v0.33.0 (2024-09-30)

Notes:

  • The --pubsub-topic CLI configuration has been deprecated and support for it will be removed on release v0.35.0. In order to migrate, please use the --shard configuration instead. For example, instead of --pubsub-topic=/waku/2/rs/<CLUSTER_ID>/<SHARD_ID>, use --cluster-id=<CLUSTER_ID> once and --shard=<SHARD_ID> for each subscribed shard
  • The --rest-private CLI configuration has been removed. Please delete any reference to it when running your nodes
  • Introduced the --reliability CLI configuration, activating the new experimental StoreV3 message confirmation protocol
  • DOS protection configurations of non-relay, req/resp protocols are changed
    • --request-rate-limit and --request-rate-period options are no longer supported.
    • --rate-limit CLI configuration is now available.
      • The new flag can describe various rate-limit requirements for each protocol supported. The setting can be repeated, each instance can define exactly one rate-limit option.
      • Format is <protocol>:volume/period<time-unit>
      • If protocol is not given, settings will be taken as default for un-set protocols. Ex: 80/2s
      • Supported protocols are: lightpush|filter|px|store|storev2|storev3
      • volume must be an integer value, representing number of requests over the period of time allowed.
      • period <time-unit> must be an integer with defined unit as one of h|m|s|ms
      • If not set, no rate limit will be applied to request/response protocols, except for the filter protocol.

Release highlights

  • a new experimental reliability protocol has been implemented, leveraging StoreV3 to confirm message delivery
  • Peer Exchange protocol can now be protected by rate-limit boundary checks.
  • Fine-grained configuration of DOS protection is available with this release. See, "Notes" above.

v0.26.0 (2024-03-07)

Note:

  • JSON-RPC API has been removed completely. Instead we recommend you to utilize REST API endpoints that have same and extended functionality. Please have a look at Waku's REST-API reference: https://waku-org.github.io/waku-rest-api
  • Support for Cross-Origin-Resource-Sharing (CORS headers) is added for our REST-API services. This allows you to access our REST-API from a browser. New repeatable CLI flag is added by this feature: --rest-allow-origin="example.com" or --rest-allow-origin="127.0.0.0:*" Flag allows using wildcards (* and ?) in the origin string.
  • Store protocol now has a better support for controlling DB size of Postgres store. This feature needs no user action.

Announcement:

Please notice that from the next release (0.27.0) we will deprecate features.

  • We will decomission the Filter v1 protocol and its REST-API access.

The Waku v1 implementation has been removed from this repository and can be found in a separate Waku Legacy repository.

v0.25.0 (2024-02-06)

Note: Waku Filter v2 now has three additional configuration options --filter-max-peers-to-serve=1000 drives how many peers can subscribe at once and --filter-max-criteria=1000 defines what is the maximum criterion stored per each peers

This release introduces a major change in Filter v2 protocol subscription management. From now each subscribed peer needs to refresh its living subscriptions by sending a SUBSCRIBER_PING message every 5 minutes by default, otherwise the peer's subscription will be removed. --filter-subscription-timeout=300 defines configurable timeout for the subscriptions (in seconds).

New experimental feature, shard aware peer manager for relay protocol can be activated by the flag: --relay-shard-manager=true|false It is disabled by default.

Announcement:

Please notice that from the next release (0.26.0) we will deprecate features.

  • JSON-RPC API will be removed completely. Instead we recommend you to utilize REST API endpoints that have same and extended functionality.
  • We will retire websockets support for RLN on-chain group management. You are expected to use HTTP version of ETH_CLIENT_ADDRESS

  • Start of an HTTP REST API implementation.
  • Support for a memory-efficient SQLite-only store configuration.

Changes

  • Added index on receiverTimestamp in the SQLite store to improve query performance.

Fixes

  • The in-memory store now checks the validity of message timestamps before storing.
  • Fixed underlying bug that caused connection leaks in the HTTP client.

  • Fixed issue where --dns4-domain-name caused an unhandled exception if no external port was available.
  • Avoids unnecessarily calling DB migration if a --db-path is set but nothing is persisted in the DB. This led to a misleading warning log.
  • Fixed underlying issues that caused WebSocket connections to hang.
  • Fixed underlying issue that caused WebSocket connections to time out after 10 mins.
  • Fixed memory leak in nodes that implements a SQLite database.

Docs

  • Added tutorial on how to generate and configure a node key.
