CHANGELOG

v0.37.2

June 14, 2023

Provides several minor bug fixes, as well as fixes for several low-severity security issues.

BUG FIXES

  • [state/kvindex] Querying event attributes that are bigger than int64 is now enabled. We are not supporting reading floats from the db into the indexer nor parsing them into BigFloats to not introduce breaking changes in minor releases. (#771)
  • [pubsub] Pubsub queries are now able to parse big integers (larger than int64). Very big floats are also properly parsed into very big integers instead of being truncated to int64. (#771)

IMPROVEMENTS

  • [rpc] Remove response data from response failure logs in order to prevent large quantities of log data from being produced (#654)

SECURITY FIXES

  • [rpc/jsonrpc/client] Low severity - Prevent RPC client credentials from being inadvertently dumped to logs (#787)
  • [cmd/cometbft/commands/debug/kill] Low severity - Fix unsafe int cast in debug kill command (#793)
  • [consensus] Low severity - Avoid recursive call after rename to (*PeerState).MarshalJSON (#863)
  • [mempool/clist_mempool] Low severity - Prevent a transaction from appearing twice in the mempool (#890: @otrack)

v0.37.1

April 26, 2023

This release fixes several bugs, and has had to introduce one small Go API-breaking change in the crypto/merkle package in order to address what could be a security issue for some users who directly and explicitly make use of that code.

BREAKING CHANGES

  • [crypto/merkle] Do not allow verification of Merkle Proofs against empty trees (nil root). Proof.ComputeRootHash now panics when it encounters an error, but Proof.Verify does not panic (#558)

BUG FIXES

  • [consensus] Unexpected error conditions in ApplyBlock are non-recoverable, so ignoring the error and carrying on is a bug. We replaced a return that disregarded the error by a panic. (#496)
  • [consensus] Rename (*PeerState).ToJSON to MarshalJSON to fix a logging data race (#524)
  • [light] Fixed an edge case where a light client would panic when attempting to query a node that (1) has started from a non-zero height and (2) does not yet have any data. The light client will now, correctly, not panic and keep the node in its list of providers in the same way it would if it queried a node starting from height zero that does not yet have data (#575)

IMPROVEMENTS

  • [jsonrpc/client] Improve the error message for client errors stemming from bad HTTP responses. (cometbft/cometbft#638)

v0.37.0

March 6, 2023

This is the first CometBFT release with ABCI 1.0, which introduces the PrepareProposal and ProcessProposal methods, with the aim of expanding the range of use cases that application developers can address. This is the first change to ABCI towards ABCI++, and the full range of ABCI++ functionality will only become available in the next major release with ABCI 2.0. See the specification for more details.

In the v0.34.27 release, the CometBFT Go module is still github.com/tendermint/tendermint to facilitate ease of upgrading for users, but in this release we have changed this to github.com/cometbft/cometbft.

Please also see our upgrading guidelines for more details on upgrading from the v0.34 release series.

Also see our QA results for the v0.37 release.

We'd love your feedback on this release! Please reach out to us via one of our communication channels, such as GitHub Discussions, with any of your questions, comments and/or concerns.

See below for more details.

