v0.5.2

This new release of the aleph.im Core Channel Node application significantly improves the performance of the nodes, allowing them to scale the ever increasing usage of the network.

Key Highlights of the Release:

1. Event-Based Processing: A major shift in this update is the transition to event-based processing for both transactions (TX) and message handling. This change is pivotal in optimizing the flow and handling of information within the network, ensuring more responsive and reliable operations.

2. Asynchronous Garbage Collector: The deletion of temporary files and files deleted by FORGET messages is now asynchronous and does not block other processes anymore.

3. New Metrics API endpoint for CRN & CNN: Obtain the metrics of a specific node using /api/v0/core/{node_id}/metrics or /api/v0/compute/{node_id}/metrics from the API of a Core Channel Node.

v0.5.2-rc1

This release tackles several latency issues in the message processing pipeline. It improves the latency of the message and tx processing pipeline when processing new messages/txs after being idle. It also makes the garbage collection process asynchronous as deleting large files in the pipeline directly caused severe latency issues.

Breaking changes

• Files are now given a grace period after being forgotten, 24 hours by default.
