Mainnet - v1.6.14
This is a stable release suitable for use on Mainnet Beta
Changes
- Expose validator RPC Pubsub subscription limit via CLI flag
- Harden loader instruction checks
- Add metrics for RPC Pubsub subscriptions and RPC health check
- Update validator requirements docs with networking guidance
NOTE: A CI bug resulted in the v1.6.14 Linux binaries being built against Ubuntu 20.04 instead of the usual 18.04. As a result they are not compatible with the default 18.04 libc. If your validator is still running 18.04 you have three options
- Build the release from source [1] (recommended)
- Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 (schedule it even if you don't for this upgrade)
- Switch to the focal HWE kernel, which will pull in libc 2.29
You will see an error similar to the following when launching the process if effected:
/home/solana/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin/solana-validator: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /home/solana/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin/solana-validator)
- Follow the first two steps in the README, then run
./scripts/cargo-install-all.sh --validator-only desired/output/path
EDIT: Build steps updated
