Mavericks v0.18.0

The focus of this release has been on third-party validator uptime and associated tooling ergonomics. A big thanks to the many people participating in the three Tour de SOL dry runs! Your feedback has been invaluable!

Major Features And Improvements

  • Overhauled networking layer to keep Turbine's UDP packets under MTU
  • Validator stakes now "warm up" and "cool down"
  • Enabled ledger state snapshots. Validators will now join a cluster almost immediately instead of needing to evaluate every transaction since genesis.
  • Improved command-line error messages. The shell wrappers are almost all gone!

Breaking Changes

  • solana-wallet command-line tool has been renamed to solana
  • Various command-line arguments to solana-validator have changed since v0.17
  • Various JSON RPC API methods have changed since v0.17

Known Issues

  • TPS report not available due to #5678
