We released a new version v1.1-beta. Version 1.1 is a major release that introduced web GUI dashboard, new crypto puzzle mechanism, new txn type, and a lot performance optimization. Feature highlights:

  • Add a web-based GUI dashboard that can be used to show node status and change configurations. By default the dashboard can be accessed from browser athttp://127.0.0.1:30000 . Note: in order to build the dashboard from source, you need to have Node.js (v10 or higher) and yarn installed. But you don’t need them if you download the release version.
  • Reduce memory usage (and we are working on further reduce it in the future)
  • Reduce disk IO usage when txn pool is full
  • When new wallet joins the network for the first time (generate ID), it now needs to solve a crypto-puzzle which should take about 15 mins on average
  • Faster block sync with default parameter
  • Allow resubscribe and unsubscribe

This is an incompatible upgrade, so upgrade is required. The old version will be deprecated very soon to accelerate the upgrade process.

  • If you are using one-click on DO/AWS/Google Cloud, you don’t need to do anything.
  • If you downloaded the release version, you just need to download it again https://github.com/nknorg/nkn/releases , replace your nknd and nknc and run again
  • If you build from scratch, you just need to do the build again.
  • If you are using some scripts or tutorials that has auto-updator, then it should be automatic if the auto-updator is working properly.

You probably don’t need to download the ChainDB snapshot manually, but if you really want or need, you can use https://nkn.org/ChainDB_latest.zip 1.

To update to the new version, please stop your nknd, rebuild (or download the latest binary from https://github.com/nknorg/nkn/releases ), and then restart. If you are using the GUI miner or auto-updater, then you just need to stop and restart and miner and it will upgrade automatically.
