The Zcash Basis is happy to announce the discharge of Zebra 1.8.0. This launch contains the next modifications and enhancements.
Given that the majority wallets have now carried out help for the charges outlined in ZIP-317, now we have set a default unpaid actions restrict of 0 in Zebra, dropping transactions with any unpaid actions from the mempool and excluding them when deciding on transactions from the mempool throughout block template building.
Different modifications to maintain function parity with zcashd embody a change to the end-of-support (EOS) time interval again to 16 weeks and an replace to the RPC serialization of empty treestates to additionally match zcashd.
As a part of the work to deprecate zcashd, now we have been working with ECC to exchange the built-in zcashd pockets with a Zebra backed various. In an effort to do that in a protected method we’re implementing a new structure that separates the performance for scanning for shielded transactions from Zebra. As such, the zebrad binary now not comprises this and it additionally implies that zebrad will now not have the power to retailer registered viewing keys for customers.
With this launch now we have additionally enhanced help for customized Testnets and Regtest by permitting extra parameters to be configured for customized testnets, in addition to an NU5 activation peak on Regtest. In an effort to help block creation, now we have restored elements of the experimental internal-miner function to be used on Regtest and added help for setting up Cover proposal blocks from block templates. Particulars on the right way to use these new customized testnets options are documented within the Zebra e-book.
In an effort to enhance the maintainability of future variations of Zebra, we’re utilizing a new zcash_script callback API in zebra-script. This may enable Zebra’s ECC dependencies to be upgraded independently of zcash_script and zcashd sooner or later.
Lastly, we’re happy to announce that now we have as soon as once more included Home windows in our Tier 2 platform help. You’ll be able to see a full copy of all the included modifications within the v1.8.0 Launch Notes on GitHub.
