v2.7.1

Recommended Upgrade

This is an optional, but recommended upgrade. Due to a bug on getgovheight TX, there was an accidental deletion of attributes from the node index on block 1896000. This resulted in statistical information being reset entirely. This update fixes the stats again.

Impact on the older nodes:

• The consensus is still correct, and old nodes can continue to function, as is - if statistical info is not a concern.
• getburninfo information that's based on attributes will be reset. Eg: DFI payback
• listgovs => All of v0/live/economy/ information will reset and appear to have started from 0 from block 1896000.

Upgrade Notes

• If node is above block 1896000, an invalidation to a block before this and reconsideration back to the tip is required to fix the stats again. Otherwise, it will still continue to display incorrect information.
• Eg: After upgrade:
  • defi-cli invalidateblock c72d93b9897bbbebed505d8b23293fbcae5be5a767c6fbc4d67d25510d1b4066 followed by
  • defi-cli reconsiderblock c72d93b9897bbbebed505d8b23293fbcae5be5a767c6fbc4d67d25510d1b4066
    Will fix the stats information again.
• Fresh sync or any snapshots below 1896000 should work as expected without any intervention.
