# vspd 1.3.0
|
|
|
|
vspd v1.3.0 contains all development work completed since v1.2.0 (June 2023).
|
|
All commits included in this release can be viewed
|
|
[on GitHub](https://github.com/decred/vspd/compare/release-v1.2.0...release-v1.3.0).
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
vspd 1.3.0 must be built with go 1.20 or later, and requires:
|
|
|
|
- dcrd 1.8.0
|
|
- dcrwallet 1.8.0
|
|
|
|
When deploying vspd to production, always use release versions of all binaries.
|
|
Neither vspd nor its dependencies should be built from master when handling
|
|
mainnet tickets.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Upgrade Path
|
|
|
|
The upgrade path below includes vspd downtime, during which clients will not be
|
|
able to register new tickets, check their ticket status, or update their voting
|
|
preferences. Voting on tickets already registered with the VSP will not be
|
|
interrupted. You may wish to put up a temporary maintenance webpage or announce
|
|
downtime in public channels.
|
|
|
|
The upgrade path assumes dcrd and dcrwallet are already version 1.8.0.
|
|
|
|
1. Build vspd from the 1.3.0 release tag.
|
|
1. Stop vspd.
|
|
1. **Make a backup of the vspd database file in case rollback is required.**
|
|
1. Install new vspd binary and start it.
|
|
1. Check vspd log file for warnings or errors.
|
|
1. Log in to the admin webpage and check the VSP Status tab for any issues.
|
|
|
|
## Notable Changes
|
|
|
|
- Fee calculation now takes the new block reward subsidy split from the activation
|
|
of [DCP-0012](https://github.com/decred/dcps/blob/master/dcp-0012/dcp-0012.mediawiki)
|
|
into consideration. In practice, this means that VSPs will begin charging
|
|
marginally higher fees.
|
|
- vspd will now distinguish between tickets which are "missed" and tickets which
|
|
are "expired". Previously these tickets would be considered as a single set
|
|
labelled "expired". This is acheived using dcrd and
|
|
[Golomb-Coded Set filters](https://github.com/decred/dcrd/tree/master/gcs#gcs).
|
|
- vspd 1.3.0 will perform a **one-time update of every revoked ticket in the
|
|
database** the first time it is started. This may take a while for VSPs which
|
|
have been active for a long time or have a large number of revoked tickets.
|
|
- Expired and missed tickets added to `/vspinfo`. Revoked is now deprecated.
|
|
- Minor improvements to web UI:
|
|
- Homepage now displays expired and missed tickets instead of revoked tickets.
|
|
- Homepage only displays the current network if it is not running on mainnet.
|
|
- Admin page now displays decoded transactions in a human readable format
|
|
in addition to the raw bytes.
|
|
- Logging has been reviewed to reduce unnecessary verbosity and to make better
|
|
use of log levels. Scripts or monitoring solutions which parse logs may need
|
|
to be updated.
|
|
|
|
### Bug Fixes
|
|
|
|
- Disable spell checking on admin page input for ticket hash
|
|
([#397](https://github.com/decred/vspd/pull/397)).
|
|
- Duplicate transactions will no longer cause an error when calling
|
|
sendrawtransaction
|
|
([#398](https://github.com/decred/vspd/pull/398)).
|
|
- Calculate missed/expired/revoked ticket ratios as percentage of all tickets,
|
|
not just voted tickets
|
|
([#417](https://github.com/decred/vspd/pull/417)).
|
|
- Web server returns explicit errors intead of zero values when cache is not ready
|
|
([#440](https://github.com/decred/vspd/pull/440)).
