Upgrade

Generator client

docker pull ghcr.io/shinzonetwork/shinzo-generator-client:v0.6.5.4-ethereum-mainnet

Host client

docker pull ghcr.io/shinzonetwork/shinzo-host-client:v0.6.5.4-ethereum-mainnet

πŸ’‘ Improvements

  • Generator Improved indexing and pruning performance to reduce chain lag and help Generators stay closer to the chain tip. (PR #333) (PR #335)
  • Generator Secondary indexes are now rebuilt correctly after importing data, improving data consistency after restores or migrations. (PR #338)
  • Generator Chain configuration has been generalized to improve support for different chain configurations. (PR #329)
  • GeneratorHost Health checks now actively probe DefraDB, providing a more accurate indication of client health. (PR #364) (PR #382)
  • GeneratorHost Registration no longer suggests addresses that are unreachable by other network participants. (PR #366) (PR #367)
  • Host Improved pruning behavior with cleaner shutdown handling and bounded pruning cycles. (PR #357) (PR #360)
  • Host Added a warning state to Host metrics for better operational visibility. (PR #370)
  • Host Fixed registration to preserve the forwarded Host port correctly. (PR #383)

⚠️ Generator Upgrade Note

Generator operators upgrading to v0.6.5.4-ethereum-mainnet need to reset their DefraDB data.

Back up your node identity key before removing the existing DefraDB directory. If the key is not preserved, you will need to register the Generator again.

# Back up the identity key
cp shinzo-data/defradb/keys/node-identity-key ./path/to/new/location

# Reset DefraDB
rm -rf shinzo-data/defradb

# Recreate the keys directory
mkdir -p shinzo-data/defradb/keys

# Restore the identity key
cp ./path/to/new/location/node-identity-key shinzo-data/defradb/keys/

Once the existing identity key has been restored, you can start the upgraded Generator without re-registering.

πŸ’‘ Improvements

  • Generator Improved block signing performance by signing batched blocks directly from collected CIDs instead of performing a read-back query. (PR #308)
  • Generator Fixed a hardcoded Shinzo Hub URL used during testnet deployments. (PR #313)
  • Host History pruning is now enabled by default. (PR #326)
  • Host Fixed a hardcoded Shinzo Hub URL in the health server. (PR #351)

🐳 Upgrade

Generator client

docker pull ghcr.io/shinzonetwork/shinzo-generator-client:v0.6.5.2-ethereum-mainnet

Host client

docker pull ghcr.io/shinzonetwork/shinzo-host-client:v0.6.5.2-ethereum-mainnet

πŸ’‘ Improvements

  • Generator Blocks are now signed only after all required block data has been received. (PR #293)
  • Generator Pruning now skips invalid or incomplete records instead of stopping the entire process. (PR #287)
  • HostGenerator Updated status pages to point to the correct hub. (PR #319) (PR #302)

  • Host Failed pruning jobs are now automatically retried instead of being discarded. (PR #316)
  • Host History pruning is now disabled by default. (PR #317)
  • Storage Improved pruning reliability when new data is written during concurrent writes.
  • Storage Large deletion operations are now processed in smaller batches for better stability.
  • Storage Deleting documents now also removes their associated index entries.
  • Storage Improved pruning performance by reducing unnecessary ownership scans.
