Version 1.1.3 is available – go and grab it!

Bit late but still worth to mention that chia client 1.1.3. There has been a tons of things fixed in this version so it’s highly recommended to update. As usual just select your favorite OS version in the “Jump to” section.

Release notes

Added

• Significant speed improvements have been added to the Node during P2P operations. This is mostly a performance improvement to make sure there is plenty of overhead in Node for transaction processing. Smaller machines like the Pi 4 are strongly advised to update to this release before Monday 5/3/21 at 10AM PDT when transactions start.
• Significant syncing speed improvements have been added. However, there is a lot of low hanging fruit to continue to increase overall chain sync speed in subsequent releases.

Changed

• We now require node 12.x to build the GUI. Installers have been building using node 12.x for quite some time.
• Node will now farm while syncing.
• We changed chialisp singletons to take a puzzlehash as its origin. We also updated the DID wallet to use this.
• Transactions are now cached for 10 minutes in mempool to retry if there is a failure of a spending attempt.
• Thank you to @Chida82 who made the log rotation count fully configurable. Apologies to him for not initially being included here.
• Thank you to @fiveangle for making install.sh more resilient across python installations.
• Standard transactions now all have announcements.
• VDF verification during sync and normal operations are now cached to enhance node performance.
• Target peer count has been increased from 60 to 80 to increase the number of peer Nodes available to connect to. Outbound connections were lowered from 10 to 8.
• The streamables class has had significant performance improvements.
• If a proof of space lookup takes longer than 5 seconds we will now log an error at WARNING level.
• Allow configuration of the plot loading interval (default is 2 minutes) in config.yaml.
• CLI wallet UI was improved and shows syncing status of wallet.
• @martomi added logging of added coins back.
• Thank you to @aisk for additional type checking.
• @aisk added error checking in bech32m
• Chialisp programs now remained serialized in Node for better performance.
• Mempool is now set to be 50 times the single block size.
• Mitigate 1-3 mojo dust attacks.
• CLI now switches to EiB for netspace display as appropriate.

Fixed

• We fixed excess memory use when displaying plot logs in GUI. This was causing the GUI application to fail in many “fun” ways after plotting a lot of plots in parallel.
• Fixed plot update issues in the GUI.
• Long syncing will now correctly show “Syncing” around the application.
• Nonce collisions in request IDs is fixed.
• Some duplicate plots were not being caught and logged by harvester on loading.
• We have removed many places where Node was making duplicate requests of other nodes.
• Daemon now waits for services to end to attempt to avoid zombie processes.
• Node is less likely to lose sync due to state inconsistency.
• A large thank you to @sargonas for diagnosing why so many technical support questions were flooding GitHub issues, PRing a fix, and mass migrating issues to Discussions.
• Thanks to @jeolcho for fixing a bug in full_node_rpc_api.py.
• Thanks @antoniobg for a typo fix in keychain.py.
• Thanks to @altendky for catching a Copyright date error.
