  • BlockChain<T>.Create() is now get IBlockChainState and ActionEvaluator as parameters. [#3029]

Version 0.53.1

Released on March 28, 2023.

Version 0.53.0

Released on March 27, 2023.

Since 0.53.0, we officially provide @planetarium/account-web3-secret-storage and @planetarium/account-aws-kms, which are npm packages that provides KeyStore implementations that comply with @planetarium/account.

  • *@planetarium/account-web3-secret-storage*: An npm package for providing Web3KeyStore which implements Ethereum Web3 Secret Storage (corresponds to Libplanet.KeyStore.Web3KeyStore).

  • *@planetarium/account-aws-kms*: An npm package for providing AwsKmsKeyStore which implements Account and uses AWS KMS as the backend.

Since 0.53.0, we do not provide Libplanet.Node package anymore. If you still need the package, use 0.52.0 or its patched versions.

Due to changes in [#2961] and [#2970], a network ran with Libplanet 0.51.0 or Libplanet 0.52.0 is not compatible with this version. Thus, it is recommended to skip Libplanet 0.51.0 and Libplanet 0.52.0 for deployment if possible.

  • TotalDifficultyComparer no longer considers perceived time when comparing IBlockExcerpts. [#1442]
  • General logic for determining the canonical chain has been updated. [#1435, #1443]
    • Perceived time is only used for marking a received header in BlockDemandTable in order to decide whether BlockDemand is stale or not. This should prevent a tip regression for a local node, as the tip of a chain is never considered as stale.
  • Block sync using BlockDemand became not to fill blocks from multiple peers. [#1459]
  • BlockChain<T>.MineBlock() now uses maxTransactions literally. [#1449, #1463]

    • It was possible for targetBlockInterval to be zero, which would result in division by zero, when this makes no sense.
    • It was possible for difficultyStability not to be positive when this makes no sense.
    • Wrongly threw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException for the case where minimumDifficulty would equal difficultyStability.
    • It was possible for minimumDifficulty to be zero, which would allow difficulty to be stuck at zero indefinitely, when this does not make sense.

Behavioral changes

  • BlockChain<T>.Append() now records a TxExecution for every single transaction in the appended Block<T>, whether a transaction is successful (TxSuccess is recorded for this case) or not (TxFailure is recorded for this case). [#1156, #1289]
  • ITransport.StartAsync() and ITransport.RunAsync() became to throw TransportException instead of SwarmException. [#1242]
  • NetMQTransport became to enforce NetMQ/AsyncIO to use its pure .NET implementation instead of Windows' IOCP when it is running on Mono, which powers Unity engine, since Unity does not properly implement the IOCP even on Windows. It had been done by Swarm<T>, but as the ITransport is now separated from it, this became done by NetMQTransport instead of Swarm<T>. [#247, #1278]
  • (Libplanet.RocksDBStore) RocksDBStore.ForkBlockIndexes() became to share common ancestors between forks rather than duplicating them so that much less space is used. [#1280, #1287]
  • BlockChain<T>.Append() cumulates indexes for pairs (TxId and BlockHash). A transaction inclusion for a block is retrievable by using this index. [#1315, #1329]
  • ActionEvaluator<T>.EvaluateActions() now throws an unmanaged exception if OutOfMemoryException is caught from IAction.Execute(). [#1320, #1343]

    • Transaction<T>.EvaluateActions() method became atomic.
    • Transaction<T>.EvaluateActionsGradually() method had returned the same number of ActionEvaluations to Transaction<T>.Actions, but now became to omit the evaluations after the first action throwing an exception. If no action throws any exception, it still returns the same number of ActionEvaluations to Transaction<T>.Actions.
    • State-wise, Transaction<T>s having any exception-throwing action now do not commit any changes at all to IStateStore.
    • Rendering-wise, for actions following the first exception-throwing action, action rendering methods in IActionRenderer<T> (RenderAction(), RenderActionError(), UnrenderAction(), and UnrenderActionError()) became not invoked. If you want to dismiss all actions in unsuccessful transactions at all, wrap your action renderer with AtomicActionRenderer<T>.

