Overview of sprint 74
Dropping NonP2P network stack
We are advertising that we will drop the non-p2p network stack. This will happen after the next hard fork. Please comment on the PR if this will be problematic for you. Here's the PR: ouroboros-network#5007.
Node-to-Client versions
We dropped node-to-client versions earlier than version 16,
ouroboros-network#5002.
Mithril Design
We completed review how to adopt ouroboros-network for
Mithril design. We started to experiment with ouroboros-network in that
direction.
Next Cardano-Node release
The next cardano-node release will include the following changes from the
networking team:
Typed-Protocols
The integration of ouroboros-network-0.18, which is using the new
typed-protocols-0.3 with ouroboros-consensus, was merged,
ouroboros-consensus#1223. Integration with cardano-cli and cardano-api
was rebased and handed to the release engineer. Integration with ekg-forward
was merged: ekg-forward#35.
Genesis
The following changes to support Genesis (both creating big ledger peer snapshots & providing them in a topology file)
cardano-api: Added a new query for a snapshot of big ledger peerscardano-cli: Query a node for a snapshot of big ledger peerscardano-node: Support for big ledger peer snapshot in the topology file
Connection Manager
We merged the documentation review of the connection manager, ouroboros-network#5001. We also renamed connection manager methods (as suggested by Neil Davies ([PNSOL])): ouroboros-network#5000.
Outbound Governor
We started to experiment with using FRP to implement the outbound governor in a way that is both easier to maintain and reason about.
