Release v0.27.0

v0.27.0 (2024-04-19)

Note:

• Filter v1 protocol and its REST-API access have been deprecated.
• A new field of the WakuMetadataRequest protobuf for shards was introduced. The old shards field (2) will be deprecated in 2 releases time
• CLI flags --requestRateLimit and --requestRatePeriod have been added for rate limiting configuration. Period is measured in seconds. Limits are measured per protocol per period of time. Over limit will result in TOO_MANY_REQUEST (429) response.

Release v0.26.0

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.

Release v0.25.0

v0.25.0

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