Backward-incompatible network protocol changes

  • Swarm<T> became no longer retry when Swarm<T> receives less than 500 blocks. [#1112]
  • The existing ChainStatus message type (with the type number 0x24) was replaced by a new ChainStatus message type (with the type number 0x25). [#1155, #1165]

  • Swarm<T> became to ignore messages made earlier than a certain amount of time, which is configured by SwarmOptions.MessageLifespan. [#1160, #1171]

Backward-incompatible storage format changes

  • (Libplanet.RocksDBStore) The blocks and transactions became stored in multiple databases. Each block and transaction belongs to a partition of the database, according to its epoch unit, which is its Unix timestamp. Every epoch is divided by certain seconds, configured by RocksDBStore() constructor's txEpochUnitSeconds and blockEpochUnitSeconds parameters (86,400 by default). [#1183, #1194]
  • (Libplanet.RocksDBStore) Continue on partitioning of database, RocksDBStore() is manage database connection by LRU Cache. The max size of connection cache is configured by RocksDBStore() constructor's dbConnectionCacheSize parameters (100 by default). [#1183, #1194]
  • (Libplanet.RockDBStore) The RocksDBStore that was previously used has been separated into a class called MonoRocksDBStore. Please use this class if you need to migrate. [#1183, #1204]

Behavioral changes

  • Upgraded Bencodex package (which is a dependency) so that Libplanet gets benefits from its recent optimizations. [#1081, #1084, #1086, #1101]
  • Introduced the protocol versioning scheme. This purposes to change the protocol without breaking backward compatibility. Even the protocol is changed, the existing blocks made before the new protocol are guaranteed to behave as it had done. [#1142, #1147, #1155 #1162, #1170, #1184]
  • Since BlockHeader.ProtocolVersion was added, the existing blocks are considered protocol compliant with the protocol version zero. [#1142, #1147, #1162]
  • When a BlockChain<T> follows VolatileStagePolicy<T>, which is Libplanet's the only built-in IStagePolicy<T> implementation at the moment, as its StagePolicy, its staged transactions are no longer persistent but volatile instead. It also automatically purges staged transactions after the given Lifetime, which is 3 hours by default. [#1130, #1131, #1136, #1186]
  • Swarm<T> became not to receive states from trusted peers. [#1061, #1102]
  • Swarm<T> became not to retry when block downloading. [#1062, #1102]
  • Improved performance of BlockChain<T>.MineBlock(). [#1116, #1124]
  • Improved performance of Block<T>.Deserialize(). [#1116]
  • Swarm<T> became not to fill states from trusted peers, because now states can be validated rather than trusted due to MPT. [#1117]
  • HashDigest<SHA256> became serializable. [#795, #1125]
  • Transaction<T>() constructors became not to validate itself. [#1149]
  • BlockChain<T>.Append() became to validate the given Block<T> before storing its StateRootHash. [#1172]
  • Blockchain<T> became not to stage transactions having nonce less than or equal to the nonce of the same signer's latest transaction in already mined blocks. [#1173, #1180, #1186]
  • Improved security of Message.Parse(). [#1161, #1181]
  • Improved performance of BlockChain<T>.Fork(). [#1198]
  • Swarm<T> became not to call KademliaProtocol.RebuildConnectionAsync() right after Swarm<T>.StartAsync(). If you called Swarm<T>.BootstrapAsync() before Swarm<T>.StartAsync(), peers in your table may not have you in their table right after Swarm<T>.StartAsync() (which was almost guaranteed before). [#1208]
  • Peers added during Swarm<T>.BootstrapAsync() before Swarm<T>.StartAsync() are now marked as stale so that Swarm<T>.RefreshTableAsync() will update. [#1215]
  • Following classes became to leave log messages with its class as logging context. [#1218]
    • TrieStateStore class
    • TurnClient class
    • ActionEvaluation class

