v0.6.5 Kord

Beta.1 Patch.4 Release

This release contains the next portion of networking performance improvements which are intended to stabilize the network, especially when it comes to underlying market broadcasts and payment-related requests.

^{This release is a tribute to recently died Kazimierz Kord Polish conductor, and former long-term Music Director of Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.}

Full Changelog:

Net Service

• #1291 Added metrics to get track how often network reconnects happen and for how long it is broken

Others

• #1243 fix for yagna version reporting within logs

Compatibility

This version is backward compatible with yagna v0.6.0 which means nodes with versions 0.6.0 through 0.6.5 can cooperate to form a single Golem Network.

v0.6.4 Edmund Gettier

Beta.1 Patch.3 Release

This release contains mainly performance improvements related to networking and broadcasting because we are observing a significant increase in the number of nodes joining the Golem Network. Yay! We are glad to see things going in that direction.

^{This release is a tribute to recently died Edmund Gettier best known for his short 1963 article "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?" aka Gettier problem.}

Full Changelog:

GSB (Golem Service Bus)

v0.6.2 Zagajewski Armstrong

Beta.1 Patch Release

After the Beta.1 release, we saw the yagna network falling into unresponsive state from time to time.
We took out our blasters flappers and went hunting for bugs within our low-level GSB protocol.
At the same time we reworked our local data persistance layer -- fare well r2d2] database is locked!

Some of our most active users were asking for prolongation of default maximum Agreement duration,
so here it is: we increased it from 30 mins to 3h.

We strongly encourage upgrading from v0.6.1 to v0.6.2 to fix previous daemon instability issues

^{This release is a tribute to recenlty died Adam Zagajewski and to famous Neil Armstrong, to paraphrase him:
That's one small step for the provider, one giant leap for the network's functionality.}

Full Changelog:

GSB (Golem Service Bus)

• #1156 Use fixed ya-service-bus v0.4.3

Provider

• #1108 Agreement termination when there is no activity created within arbirtrary timeout
• #1117 Agreement idle timeout made configurable with default of 90 sec.
• #1166 Increase default maximum agreement expiration from 30 sec to 90 sec.

Local Persistance Service (SQLite)

• #1082 Get rid of "Database is locked" during normal operation

Market Service

• #1020 Added timeout (3sec) for getting offer details over GSB, to not block broadcast handling

Payment Service

• #1158 added trace logs to hunt down 504 Gateway Timeout when accepting Invoices & Debit Notes.

Version Service

• #1155 wrap self_update calls tu use tokio thread where blocking is acceptable

Goth (Golem Test Harness)

Others

• #1139 Filter only v[0-9]* and pre-rel-[0-9]* git tags when determining compile time version
• #1166 Make time gray in logs

Compatibility

This version is backward compatible with yagna v0.6.0 which means nodes with versions 0.6.0, 0.6.1 and 0.6.2 can cooperate to form a single Golem Network but we highly encourage you to upgrade to the v0.6.2 as v0.6.1 is causing instability.

API Library Compatibility

v0.6.1 Grace Hopper

Golem's New Implementation First Public Beta

Three weeks ago we created the final Alpha stage release for the new implementation of Golem (Yagna). It was already capable to operate using the Ethereum mainnet through both: plain ERC-20 token transfers and Layer 2 ZkSync.

Now Golem enters the Beta phase, which is a hardened and polished version of the above.
While it still lacks P2P support, verification mechanisms and low-level protocol encryption and signing, it has all other features that we wanted to achieve as the MVP for the Golem:

• Decentralised market implementation
• Computational environments: VM and WASI
• Support for per task and per-usage pricing schemes
• Payments with GLM (L1 and L2)

(See README for the full list).

We're excited to see this Beta release in action and to hear from anyone joining the network to give us feedback.
Not only that, soon you can benefit from breaking our tools, as we are re-starting our bug bounty program. So we encourage you to try and break something.

Have fun!

v0.6.0 Tytus, Romek & A'Tomek

Hello Mainnet

With this release, New Golem users are able to use real GLMs for payments.

Event API

We have also seriously reworked our REST APIs by unifying Event-related calls across all of them (Market API, Activity API, and Payment API), which is called internally "Event API".

Longer tasks via Debit Notes "keep alive"

Providers and Requestors are able to negotiate and conclude long-lasting Agreements for long-running tasks/activities. This requires the Requestor to continuously accept Debit Notes issued by the Provider (aka "keep alive").

This release is a tribute to recently died "Papcio Chmiel" - the author of Tytus, Romek & A'Tomek.

v0.5.0 Golem: Layer 2 Payments. Public Devnet.

With this release, we are excited to share zkSync L2 Payment Driver support.
The default payment method is now "GLM on zkSync" with fee's paid in GLM.

• Providers will support both L1 ( GLM on Ethereum ) and L2 ( GLM on zkSync ) out of the box.
• Requestors yagna payment init -r will now use zkSync as default payment method
• Faucet will deposit funds on zksync directly, no need to wait for ETH, making faucet requests much faster.
• This is the minimum viable implementation of zkSync: We only support transfers, not yet deposit and withdrawal.

Existing L1 on-chain Payment Driver is also available to be used as a fallback or simply by the user's choice. Just restart yagna service and run payment init -r --driver=ngnt ( NOTE: we will rename this next release to GLM )

Another cool payments-related feature is the ability to use your existing (eg. MetaMask) wallet address to receive tokens being Golemr Provider (#826).
