Summary

v1.14.1 is the first maintenance release after the latest release v1.14.0. It comes with enhancements across various components such as blockdao, staking, API. Also, ioctl commandline tool has a fresh upgrade that supports two new powerful functions: ioID and w3bstream. The ioID function enables seamless integration and management of decentralized identities on the IoTeX blockchain. The w3bstream functions allows for efficient management of w3bstream project on the chain, from project creation, device registration, to message operation and prover management.

Bug Fix and Performance Improvements:

  1. bumped go version to 1.21
  2. Resolved an issue where the blockdao process could become unresponsive while checking the indexer. This fix ensures that the node process can receive the break signal and exit if needed.
  3. Fixed an issue where the response ID type in the JSON-RPC API did not match the request type. This ensures consistency and reliability in web3js API.
  4. Enhanced the deserialization process when retrieving block receipts, resulting in faster access and improved overall performance of the blockdao component.
  5. Fixed wrong cache for API readState at tip height, now the cache always returns most accurate and latest result.

New Features and Enhancements

  1. Added endorsement details to the bucket fetch APIs, providing more comprehensive information for stakeholders and improving transparency within the staking process.
  2. Implemented rate limiting for the WebSocket API to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage. This enhancement protects the network from potential overload and improves service stability.
  3. Enabled the ToEthTx function for grantReward action, allowing it to be processed as an Ethereum-compatible transaction. This improvement facilitates interoperability and expands the utility of the IoTeX blockchain.
  4. Added 2 new commands ioid and ws to ioctl commandline tool. Enables the ioID management and w3bstream project functions.

Upgrade Priority

v1.14.1 does not have a hardfork, but contains several bug fixes, performance improvements, and new feature enhancements. All delegate nodes and API nodes are recommended to upgrade to v1.14.1 in order to provide the best up-to-date service

Node type Action
Delegate Recommended
Fullnode Not required
