Taraxa Weekly UPD — Week 48: New fixes to consensus and network configuration.
Taraxa public testnet has been running stable, with ~200,000 blocks generated so far. This week, we added advanced node syncing functionalities and fixed some bugs on the consensus side. On to the updates!
Consensus and PBFT.
- Implemented the executor for execution asynchronous with PBFT.
- Implemented an unexecuted PBFT queue in the PBFT chain data structure.
- Modified the PBFT syncing network progress relative to the new PBFT chain data structure.
- Failed several unit tests on PBFT manager and PBFT syncing, WIP on fixing this.
Node syncing.
- Added a node/DB/networking versioning with functionality to report errors if different node versions try to communicate over a network, or a new node DB version tries to read from an old DB format.
- Added a build git hash and build time that together with all the versions can be retrieved with RPC call get_node_version.
- WIP: adding the database rebuild/reindex functionality.