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug where BlockChain<T>.MineBlock() was not automatically cancelled when the tip of the chain was changed occasionally. [#1141]
  • Fixed a bug where blocks with invalid PreEvaluationHash was considered as a valid block. [#1148, #1202]
  • Fixed a vulnerability of the IAccountStateDelta.TransferAsset()'s internal implementation that it had doubled recipient's balance when a sender and a recipient is the same. *Since this changes the protocol, for backward compatibility, the actions belonging to the existing block, which was mined before the protocol v1, are guaranteed to still behave as it had done. [#1152]
  • Fixed a bug where Block<T>.Evaluate() hadn't validate its hash. [#1168]
  • Fixed memory leak due to undisposed CancellationTokenSources. [#1182, #1212]
  • Fixed a bug where TurnClient hadn't released its relay connections after reconnecting. [#1185]

CLI tools

  • planet mpt diff command became to take 4 arguments (which was 3) so that it can compare state root hashes from two different KV stores. The existing commands like planet mpt diff STORE A B do not work anymore, and these should be instead like planet mpt diff STORE A STORE B. [#1129]
  • Store aliases used by planet mpt became to disallow names looking like URIs to disambiguate aliases from the literal store URIs. [#1129]
  • Added new subcommands planet mpt list and planet mpt query. [#1137]
  • planet mpt diff command became to print the differences between other state root hashes into stdout as JSON format. [#1138, #1191, #1233]

Version 0.10.3

Released on January 28, 2021.

  • BlockChain<T>.MineBlock() became to unstage transactions that have lower nonce than expected. [#1174]

Version 0.10.2

Released on November 25, 2020.

  • Fixed BlockChain<T>.Append() method's bug that it had accepted a Block<T> having more Transactions than the number specified by the IBlockPolicy<T>.MaxTransactionsPerBlock property. Now it throws InvalidBlockException instead for such case. [#1104]

Version 0.10.1

Released on November 24, 2020.

  • Transaction<T>.Id property became lazy-loaded and cached if it's once loaded. (It had been loaded when the object is instantiated.) [#1079, #1080]
  • The result bytes of Transaction<T>.Serialize() became cached under the hood. [[#1079, #1080]]
  • Fixed BlockChain<T>.MineBlock() method's bug which excludes one's all transactions virtually forever after a signer's transactions once have been staged without the ascending order of nonce (usually due to their inconsistent propagation latency on the network). [#1057, #1059]
  • BlockChain<T>.MineBlock() method became to cut off staged transactions to mine if it takes longer than 4 seconds to collect and validate them. Those rest staged transactions are postponed until next block mining. [#1057, #1059]
  • BlockChain<T>.ContainsBlock() method was optimized so that it does not needlessly load an entire block, but looks up only an index instead. [#1057, #1059]
  • BlockChain<T> became not to validate genesis block during fork, where the state store is not an implementation of IBlockStatesStore. [#1063]
  • Fixed a bug where Swarm<T>.GetPeerChainStateAsync() has thrown NullReferenceException when peers in table does failed to respond. [#1066]
  • Fixed a bug where BlockChain<T> had not locked readers–writer lock for state changes during MineBlock(). [#1077, #1087]
  • PolymorphicAction<T>.ToString() became more human-readable. [#1085, #1087]
  • Fixed a bug where MerkleTrie had had MrrkleTrie.EmptyRootHash as root node, which had been unable to insert new nodes. [#1087, #1091]

Version 0.10.0

Released on October 27, 2020.

Backward-incompatible API changes

  • Extracted rendering methods from IAction to IRenderer<T>, which is introduced in this version. From now on, rendering logic needs to be injected from outside through BlockChain<T>.Renderers, rather than IActions knowing how to render themselves. IRenderer<T> also unified BlockChain<T>.TipChanged event, and introduced new events like IActionRenderer<T>.RenderActionError(), IActionRenderer<T>.RenderBlockEnd(), IRenderer<T>.RenderReorg(), and IRenderer<T>.RenderReorgEnd(). [#860, #875, #959, #963]

