Lotus changelog

1.10.0-rc4 / 2021-06-11

Note: If you are running a lotus miner, check out the doc here for new lotus miner configurations explanations of the new features!

This is the 4th release candidate for Lotus v1.10.0, an upcoming mandatory release of Lotus that will introduce Filecoin network v13. Included in the new network version are the following FIPs:

  • FIP-0008: Add miner batched sector pre-commit method
  • FIP-0011: Remove reward auction from reporting consensus faults
  • FIP-0012: DataCap Top up for FIL+ Client Addresses
  • FIP-0013: Add ProveCommitSectorAggregated method to reduce on-chain congestion
  • FIP-0015: Revert FIP-0009(Exempt Window PoSts from BaseFee burn)

This release candidate does not set the upgrade epochs for mainnet, but does set the upgrade epoch for the calibration network to 321519.

Note that this release is built on top of Lotus v1.9.0. Enterprising users can use the master branch of Lotus to get the latest functionality, including all changes in this release candidate.

A detailed changelog will be included in a later release candidate.

1.9.0 / 2021-05-17

Fixes

1.8.0 / 2021-04-05

This is a mandatory release of Lotus that upgrades the network to version 12, which introduces various performance improvements to the cron processing of the power actor. The network will upgrade at height 712320, which is 2021-04-29T06:00:00Z.

Changes

1.6.0 / 2021-04-05

This is a mandatory release of Lotus that upgrades the network to version 11, which implements FIP-0014. The network will upgrade at height 665280, which is 2021-04-12T22:00:00Z.

v1 sector extension CLI

This release also expands the lotus-miner sectors extend CLI, with a new option that automatically extends all extensible v1 sectors. The option can be run using lotus-miner sectors extend --v1-sectors.

  • The tolerance flag can be passed to indicate what durations aren't "worth" extending. It defaults to one week, which means that sectors whose current lifetime's are within one week of the maximum possible lifetime will not be extended.

  • The expiration-cutoff flag can be passed to skip sectors whose expiration is past a certain point from the current head. It defaults to infinity (no cutoff), but if, say, 28800 was specified, then only sectors expiring in the next 10 days would be extended (2880 epochs in 1 day).

Changes

1.5.3 / 2021-03-24

This is a patch release of Lotus that introduces small fixes to the Storage FSM.

Changes

1.5.2 / 2021-03-11

This is an hotfix release of Lotus that fixes a critical bug introduced in v1.5.1 in the miner windowPoSt logic. This upgrade is only affecting miner nodes.

Changes

1.5.1 / 2021-03-10

This is an optional release of Lotus that introduces an important fix to the WindowPoSt computation process. The change is to wait for some confidence before drawing beacon randomness for the proof. Without this, invalid proofs might be generated as the result of a null tipset.

Splitstore

This release also introduces the splitstore, a new optional blockstore that segregates the monolithic blockstore into cold and hot regions. The hot region contains objects from the last 4-5 finalities plus all reachable objects from two finalities away. All other objects are moved to the cold region using a compaction process that executes every finality, once 5 finalities have elapsed.

The splitstore allows us to separate the two regions quite effectively, using two separate badger blockstores. The separation means that the live working set is much smaller, which results in potentially significant performance improvements. In addition, it means that the coldstore can be moved to a separate (bigger, slower, cheaper) disk without loss of performance.

The design also allows us to use different implementations for the two blockstores; for example, an append-only blockstore could be used for coldstore and a faster memory mapped blockstore could be used for the hotstore (eg LMDB). We plan to experiment with these options in the future.

Once the splitstore has been enabled, the existing monolithic blockstore becomes the coldstore. On the first head change notification, the splitstore will warm up the hotstore by copying all reachable objects from the current tipset into the hotstore. All new writes go into the hotstore, with the splitstore tracking the write epoch. Once 5 finalities have elapsed, and every finality thereafter, the splitstore compacts by moving cold objects into the coldstore. There is also experimental support for garbage collection, whereby nunreachable objects are simply discarded.

To enable the splitstore, add the following to config.toml:

[Chainstore]
  EnableSplitstore = true

Highlights

Other highlights include:

  • Improved deal data handling - now multiple deals can be adding to sectors in parallel
  • Rewriten sector pledging - it now actually cares about max sealing sector limits
  • Better handling for sectors stuck in the RecoverDealIDs state
  • lotus-miner sectors extend command
  • Optional configurable storage path size limit
  • Config to disable owner/worker fallback from control addresses (useful when owner is a key on a hardware wallet)
  • A write log for node metadata, which can be restored as a backup when the metadata leveldb becomes corrupted (e.g. when you run out of disk space / system crashes in some bad way)

Changes

1.5.0 / 2021-02-23

This is a mandatory release of Lotus that introduces the fifth upgrade to the Filecoin network. The network upgrade occurs at height 550321, before which time all nodes must have updated to this release (or later). At this height, v3 specs-actors will take effect, which in turn implements the following two FIPs:

  • FIP-0007 h/amt-v3 which improves the performance of the Filecoin HAMT and AMT.
  • FIP-0010 off-chain Window PoSt Verification which reduces the gas consumption of SubmitWindowedPoSt messages significantly by optimistically accepting Window PoSt proofs without verification, and allowing them to be disputed later by off-chain verifiers.

