Overview of sprints 86, 87 and 88
CIP#155
We authored CIP#155 entitled SRV Registry. This CIP sets up rules for how decentralised protocols, like Cardano, Mithril, and Hydra, can utilise SRV records. If you're an SPO or a contributor to a decentralised protocol which relies on ledger peers, it will be interesting for you.
We recently started working on making the ouroboros-network to be compliant with the proposed CIP#155.
cardano-diffusion
We added the ouroboros-network:cardano-diffusion sublibrary, which contains
Cardano specific instantiation of ouroboros-network diffusion. This is
part of the effort to make ouroboros-network a multipurpose library. See
PR#5082.
Mux changes
We made the egress poll configurable; see PR#5113. This option will be available
in cardano-node-10.5 as EgressPollInterval.
Documentation improvements
We reviewed and improved network specification; see PR#5122. The changes include:
- timeouts & limits documentation improvements
- ingress buffer size limits
- documented format of Windows named pipes
- tx-submission mini-protocol direction explained
- added links to codec's haddocks
- explained how nodes behind NATs can contribute to the network
- various other improvements
Releases
We released ouroboros-network-0.21 and ouroboros-network-0.21.1.
We are also pleased to announce that we released typed-protocols-0.1.0.0 on
Hackage, as well as
io-classes-1.8.0.0