    • TransferAsset(Address, Address, Currency, BigInteger) method
    • BurnAsset(Address, Currency, BigInteger) method
    • GetBalance(Address, Currency) method
  • Added IAccountStateDelta.StateUpdatedAddresses property in order to distinguish state updates from asset states. [#861, #900]
  • Added an optional parameter AccountBalanceGetter accountBalanceGetter to Block<T>.EvaluateActionsPerTx() method. [#861, #900]
  • BlockChain<T>.StageTransaction() became to throw InvalidTxGenesisHashException when it takes a Transaction<T> from a heterogeneous BlockChain<T> with a different genesis block. [#796, #878]
  • Added renderers optional parameter to BlockChain<T>() constructor. [#883, #959, #963]

  • DefaultCryptoBackend became to DefaultCryptoBackend<T>. [#932]
  • Added ImmutableArray<byte>-typed preEvaluationHash parameter to BlockHeader constructor. [#931, #935]
  • Added HashDigest<SHA256>-typed preEvaluationHash parameter to Block<T>() constructor. [#931, #935]
  • Replaced SerializationInfoExtensions.GetValueOrDefault<T>() to SerializationInfoExtensions.TryGetValue<T>(). [#940]
  • Added bool append = true option to both BlockChain<T>.MineBlock() overloaded methods. Although this breaks ABI-level backward compatibility (i.e., you need to rebuild your assemblies), still is backward-compatible at API-level as the option is turned on by default. [#946]

  • The hash of Block<T> has changed due to the change in the method of serialization. [#762]
  • Swarm<T> became to ignore broadcasted block that has lower index than the current tip. [#764]
  • The way Swarm<T> chose peers to spread messages has changed. [#765, #767]
    • If there are less than 10 peers in the routing table, select all peers.
    • If there are more than 10 peers in the routing table, choose one from each bucket, and if the number is less than 10, then select an additional peers so that the total is 10.

[#734]
  • Fixed a bug where the states became empty between the tip of the peer to receive the states and the tip of the downloaded block. [#736]
  • Fixed a bug where Swarm<T>.StartAsync() had thrown NullReferenceException when host parameter is present on the outside of NAT. [#744]

All staged transactions became broadcasted. [#319, #470]
    • BlockChain<T>.StageTransactions(IDictionary<Transaction<T>, bool>) method became replaced by StageTransactions(IImmutableSet<Transaction<T>>).

  • Swarm<T>'s internal GetRecentStates message became to take BlockLocator, an internal data type to approximates a path of a chain of blocks for heuristics to search a likely branchpoint, instead of HashDigest<SHA256>. [#465, #481]
  • NetMQ instances are now initialized at Swarm<T>.StartAsync() instead of Swarm<T>(). [#353]

If there are multiple transactions signed by the same signer in a block these transactions become grouped together and the order is determined by a Block<T>.Hash and a fingerprint derived from all these transactions, and transactions in each group (per signer) are ordered by Transaction<T>.Nonce. [#244, #355, #511, #520]
  • LiteDBStore() became to create the database in memory if the path parameter is null. [#521]

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug that Swarm<T> hadn't released its TURN related resources on Swarm<T>.StopAsync(). [#450]
  • Fixed a bug that IActionContext.Random had been possible to generated equivalent results between actions of different transactions in a Block<T>. [#519]

Version 0.5.2

Released on August 29, 2019.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug that Swarm<T>.PreloadAsync() method had thrown LiteException (or other exception depending on IStore), which indicates a state reference is duplicate, where trustedStateValidators is present and a miner tries to download precalculated states from a trusted peer. [#465, #474]
  • Fixed a bug tag Swarm<T>.StartAsync() sometimes had thrown an exception from IStore (e.g., NullReferenceException) during broadcasting transactions. [#352, #476]

Version 0.5.1

Released on August 28, 2019.