Note that the integration of v3 actors was already completed in 1.4.2, this upgrade simply sets the epoch for the upgrade to occur.

Disputer

FIP-0010 introduces the ability to dispute bad Window PoSts. Node operators are encouraged to run the new Lotus disputer alongside their Lotus daemons. For more information, see the announcement here.

Changes

  • #5341 Add a LOTUS_DISABLE_V3_ACTOR_MIGRATION envvar
    • Setting this envvar to 1 disables the v3 actor migration, should only be used in the event of a failed migration

1.4.2 / 2021-02-17

This is a large, and highly recommended, optional release with new features and improvements for lotus miner and deal-making UX. The release also integrates v3 specs-actors, which implements two FIPs:

  • FIP-0007 h/amt-v3 which improves the performance of the Filecoin HAMT and AMT.
  • FIP-0010 off-chain Window PoSt Verification which reduces the gas consumption of SubmitWindowedPoSt messages significantly by optimistically accepting Window PoSt proofs without verification, and allowing them to be disputed later by off-chain verifiers.

Note that this release does NOT set an upgrade epoch for v3 actors to take effect. That will be done in the upcoming 1.5.0 release.

1.1.2 / 2020-10-24

This is a patch release of Lotus that builds on the fixes involving worker keys that was introduced in v1.1.1. Miners and node operators should update to this release as soon as possible in order to ensure their blocks are propagated and validated.

Changes

1.1.1 / 2020-10-24

This is a patch release of Lotus that addresses some issues caused by when miners change their worker keys. Miners and node operators should update to this release as soon as possible, especially any miner who has changed their worker key recently.

Changes

1.1.0 / 2020-10-20

This is a mandatory release that introduces the first post-liftoff upgrade to the Filecoin network. The changes that break consensus are an upgrade to specs-actors v2.2.0 at epoch 170000.

Changes

1.0.0 / 2020-10-19

It's 1.0.0! This is an optional release of Lotus that introduces some UX improvements to the 0.10 series.

This very small release is largely cosmetic, and intended to flag the code that the Filecoin mainnet was launched with.

API changes

  • StateMsgGasCost has been removed. The equivalent information can be gained by calling StateReplay.
  • A GasCost field has been added to the InvocResult type, meaning detailed gas costs will be returned when calling StateReplay, StateCompute, and StateCall.
  • The behaviour of StateReplay in response to an empty tipset key has been changed. Instead of simply using the heaviest tipset (which is almost guaranteed to be an unsuccessful replay), we search now search the chain for the tipset that included the message, and replay the message in that tipset (we fail if no such tipset is found).

Changes

0.10.2 / 2020-10-14

This is an optional release of Lotus that updates markets to 0.9.1, which fixes an issue affecting deals that were mid-transfer when the node was upgraded to 0.9.0. This release also includes some tweaks to default gas values and minor performance improvements.

Changes

0.10.1 / 2020-10-14

This is an optional release of Lotus that updates markets to 0.9.0, which adds the ability to restart data transfers. This release also introduces Ledger support, and various UX improvements.

Changes

0.10.0 / 2020-10-12

This is a consensus-breaking hotfix that addresses an issue in specs-actors v2.0.3 that made it impossible to pledge new 32GiB sectors. The change in Lotus is to update to actors v2.1.0, behind the new network version 5.

Changes

0.9.1 / 2020-10-10

This release fixes an issue which may cause the actors v2 migration to compute the state incorrectly when more than one migration is running in parallel.

Changes

0.9.0 / 2020-10-07

This consensus-breaking release of Lotus upgrades the actors version to v2.0.0. This requires migrating actor state from v0 to v2. The changes that break consensus are:

Hotfix release that fixes a panic in the sealing scheduler (https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/3389).

0.5.5

This patch release introduces a large number of improvements to the sealing process. It also updates go-fil-markets to version 0.5.8, and go-libp2p-pubsub to v0.3.5.

Downstream upgrades

Sector sealing

  • The following improvements were introduced in https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/3350.

