure you are on the latest version by entering in:
    pocket version

    Output will be BETA-0.8.2

    For individuals using Docker, all you will need to do to get the new container image is run:

    docker pull poktnetwork/pocket-core:BETA-0.8.2

    or

    docker pull poktnetwork/pocket:BETA-0.8.2

    Depending on which of the 2 Docker images you want to use.

### BETA-0.8.1

PLEASE USE:
https://github.com/pokt-network/pocket-core/releases/tag/BETA-0.8.2

NOTE:
This is a BETA release. Please ensure you deploy it to your fleet at a slow pace. We recommend you update a small batch of nodes first and increase your deployment over time as the certainty of stability in your environment cements itself. If you run into issues, please communicate with us via discord so that we can work together to gather information and face any edge cases that escaped our quality assurance efforts.

In continuation with the 0.8.x release preparations and your feedback, we have prepared this BETA-0.8.1,
changes for this version include changes to the CLI staking commands:

now we have the two options for staking clearly differentiated, each with its own command.

-pocket nodes stake custodial <fromAddr> <amount> <RelayChainIDs> <serviceURI> <networkID> <fee> <isBefore8.0>

-pocket nodes stake non-custodial <operatorPublicKey> <outputAddress> <amount> <RelayChainIDs> <serviceURI> <networkID> <fee> <isBefore8.0>

Check some of the New Features Here

As always, thanks again for your collaboration and feedback.

This Upgrade is in line with PIP-9 and enables the consensus rule change described (including the non-custodial operator address) with an upgrade Tx sent by the DAO, for more information about the rule change check this: PIP-9.

This means the change is backward compatible but includes a future consensus rule change, that when activated will require all nodes on the network to be running at least this version of the software to be able to continue to be part of the network.

The consensus rule change is activated after the chain reaches a specific height designated by the DAO in an upcoming upgrade transaction, so please update as soon as possible to avoid your node falling out of consensus when the upgrade hits.

This release includes changes to CLI commands and RPC routes in preparation for the new consensus rules.

  4. Enable the Cache:
    The cache is opt-in only but highly recommended. It can be enabled by using the flag --useCache in the start command. It increases the use of RAM to reduce the use of CPU. Make sure to have around 512MB of RAM above the normal usage. When running in a container, ensure a strict RAM limit, otherwise consumption will rise until the orchestrator resets the container. Startup times can increase significantly depending on your hardware. Please allow time for the cache to warm.

Example usage with cache:
pocket start --mainnet --useCache