  • Fixed a bug that ArgumentNullException had been thrown when a blockchain, which consists of incomplete states (i.e., precalculated states downloaded from trusted peers), encounters a new branch so that reorg is made. [#454, #466]
  • Fixed a bug that unnecessarily received all blocks in multiple miner situations. [#457, #468]

Behavioral changes

  • BlockChain<T>.PreloadAsync() method became to omit rendering of IActions in the preloaded behind blocks. [#272, #343]
  • Swarm<T> became to have two more message types: GetRecentStates (0x0b) and RecentStates (0x0c). [#272, #343]
  • BlockChain<T>.MineBlock() and BlockChain<T>.GetNextTxNonce() methods became to ignore transactions that didn't follow Transaction<T>.Nonce sequentially and treat them as pendings. [#365]
  • BlockChain<T> became to evaluate IBlockPolicy<T>.BlockAction and set the state when a block is appended to the chain. [#319, #367]
  • BlockSet<T>.ContainsKey() and TransactionSet<T>.ContainsKey() methods became O(1) time complexity through omitting iteration and relying own retrieve implementations. [#390]
  • The way LiteDBStore stores state references became efficient, but the file-level backward compatibility was also broken. [#395, #398]
  • Swarm<T>.PreloadAsync() method became to report a block downloading progress with the total number of blocks to download in the entire batch, instead of the window size of a chunk (i.e., 500). [#396, #399]
  • Swarm<T>.PreloadAsync() became to get the first parameter, progress, which accepts IProgress<PreloadState>. [#397, #400]
  • BlockHashes messages became to contain one more higher hash. [#408, #445]
  • Swarm<T>.PreloadAsync() became safe from data corruption even if a preloading process suddenly gets shutdown. [#417]
  • FileStore and LiteDBStore became to guarantee atomicity of storing transactions. [#413]
  • IStore.PutTransaction<T>() became to do nothing when it takes the Transaction<T> more than once. [#413]
  • BlockChain<T>.Swap() became to omit common block finding when render is false. [#423]
  • PrivateKey(byte[]) constructor became to check validity. [#438]

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the LiteDBStore.IterateStagedTransactionIds() returns duplicated transaction ids. [#366]
  • Fixed a bug that NullReferenceException occurred when serializing default Address. [#369]
  • Removed unnecessary mutex in Swarm<T> to avoid continuous delays in peer registration in some situations. [#375]
  • Fixed a bug that TurnClient had thrown KeyNotFoundException and IOException on startup. [#377, #378]
  • Fixed a LiteDBStore bug that blocks or transactions had got corrupted sometimes. Instead, LiteDBStore.GetTransaction() became possible to return null even for already stored transactions, and for that case, a warning will be logged through Serilog. [#386, #387, LiteDB #1268]
  • Fixed a bug that NetworkStreamProxy.StartAsync() hadn't stopped properly when the connection had reset by a remote peer. [#414]
  • Fixed a bug that Swarm<T> had hung forever after a remote peer had disconnected while receiving. [#416]
  • Fixed a bug that Swarm<T>.PreloadAsync() had been processed even if there is no appropriate peer. [#418]
  • Fixed a bug that TURN-related tasks hadn't restarted automatically when an exception occurred. [#422]
  • Fixed a bug that TURN relay connection had disconnected when preloading took a long time. [#424]

Version 0.4.1

  • Swarm<T> does not implement ICollection<Peer> anymore. [#326]
  • Added IStore.DeleteNamespace() method. [#329]
  • Removed the id parameter from the BlockChain<T> constructor, and it became to automatically detect an appropriate BlockChain<T>.Id. [#279, #332]

Added interfaces

  • Added LiteDBStore backend that uses LiteDB under the hood. [#269]
  • All *Async() methods belonging to TurnClient class became to have cancellationToken option. [#287]

  • Previously, Swarm<T> had sent an empty GetTxs message when it receives an empty TxIds from peers, and it had made the network waste bandwidth for unnecessary messages. Swam<T> became to no more send such empty GetTxs. [#297]
  • BlockChain<T>.Swap() became to delete an index, tx nonces, and state references in the replaced chain. [#329]
  • Reduced the memory footprint of BlockChain<T>.FindBranchPoint() method under the circumstances that the height of the BlockChain<T> object is high. [#282, #299]

Bug fixes

Version 0.2.2

Released on April 12, 2019.