    • Allow lotus-miner sectors remove to remove a sector in any state.
    • Create a separate state in the storage FSM dedicated to submitting the Commit message.
    • Recovery for when the Deal IDs of deals in a sector get changed in a reorg.
    • Auto-retry sending Precommit and Commit messages if they run out of gas
    • Auto-retry sector remove tasks when they fail
    • Compact worker windows, and allow their tasks to be executed in any order

  • Don't simply skip PoSt for bad sectors (https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/3323)

Message Pool

Chainwatch

0.5.4

A patch release, containing a few nice bugfixes and improvements:

  • Fix parsing of peer ID in lotus-miner actor set-peer-id (@whyrusleeping)
  • Update dependencies, fixing several bugs (@Stebalien)
  • Fix remaining linter warnings (@Stebalien)
  • Use safe string truncation (@Ingar)
  • Allow tweaking of blocksync message window size (@whyrusleeping)
  • Add some additional gas stats to metrics (@Kubuxu)
  • Fix an edge case bug in message selection, add many tests (@vyzo)

0.5.3

Yet another hotfix release. A lesson for readers, having people who have been awake for 12+ hours review your hotfix PR is not a good idea. Find someone who has enough slept recently enough to give you good code review, otherwise you'll end up quickly bumping versions again.

  • Fixed a bug in the mempool that was introduced in v0.5.2

0.5.2 / 2020-08-24

This is a hotfix release.

  • Fix message selection to not include messages that are invalid for block inclusion.
  • Improve SelectMessage handling of the case where the message pools tipset differs from our mining base.

0.5.1 / 2020-08-24

The Space Race release! This release contains the genesis car file and bootstrap peers for the space race network.

Additionally, we included two small fixes to genesis creation:

  • Randomize ticket value in genesis generation
  • Correctly set t099 (burnt funds actor) to have valid account actor state

0.5.0 / 2020-08-20

This version of Lotus will be used for the incentivized testnet Space Race competition, and can be considered mainnet-ready code. It includes some protocol changes, upgrades of core dependencies, and various bugfixes and UX/performance improvements.

Highlights

Among the highlights included in this release are:

  • Gas changes: We implemented EIP-1559 and introduced real gas values.
  • Deal-making: We now support "Committed Capacity" sectors, "fast-retrieval" deals, and the packing of multiple deals into a single sector.
  • Renamed features: We renamed some of the binaries, environment variables, and default paths associated with a Lotus node.

Gas changes

We made some significant changes to the mechanics of gas in this release.

Network fee

We implemented something similar to Ethereum's EIP-1559. The Message structure had three changes:

  • The GasPrice field has been removed
  • A new GasFeeCap field has been added, which controls the maximum cost the sender incurs for the message
  • A new GasPremium field has been added, which controls the reward a miner earns for including the message

A sender will never be charged more than GasFeeCap * GasLimit. A miner will typically earn GasPremium * GasLimit as a reward.

The Blockheader structure has one new field, called ParentBaseFee. Informally speaking,the ParentBaseFee is increased when blocks are densely packed with messages, and decreased otherwise.

The ParentBaseFee is used when calculating how much a sender burns when executing a message. Burning simply refers to sending attoFIL to a dedicated, unreachable account. A message causes ParentBaseFee * GasUsed attoFIL to be burnt.

Real gas values

This release also includes our first "real" gas costs for primitive operations. The costs were designed to account for both the time that message execution takes, as well as the space a message adds to the state tree.

Deal-making changes

There are three key changes to the deal-making process.

Committed Capacity sectors

Miners can now pledge "Committed Capacity" (CC) sectors, which are explicitly stated as containing junk data, and must not include any deals. Miners can do this to increase their storage power, and win block rewards from this pledged storage.

They can mark these sectors as "upgradable" with lotus-miner sectors mark-for-upgrade. If the miner receives and accepts one or more storage deals, the sector that includes those deals will replace the CC sector. This is intended to maximize the amount of useful storage on the Filecoin network.

Fast-retrieval deals

Clients can now include a fast-retrieval flag when proposing deals with storage miners. If set to true, the miner will include an extra copy of the deal data. This data can be quickly served in a retrieval deal, since it will not need to be unsealed.

Multiple deals per sector

Miners can now pack multiple deals into a single sector, so long as all the deals fit into the sector capacity. This should increase the packing efficiency of miners.

Renamed features

To improve the user experience, we updated several names to mainatin standard prefixing, and to better reflect the meaning of the features being referenced.

In particular, the Lotus miner binary is now called lotus-miner, the default path for miner data is now ~/.lotusminer, and the environment variable that sets the path for miner data is now $LOTUS_MINER_PATH. A full list of renamed features can be found here.