BREAKING CHANGES

  • The TMHOME environment variable was renamed to CMTHOME, and all environment variables starting with TM_ are instead prefixed with CMT_ (#211)
  • [p2p] Reactor Send, TrySend and Receive renamed to SendEnvelope, TrySendEnvelope and ReceiveEnvelope to allow metrics to be appended to messages and measure bytes sent/received. (#230)
  • Bump minimum Go version to 1.20 (#385)
  • [abci] Make length delimiter encoding consistent (uint64) between ABCI and P2P wire-level protocols (#5783)
  • [abci] Change the key and value fields from []byte to string in the EventAttribute type. (#6403)
  • [abci/counter] Delete counter example app (#6684)
  • [abci] Renamed EvidenceType to MisbehaviorType and Evidence to Misbehavior as a more accurate label of their contents. (#8216)
  • [abci] Added cli commands for PrepareProposal and ProcessProposal. (#8656)
  • [abci] Added cli commands for PrepareProposal and ProcessProposal. (#8901)
  • [abci] Renamed LastCommitInfo to CommitInfo in preparation for vote extensions. (#9122)
  • Change spelling from British English to American. Rename Subscription.Cancelled() to Subscription.Canceled() in libs/pubsub (#9144)
  • [abci] Removes unused Response/Request SetOption from ABCI (#9145)
  • [config] Rename the fastsync section and the fast_sync key blocksync and block_sync respectively (#9259)
  • [types] Reduce the use of protobuf types in core logic. ConsensusParams, BlockParams, ValidatorParams, EvidenceParams, VersionParams have become native types. They still utilize protobuf when being sent over the wire or written to disk. Moved ValidateConsensusParams inside (now native type) ConsensusParams, and renamed it to ValidateBasic. (#9287)
  • [abci/params] Deduplicate ConsensusParams and BlockParams so only types proto definitions are use. Remove TimeIotaMs and use a hard-coded 1 millisecond value to ensure monotonically increasing block times. Rename AppVersion to App so as to not stutter. (#9287)
  • [abci] New ABCI methods PrepareProposal and ProcessProposal which give the app control over transactions proposed and allows for verification of proposed blocks. (#9301)

BUG FIXES

  • [consensus] Fixed a busy loop that happened when sending of a block part failed by sleeping in case of error. (#4)
  • [state/kvindexer] Fixed the default behaviour of the kvindexer to index and query attributes by events in which they occur. In 0.34.25 this was mitigated by a separated RPC flag. @jmalicevic (#77)
  • [state/kvindexer] Resolved crashes when event values contained slashes, introduced after adding event sequences in #77. @jmalicevic (#382)
  • [consensus] (#386) Short-term fix for the case when needProofBlock cannot find previous block meta by defaulting to the creation of a new proof block. (@adizere)
    • Special thanks to the Vega.xyz team, and in particular to Zohar (@ze97286), for reporting the problem and working with us to get to a fix.
  • [docker] enable cross platform build using docker buildx (#9073)
  • [consensus] fix round number of enterPropose when handling RoundStepNewRound timeout. (#9229)
  • [docker] ensure Docker image uses consistent version of Go (#9462)
  • [p2p] prevent peers who have errored from being added to peer_set (#9500)
  • [blocksync] handle the case when the sending queue is full: retry block request after a timeout (#9518)

FEATURES

  • [abci] New ABCI methods PrepareProposal and ProcessProposal which give the app control over transactions proposed and allows for verification of proposed blocks. (#9301)

IMPROVEMENTS

  • [e2e] Add functionality for uncoordinated (minor) upgrades (#56)
  • [tools/tm-signer-harness] Remove the folder as it is unused (#136)
  • [p2p] Reactor Send, TrySend and Receive renamed to SendEnvelope, TrySendEnvelope and ReceiveEnvelope to allow metrics to be appended to messages and measure bytes sent/received. (#230)
  • [abci] Added AbciVersion to RequestInfo allowing applications to check ABCI version when connecting to CometBFT. (#5706)
  • [cli] add --hard flag to rollback command (and a boolean to the RollbackState method). This will rollback state and remove the last block. This command can be triggered multiple times. The application must also rollback state to the same height. (#9171)
  • [crypto] Update to use btcec v2 and the latest btcutil. (#9250)
  • [rpc] Added header and header_by_hash queries to the RPC client (#9276)
  • [proto] Migrate from gogo/protobuf to cosmos/gogoproto (#9356)
  • [rpc] Enable caching of RPC responses (#9650)
  • [consensus] Save peer LastCommit correctly to achieve 50% reduction in gossiped precommits. (#9760)

CometBFT is a fork of Tendermint Core as of late December 2022.