  • Fixed a bug that BlockChain<T>.GetStates() had returned slower than necessary for many addresses. [#189, #192]

Version 0.2.1

Released on April 7, 2019.

This version purposes to entirely replace 0.2.0, because a wrong .nupkg file was uploaded to 0.2.0 on NuGet Gallery. Note that 0.2.0 on NuGet Gallery was unlisted.

Version 0.2.0

Released on April 5, 2019.

  • PrivateKey.Decrypt() now throws an InvalidCiphertextException instead of returning null when cipherText is invalid. [#140]

  • Transaction<T>'s Sender–Recipient model was replaced by Signer–UpdatedAddresses model. Unlike cryptocurrencies, transactions in games are not necessarily a transfer of assets, so it is difficult to determine what type of assert is transferred or who will receives the asset. A more useful perspective is, like what kind of transformation is performed, or what states are changed. To be close to this perspective, we decided to get rid of Transaction<T>.Recipient (which is singular) and have Transaction<T>.UpdatedAddresses (which is plural) instead. As there is no more asset to transfer, the term Sender was also renamed to Signer, which fits more to the new perspective. [#121]

    • Renamed Transaction<T>.Sender, RawTransaction.Signer, and IActionContext.From properties to Signer. The corresponding parameter names on constructors and methods were also renamed too.
    • Old Transaction<T>.Make() factory method is replaced by new Transaction<T>.Create() factory method. The timestamp parameter became optional, and the new optional updatedAddresses parameter was added.
    • Removed IActionContext.To property.
    • Transaction<T>.Recipient and RawTransaction.Recipient properties were replaced by Transaction<T>.UpdatedAddresses and RawTransaction.UpdatedAddresses properties. The corresponding parameter names on constructors and methods were replaced too.
    • Since the schema of RawTransaction class was changed, the serialization format of transactions and blocks were also changed. It affects to the way to generate Transaction<T>.Signature, Transaction<T>.Id, and Block.Hash values as well.
    • Added InvalidTxUpdatedAddressesException exception class.
    • A nullary overload of Block<T>.Validate() method was gone so that the block validation API is always time-wise. Instead, Block<T>.Validate() method now has only one overload: Validate(DateTimeOffset, AccountStateGetter) returning IAccountStateDelta.
    • Block<T>.Validate() and BlockChain<T>.Validate() methods now can throw an InvalidTxUpdateAddressesException.

  • The Addresses IAction tries to update no more need to be manually coded using IAction.RequestStates() method. That method was removed at all, and updated Addresses became automatically determined (for the most cases) by track "dirties" on rehearsal mode. This mode dry-runs IActions with empty IActionContext.PreviousStates. [#121]

    • Added AccountStateGetter delegate to provide a read-only view to account states.
    • Added IAccountStateDelta interface to replace AddressStateMap. The interface purposes to provide a read-write view to account states with maintaining UpdatedAddresses (so-called "dirty"). [#98]
    • The type of IActionContext.PreviousStates property was changed from AddressStateMap to IAccountStateDelta.
    • Added IActionContext.Rehearsal property. [#131, #135]
    • Added UnexpectedlyTerminatedTxRehearsalException class. [#132, #136]
    • The return type of IAction.Execute() method was changed from AddressStateMap to IAccountStateDelta.
    • Removed IAction.RequestStates() method because there is no need for it and thus it is not used anymore.
    • Added Transaction<T>.EvaluateActions() method.
    • Added Block<T>.EvaluateActions() generator method.

