v1.5.1-rc1

This is a release candidate for the upcoming 1.5.1 release of Lotus. Although the release is optional, miners are strongly advised to upgrade to this release to avoid submitting invalid PoSts on chain.

v1.5.0

This is a mandatory release of Lotus that introduces the fifth upgrade to the Filecoin network. The network upgrade occurs at height 550321, before which time all nodes must have updated to this release (or later). At this height, v3 specs-actors will take effect, which in turn implements the following two FIPs:

• FIP-0007 h/amt-v3 which improves the performance of the Filecoin HAMT and AMT.
• FIP-0010 off-chain Window PoSt Verification which reduces the gas consumption of SubmitWindowedPoSt messages significantly by optimistically accepting Window PoSt proofs without verification, and allowing them to be disputed later by off-chain verifiers.

Note that the integration of v3 actors was already completed in 1.4.2, this upgrade simply sets the epoch for the upgrade to occur.

Disputer

FIP-0010 introduces the ability to dispute bad Window PoSts. Node operators are encouraged to run the new Lotus disputer alongside their Lotus daemons. For more information, see the announcement here.

Changes

• #5341 Add a LOTUS_DISABLE_V3_ACTOR_MIGRATION envvar
  • Setting this envvar to 1 disables the v3 actor migration, should only be used in the event of a failed migration

v1.5.0-rc2

This is a release candidate for the upcoming mandatory 1.5.0 Lotus release, which will introduce network version 10 and specs-actors v3 at epoch 550321. The only change from v1.5.0-rc1 is that this connects to the calibration test network.

v1.5.0-rc1

This is a release candidate for the upcoming mandatory 1.5.0 Lotus release, which will introduce network version 10 and specs-actors v3 at epoch 550321.

v1.4.2

This is a large, and highly recommended, optional release with new features and improvements for lotus miner and deal-making UX. The release also integrates v3 specs-actors, which implements two FIPs:

• FIP-0007 h/amt-v3 which improves the performance of the Filecoin HAMT and AMT.
• FIP-0010 off-chain Window PoSt Verification which reduces the gas consumption of SubmitedWindowedPost messages significantly by optimistically accepting Window PoSt proofs without verification, and allowing them to be disputed later by off-chain verifiers.

Note that this release does NOT set an upgrade epoch for v3 actors to take effect. That will be done in the upcoming 1.5.0 release.
