Release v1.8.0

v1.8.0 - 2022-03-17

Summary

Provenance 1.8.0 is focused on improving the fee structures for transactions on the blockchain. While the Cosmos SDK has traditionally offered a generic fee structure focused on gas/resource utilization, the Provenance blockchain has found that certain transactions have additional long term costs and value beyond simple resources charges. This is the reason we are adding the new MsgFee module which allows governance based control of additional fee charges on certain message types.

NOTE: The second major change in the 1.8.0 release is part of the migration process which removes many orphaned state objects that were left in 1.7.x chains. This cleanup process will require a significant amount of time to perform during the green upgrade handler execution. The upgrade will print status messages showing the progress of this process.

Features

• Add check for authz grants when there are missing signatures in metadata transactions #516
• Add support for publishing Java and Kotlin Protobuf compiled sources to Maven Central #562
• Adds support for creating root name governance proposals from the cli #599
• Adding of the msg based fee module #354
• Upgrade provenance to 0.45 cosmos sdk release #607
• Upgrade wasmd to v0.22.0 Note: this removes dependency on provenance-io's wasmd fork #479
• Add support for Scope mutation via wasm Smart Contracts #531
• Increase governance deposit amount and add create proposal msg fee #632
• Allow attributes to be associated with scopes #631

Improvements

• Add bank and authz module query proto files required by grpcurl #482
• Fix typeos in marker log statements #502
• Set default coin type to network default #534
• Add logger to upgrade handler #507
• Allow markers to be created over existing accounts if they are not a marker and have a zero sequence #520
• Removed extraneous Metadata index deletes/rewrites #543
• Delete empty sessions when the last record is updated to a new session #480
• Refactor the migration to be faster and have more log output PR 586
• Capture all included protobufs into release zip file #556
• Add Protobuf support with buf.build #614
• Limit the maximum attribute value length to 1000 (down from 10,000 currently) in the green upgrade #616
• Add additional fees for specified operations in the green upgrade #616
  • provenance.name.v1.MsgBindNameRequest 10 hash (10,000,000,000 nhash)
  • provenance.marker.v1.MsgAddMarkerRequest 100 hash (100,000,000,000 nhash)
  • provenance.attribute.v1.MsgAddAttributeRequest 10 hash (10,000,000,000 nhash)
  • provenance.metadata.v1.MsgWriteScopeRequest 10 hash (10,000,000,000 nhash)
  • provenance.metadata.v1.MsgP8eMemorializeContractRequest 10 hash (10,000,000,000 nhash)
• Add integration tests for smart contracts #392
• Use provwasm release artifact for smart contract tests #731

Client Breaking

• Enforce a maximum gas limit on individual transactions so that at least 20 can fit in any given block. #681
  Previously transactions were only limited by their size in bytes as well as the overall gas limit on a given block.

  With this update transactions must be no more than 5% of the maximum amount of gas allowed per block when a gas limit
  per block is set (this restriction has no effect when a gas limit has not been set). The current limits on Provenance
  mainnet are 60,000,000 gas per block which will yield a maximum transaction size of 3,000,000 gas using this new AnteHandler
  restriction.

Bug Fixes

• When deleting a scope, require the same permissions as when updating it #473
• Allow manager to adjust grants on finalized markers #545
• Add migration to re-index the metadata indexes involving addresses #541
• Add migration to delete empty sessions #480
• Add Java distribution tag to workflow #624
• Add msgfees module to added store upgrades #640
• Use nhash for base denom in gov proposal upgrade #648
• Bump cosmowasm from v1.0.0-beta5 to v1.0.0-beta6 #655
• Fix maven publish release version number reference #650
• Add iterator as feature for wasm #658
• String "v" from Jar artifact version number #653
• Fix wasm contract migration failure to find contract history #662

This release contained a broken version of Cosmwasm (1.0.0-beta5) and should not be used.

Release v1.7.6

v1.7.6 - 2021-12-15

This release includes an updated Rosetta SDK (0.7.2) which resolves an issue with Coins created after genesis. Users that are not running a Rosetta server instance from proveanced do not need to upgrade to v1.7.6.

Improvements

• Upgrade Rosetta to v0.7.2 #560

Release v1.7.5

v1.7.5 - 2021-10-22

Improvements

v1.7.4 - 2021-10-12

Improvements

• Update github actions to always run required tests #508
• Update Cosmos SDK to 0.44.2 PR 527

NOTE: Cosmos SDK 0.44.2 includes an important security fix. Users of previous versions of 1.7.x should migrate to 1.7.4 immediately. No coordinated software upgrade is required, existing 1.7.x binaries can be stopped and replaced with this version.