  • The built-in subtype polymorphism of IAction and Transaction<T> was moved to a separated new PolymorphicAction<T> abstract class. Polymorphic actions now should be wrapped by PolymorphicAction<T>. For example, the following code:

    public abstract class AbstractAction : IAction { ... }

[ActionType("attack")]
public sealed class Attack : AbstractAction { ... }

[ActionType("sleep")]
public sealed class Sleep : AbstractAction { ... }

    var tx = Transaction<AbstractAction>.Create(
    ...,
    actions: new[] { new Attack(...), ... }
);

    should be changed to like:

    var tx = Transaction<PolymorphicAction<AbstractAction>>.Create(
    ...,
    actions: new[] {
        new PolymorphicAction<AbstractAction>(new Attack(...)),
        ...
    }
);

    It can be simpler by implicit casting:

    var tx = Transaction<PolymorphicAction<AbstractAction>>.Create(
    ...,
    actions: new PolymorphicAction<AbstractAction>[] { new Attack(...), }
);

    [#169]

    • The type parameter T of Transaction<T>, Block<T>, and BlockChain<T> became to require having a public parameterless constructor (i.e., new()) besides implementing IAction interface. This means an abstract class or an interface no more can be passed to T, but only a concrete class or a struct can be passed.

  • Fixed a bug that mutating a collection of IActions passed to constructors or factory methods of Transaction<T> had affected made instances as well. The type of Transaction<T>.Actions property was changed from IList<T> to IImmutableList<T>. The corresponding parameters on constructors and factory methods also were changed to take IEnumerable<T> instead of IList<T>.

  • Address and TxId are now serializable. [#99, #124 by Qria]

  • InvalidTxException and its subclasses became to have TxId property and the corresponding constructor parameter. This can be useful when multiple Transaction<T> objects are validated at once.

  • Added Address.Size constant, which is fixed to the Int32 20.

  • Fixed a bug that Block<T>.Validate() had not thrown InvalidTxException even if there is any integrity error on its Transactions.

  • Improved the write throughput of BlockChain<T> while polling BlockChain<T>.GetStates()

  • Swarm.AddPeersAsync() was fixed so that unreachable Peers are ignored. [#128]

  • Swarm became able to relay their connection via TURN (RFC 5766) to NAT traversal. To enable this, its constructor (Swarm()) takes the newly added IceServers as configuration.

  • Since we decided to depend on TURN (RFC 5766) and STUN (RFC 5389) to work around NAT so that Peer's endpoints don't have to be multiple, Peer.Urls was renamed to Peer.EndPoint and its type also was changed from IImmutableList<Uri> to DnsEndPoint. [#120, #123 by Yang Chun Ung, #126, #127, #165, #166]

  • Swarm became to ignore tip blocks of the same height (Index) that it already has and deal with only longer (higher) blocks.

  • Fixed a bug that occurred when Swarm was handling multiple responses at the same time.

  • Fixed a bug that the Swarm constructor had hanged in certain runtimes like Unity engine.

  • Removed AddressTransactionSet which handles handle Address to IEnumerable<TxId> indices, and the following methods in IStore:

    • IStore.IterateAddresses()
    • IStore.GetAddressTransactionIds()
    • IStore.AppendAddressTransactionId()
    • IStore.CountAddresses()

  • Added IStore.ListNamespaces() method.

  • IStore.CountBlocks() and IStore.CountTransactions() became to return long.

  • Block/tx-related methods in IStore and BaseIndex<T> no longer accepts @namespace parameter. It means that even if a forking occurs, the same block/tx files are shared.

  • Fixed a bug that made unnecessary fork when receiving blocks from other peer.

  • Action classes that implement IAction but lack ActionTypeAttribute became reported by PolymorphicAction<T> throwing MissingActionTypeException at runtime. [#28, #144, #169]

  • Turn into parameter in BlockPolicy's constructor to milliseconds. [#151]

  • BencodexFormatter became able to serialize BigInteger. [#159]

  • Made Swarm possible to configure its network appProtocolVersion and, to ignore peers if their version is different. [#167], [#170]

  • Added DifferentAppProtocolVersionException class. [#167, #170]

  • Added IActionContext.Miner property. [#173], [#174]

  • Renamed Block<T>.RewardBeneficiary to Block<T>.Miner. [#174]

  • Added BlockChain<T>.Blocks property. [#176]

  • Added BlockChain<T>.Transactions property. [#176]
