Octez version 24.0 has just been released!
Octez v24.0 includes the following changes:
Tallinn Protocol support. Version 24 is compatible with all protocols that depend on a protocol environment version up to V15. That includes the Tallinn protocol proposal that is currently undergoing the governance process.
Protocol independent executables. Version 24 starts the deprecation process for protocol-dependent baker and accuser executables, and they will be removed in v25.
Bakers should consider adopting the new protocol-independent baker and accuser executables introduced in version 23 right away. The new binaries allow for a smoother baking UX, as they are capable of operating with any supported protocol, and can work seamlessly across protocol upgrades.
New Releases page. A new Octez Releases website is now available at Octez releases. It replaces the Gitlab Releases page, which is now deprecated.
This new Releases page centralizes release information for the different Octez components developed on the tezos/tezos Gitlab repository: Octez, Grafazos, Teztale.
Moreover, it provides predictable links to assets (for instance, https://octez.tezos.com/releases/octez-v24.0/binaries/x86_64/octez-v24.0.tar.gz), a machine-readable releases summary file, and an RSS feed.
Note on Debian packages. For Debian packages in this release: (1) purge does not remove the node data-dir, and (2) in the new systemd services shipped by the packages, the node RPC is not enabled by default (existing services are unchanged). We’ll improve the packages over the coming weeks.
Full changelog and update instructions are available in the version 24 release notes.
The Git tag is octez-v24.0 and the corresponding commit hash is 5a3ca147.
