Octez v21.0~rc3 has been published!
This new candidate for Octez v21.0 includes the Qena protocol upgrade proposal, currently subject to Tezos on-chain governance process, and its associated executables.
Note that Octez v21.0 will perform a user activated protocol override to use PtQenaB1PqFEfTe2og7bZTaPvMw2CxRyDFEwWNj3GiWp9ba4bJd instead of PsqenaVwjhUUm1JJXbrZTB1T5RVyQHBGDricbLPXjcZkxogDeTJ (Qena’s hash in the on-chain governance process).
There are no changes in protocol content or business logic between the version of Qena evaluated in the Proposal period and the one included in v21.0~rc3. The new hash is motivated by the need to provide a new, unique, internal identifier for the Qena protocol and other minor maintenance required to support it in Octez.
v21.0~rc3 includes fixes and improvements for the Octez DAL node, notably addressing a memory leak in the DAL node and connectivity issues.
If this candidate version proves to be stable it will be released as Octez v21.0.
We invite you to test Octez v21.0~rc3 on the different testnets, such as Ghostnet, Parisnet, or Qenanet.
A full changelog and update instructions are available in the version 21 release page.
The Git tag for this release is octez-v21.0-rc3 and the corresponding commit hash is 470f2ea3.
