Octez version 24.2 has just been released!
v24.2 fixes two minor bugs in Octez node:
- It addresses an issue where the node can, in some scenarios, stop processing new blocks after a peer disconnects, hence being unable to follow the chain unless restarted.
- It also addresses a minor issue slowing down the shutdown process for users relying on external RPC servers. We thank Johann Tanzer (Tezos Commons) for his contribution to address this issue.
If you deploy Octez v24.1 (or earlier) infrastructure, and notice your octez-node to be falling behind, we recommend upgrading to v24.2 at your earliest convenience.
A full changelog and update instructions are available on the version 24 release notes.
The Git tag is octez-v24.2, and the corresponding commit hash is 12fefe61.
Updating Debian and Ubuntu packages using apt
As PGP keys have been rotated, users updating a pre-existing Debian or Ubuntu packages Octez deployment need to overwrite the previously installed octez.gpg key.
For example, in order to update to v24.2 from a pre-existing Ubuntu Noble deployment, a user should first update the keys with:
curl -s "https://packages.nomadic-labs.com/ubuntu/octez.asc" | \
sudo gpg --yes --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/octez.gpg
Then, one should be able to update as usual:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade octez-baker
Please see the dedicated entry on the Octez docs for complete install instructions for Ubuntu and Debian packages.
