The latest stable release version v0.16.0 is now available on GitHub for mainnet node operators to enhance their performance and efficiency. This release includes various optimizations such as parallel Muhash, parallel transaction input processing, and optimized header validation, all aimed at reducing CPU, storage, and RAM consumption. With Initial Block Download (IBD) times reportedly completing in as low as 15 minutes, this update promises improved node operation. Mainnet node operators need to take note of the database version upgrade introduced in this release, ensuring a smooth transition by following the necessary steps. It is strongly advised to upgrade to this version promptly, especially before the Crescendo hardfork version. For more information, visit the original article on Kaspa.org.
From Kaspa.org: Stable Release v0.16.0 is out!
Stable Release version v0.16.0 is now available at https://github.com/kaspanet/rusty-kaspa/releases/tag/v0.16.0
This release contains several optimizations that are expected to significantly improve performance and reduce CPU, storage and RAM consumption for mainnet node operators.
Some of the optimizations included are:
- Parallel Muhash
- Parallel transaction input processing
- Optimized header validation, reducing storage footprint which affects pruning as well
Initial Block Download (IBD) times have been observed to complete in as low as 15 minutes with these changes in place.
Important Note for Mainnet Node Operators
This is the first stable release that includes the database version upgrade introduced in #494. When you run this version with an existing datadir, you may be asked to upgrade your database version in CLI. To proceed, type y or yes and hit enter. Alternatively, you can run this version with a –yes flag to skip the interactive question.
This database upgrade is a one-way path, which means after updating your datadir to the new version, you won’t be able to go back to an earlier version.
It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to this version at your earliest convenience and definitely before the Crescendo hardfork version.
