Changelog

[2.1.1] - 2023/09/27

Added

• Added an option --print-metadata to the command aptos move download to print out the metadata of the package to be downloaded.
  • Example: aptos move download --account 0x1 --package AptosFramework --url https://mainnet.aptoslabs.com/v1 --print-metadata

Updated

• The --with-faucet flag has been removed from aptos node run-local-testnet, we now run a faucet by default. To disable the faucet use the --no-faucet flag.
• Breaking change: When using aptos node run-local-testnet we now expose a transaction stream. Learn more about the transaction stream service here: https://aptos.dev/indexer/txn-stream/. Opt out of this with --no-txn-stream. This is marked as a breaking change since the CLI now uses a port (50051 by default) that it didn't used to. If you need this port, you can tell the CLI to use a different port with --txn-stream-port.

New features and enhancements

Aptos Blockchain

General

• Rust was upgraded to use the 1.71.1 toolchain version.

Storage

• To support [AIP-32] Storage Deletion Refund, the DB is now able to track the time stamp of a storage slot being created, and the amount paid for the slot allocation.

Networking

• Dedicated seed peers have been added to the default network configurations to allow new testnet and mainnet nodes to state sync more efficiently from genesis.

State sync

• State sync was updated to default to “intelligent syncing mode”, allowing nodes to synchronize more efficiently in the presence of network bandwidth constraints.
  Mempool

Aptos Frameworks

• [AIP-44] Module Event: Aptos Move now supports a new module-level event framework called Module Event targeting to replace the current instance event framework. Module event framework associates every event stream with a static struct type instead of an EventHandle.
  feature flag MODULE_EVENT will be enabled when appropriate.
• [AIP-32] Storage Deletion Refund: Now that AIP-17 has been implemented and deployed, storage allocation is charged on a per-slot basis and according to native currency based pricing without being affected by the gas price. On top of that, we keep a record of the amount paid for the allocation and refund it on deallocation.
• A Fee Statement is now emitted as a Module Event for each user transaction to reveal break down of the gas charge and the possible amount of storage deletion refund.
• [AIP-45] Safe burning for user-owned objects: Add a mechanism that allows users to unilaterally transfer any owned-object to a global burn address.
• [AIP-46] New Modules for ElGamal, Pedersen and Bulletproofs over Ristretto255: Adds new modules in the Move standard library for ElGamal ecryption, Pedersen commitments, and Bulletproof range proof verification, in addition to a few new natives for Ristretto255 elliptic curve operations.
  • Requires enabling feature flag BULLETPROOFS_ENABLED
• [AIP-48] Allow direct commission change vesting contract: allows the vesting contract owner to change the commission directly while keeping the same operator.

Move Language and VM

• [AIP-33]: Block Gas Limit: A new blockchain feature that can terminate block execution when the gas consumed by the committed prefix of transactions exceeds the block gas limit. This ensures that each block is executed within a predetermined limit of computational resources / time, thereby providing predictable latencies for latency-critical applications that involve even highly sequential and computationally heavy transactions.

What's Changed

• [cherry-pick] [Quorum Store] check digest match, and log sender if mismatch by @bchocho in https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/pull/9867

Fix an issue where unexpected network messages could cause large memory usage while logging.

• [aptos-release-v1.6] [consensus][dag] Truncate bytes when debug logging network message (#9872) by @ibalajiarun in https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/pull/9876

Update 20230829

Changelog

[2.1.0] - 2023/08/24

Updated

• Updated CLI source compilation to use rust toolchain version 1.71.1 (from 1.71.0).

Added

• Added basic ledger support for CLI
  • Example: aptos init --ledger to create a new profile from ledger. After this, you can use it the same way as other profiles.
  • Note: Ledger Nano s Plus or Ledger Nano X is highly recommended.

New features and enhancements

Aptos Blockchain

General

• The aptos-core repository dependency was upgraded to use rust version 1.70.0 from 1.66.1.

Storage

• AIP-38: The storage gas curves were deprecated, and IO gas prices were stabilized by decoupling the storage fee from gas pricing. This will remove fluctuations in gas pricing caused by an increase in global state storage.

Networking

• Performance: The networking stack has been updated to perform message deserialization in parallel. This helps to improve networking performance and latencies under high load.

State sync

• Configuration: The default configuration for mainnet nodes has been updated to use fast sync to account for the onset of data pruning on mainnet. New nodes can now be synchronized to the most recent state of mainnet without any manual configuration.

Mempool

• AIP-34 (Unit Gas Price Estimation): The unit gas price estimation API has been redesigned to provide clients with an estimate of the unit gas price they should use when the blockchain is overloaded. This ensures a transaction's execution within a reasonable amount of time.

Aptos Frameworks

• AIP-39 (Gas fee payer): The blockchain now supports adding an optional gas fee payer account to a transaction that will pay the transaction cost on behalf of the sender.
• AIP-28 (Partial voting for on-chain governance): Delegation stake pools can vote on a proposal with a portion of its voting power. Delegators in a delegation pool can use their voting power either to create proposals or to vote on them.
• AIP-36 (Aptos Unique Identifiers): Decouple unique identifier creation from account and object states. The new APIs allow for implicitly parallel creation of unique identifiers, and consequently, objects and tokens: generate_unique_address, object::create_object, and token::create_token.

Resolved Issues

• Fixed the gas cost for several cryptographic hash functions where the cost multiplier was missing.

What's Changed

• Fix indexer fullnode stuck issue: parse tables in resource groups https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/pull/9574

Full Changelog: https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/compare/aptos-node-v1.6.1...aptos-node-v1.6.2

What's Changed

• Fix indexer fullnode stuck issue: parse tables in resource groups

Full Changelog: https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/compare/aptos-node-v1.5.0...aptos-node-v1.5.3

• This is a proposal to add two new public functions added in https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/commit/78fb3739692a45235bd1b59ea7ed1a71fab00959 that make it easier for developers to grab the address of the collection and/or token created. This is an important addition to make developer experience better and in preparation for AIP-36 when the addresses of the tokens/collections created via aptos_token would no longer be predictable.
