Mainnet Beta Release 1.3.0beta4

The O(1) Labs team is proud to announce that results from the latest beta tests have been great, but we have even more improvements available in beta4! This 1.3.0beta4 includes all of the extensive improvements from beta1 as well as a fix for the longstanding bug with mina accounts unlock, support for many new platforms including Ubuntu 20.04, support for the same set of environment variables in mina.service and docker, and further optimizations for the async scheduler. Below is a summary of some of the more critical changes (more detailed documentation dating back to 1.2.2 coming soon).

If you run into any issues, please include Release: 1.3.0beta4 in the name of any issues you create. Please report any issues you encounter here or join the Discussion!

Bug Fixes:

• Fix account unlocking so that the password does not get rewritten when the key is unlocked #9720 fixed by#10190
• Remove verifier memory stats logging to save resources #10236
• Fix super catchup async loop to avoid busy waiting #10237

New Features:

• Simpler optimization for staged ledger diff application (and revert buggy PRs from alpha2) #10121
• This version supports both MINA_ environment variables and the old CODA_ prefix, but the 1.3.X will be the last releases to support CODA_. We recommend you take this opportunity to use MINA_ everywhere going forward (example: MINA_PRIVKEY_PASS, MINA_CLIENT_TRUSTLIST, etc.)
• New command mina advanced runtime-config and related runtimeConfig graphQL query for returning the configuration the daemon is using #8648
• Upgrade to Ocaml 4.11.2 #8898
• Upgrade to Rust 1.52.1 #9076
• Remove deprecated feature for swapping block producer keys at runtime to simplify daemon startup and fix demo mode #10139
• Housekeeping #10148 #10149 #10161
• Testing Improvements #10133 #10159 #10201 #10209 #10230
• Support for a variety of Ubuntu and Debian platforms, with docker images for each of them #10213 #10194:
  • Debian 9 Codename "stretch" (always supported)
  • Debian 10 Codename "buster" (supported since 1.3.0alpha1)
  • Debian 11 Codename "bullseye" NEW
  • Ubuntu 18.04 Codename "bionic" (originally shared with stretch, now fully supported)
  • Ubuntu 20.04 Codename "focal" NEW
  • To use the appropriate package for your platform:
    • First uninstall mina-mainnet: sudo apt-get remove mina-mainnet
    • Then determine your release codename from the list above or by running lsb_release -cs
    • Use this name instead of stretch in the debian instructions below
• New --node-status-url, --node-error-url, and --contact-info parameters to enable pushing node status and crash logs to a backend url. The contact info parameter is optional but allows you to provide discord or email contact in case we need further information about a crash. #9980
  • The first version of the backend is up for testing at https://us-central1-o1labs-192920.cloudfunctions.net/node-error-collection
• Support $PEER_LIST_URL, $LOG_LEVEL, $FILE_LOG_LEVEL, and a new flag $VERBOSE in the dockerfile entrypoint #10242

Archive Node:

• New archive node schema for optimized balance queries #9859

Rosetta Support:

• New docker image mina-rosetta-ubuntu which includes the mina daemon, mina-archive, and mina-rosetta along with entrypoint scripts to fill the archive database with blocks back to genesis and start all 3 daemons in tandem.
• Rosetta work has been ongoing for some time, and it has taken 26 pull requests to get all of the features supported and the kinks ironed out, but we are happy with the result. See the README for more about working with mina-rosetta.
• Those 26 PRs: #9797 #9802 #9811 #9839 #9841 #9848 #9859 #9871 #9880 #9881 #9884 #9890 #9896 #9899 #9904 #9908 #9911 #9885 #9954 #9967 #9969 #9965 #10019 #10044 #9932 #10104

Complete Changelog since 1.2.2:

The change set is far too large for github to display, but the github comparison still shows the immense scale of 1.3.0 and why we are so excited to get it out into your hands to test.
