v1.13.0

Lotus v1.13.0 is a highly recommended feature release for all lotus users(i.e: storage providers, data brokers, application developers and so on) that supports the upcoming Network v14 Chocolate upgrade.
This feature release includes the latest functionalities and improvements, like data transfer rate-limiting for both storage and retrieval deals, proof v10 with CUDA support, etc. You can find more details in the Changelog below.

Note: If you have any questions with regarding to the Network v14 Chocolate Upgrade and this release, leave a comment here!

Highlights

• Enable separate storage and retrieval transfer limits (filecoin-project/lotus#7405)
  • SimultaneousTransfer is now replaced by SimultaneousTransfersForStorage and SimultaneousTransfersForRetrieval, where users may set the amount of ongoing data transfer for storage and retrieval deals in parallel separately. The default value for both is set to 20.
  • If you are using the lotus client, these two configuration variables are under the Client section in ./lotus/config.toml.
  • If you are a service provider, these two configuration variables should be set under the Dealmaking section in /.lotusminer/config.toml.
• Update proofs to v10.0.0 (filecoin-project/lotus#7420)
  • This version supports CUDA. To enable CUDA instead of openCL, build lotus with FFI_USE_CUDA=1 FFI_BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=1 ....
  • You can find additional Nvidia driver installation instructions written by MinerX fellows here and perf improvements result on PC2/C2/WindowPoSt computation on different profiles here, most people observe a 30-50% decrease in computation time.

New Features

• Feat/datamodel selector retrieval (filecoin-project/lotus#6393)
  • This introduces a new RetrievalOrder-struct field and a CLI option that takes a string representation as understood by https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/ipld/go-ipld-selector-text-lite#SelectorSpecFromPath. This allows for partial retrieval of any sub-DAG of a deal provided the user knows the exact low-level shape of the deal contents.
    • For example, to retrieve the first entry of a UnixFS directory by executing, run lotus client retrieve --miner f0XXXXX --datamodel-path-selector 'Links/0/Hash' bafyROOTCID ~/output
• Expose storage stats on the metrics endpoint (filecoin-project/lotus#7418)
• feat: Catch panic to generate report and reraise (filecoin-project/lotus#7341)
  • Set LOTUS_PANIC_REPORT_PATH and LOTUS_PANIC_JOURNAL_LOOKBACK to get reports generated when a panic occurs on your daemon miner or workers.
• Add envconfig docs to the config (filecoin-project/lotus#7412)
  • You can now find supported env vars in default-lotus-miner-config.toml.
• lotus shed: fr32 utils (filecoin-project/lotus#7355)
• Miner CLI: Allow trying to change owners of any miner actor (filecoin-project/lotus#7328)
• Add --unproven flag to the sectors list command (filecoin-project/lotus#7308)

Improvements

• check for deal start epoch on SectorAddPieceToAny (filecoin-project/lotus#7407)
• Verify Voucher locks in VoucherValidUnlocked (filecoin-project/lotus#5609)
• Add more info to miner allinfo command (filecoin-project/lotus#7384)
• add lotus-miner storage-deals list --format=json with transfers (filecoin-project/lotus#7312)

• GetCurrentDealInfo err: handle correctly err case (filecoin-project/lotus#7346)
• fix: Enforce verification key integrity check regardless of TRUST_PARAMS=1 (filecoin-project/lotus#7327)

• Prep retrieval for selectors: no functional changes (filecoin-project/lotus#7306)
• Seed: improve helptext (filecoin-project/lotus#7304)
• Mempool: reduce size of sigValCache (filecoin-project/lotus#7305)
