Release v1.15.0

v1.15.0 - 2023-05-05

The Provenance Blockchain v1.15.0 release includes several new features, improvements and bug fixes.

Restricted markers can now be configured to allow transfers to accounts that have specified attributes. Such funds can be transferred using MsgSend. Restricted markers can also be configured to allow forced transfers.

The x/metadata module has been given added WASM support. Also, now, a specification can require multiple parties with the same role but different addresses. There is also a new, alternative method of party/role/signer validation available. Scopes that require party rollup can contain optional parties and the parties in its sessions must also be noted as owners in the scope. When records are written to such scopes, there must be a signing party for each role required by the specification.

The provenanced executable MUST be built using go v1.18 specifically. Building with go v1.19 or v1.20 will result in a state-incompatible executable.

Features

• Add support for tokens restricted marker sends with required attributes #1256
• Allow markers to be configured to allow forced transfers #1368.

  Official builds still have cleveldb support though.
• Expand the additional_bindings gRPC tag to use object form to allow for Typescript transpiling #1405.
• Add attribute cli command to query account addresses by attribute name #1451.
• Add removal of attributes from accounts on name deletion #1410.
• Enhance ability of smart contracts to use the metadata module #1280.

• Removed the AddMarkerProposal #1358.
  It is replaced by putting a MsgAddMarker (with the from_address of the gov module account), in a MsgSubmitProposal.

Release v1.13.1

v1.13.1

This is an in-place upgrade of v1.13.0. Upgrading to this version is recommended at your earliest convenience.

Provenance Blockchain has identified some issues with cleveldb as a backend. The issues involve improper closing of the database when the provenanced process is killed (e.g. by Cosmovisor). As such, please consider switching to goleveldb either with this upgrade or separately.

NOTE: provenanced configuration commands are sensitive to the --home flags and PIO_HOME environment variables of your node setup.

Recommended procedure for switching to goleveldb from cleveldb:

1. Make sure you're using cleveldb. This can be done using the provenanced config get db_backend command, or by checking your config.toml file. Only proceed with these instructions if you're using cleveldb.
2. Stop your node.
3. Make a backup of your data directory, e.g. $PIO_HOME/data.
4. Change the db_backend config value from cleveldb to goleveldb. This can be done using the provenanced config set db_backend goleveldb command, or by updating your config.toml directly.
5. Restart your node.

If your node fails to start, change the config back and restore your data directory from your backup.
Then please let us know (e.g. in Discord).
Please indicate your OS, and if possible your cleveldb library version.

Improvements

• Updated Cosmos-SDK to v0.46.6-pio-3 (from v0.46.6-pio-1) PR 1274.
