Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.5.3] - 2018-08-20

Changes

  • Migrate and remove all PostgreSQL data to RocksDB. Redis and PostgreSQL containers will be removed in a future release.
  • No longer start chainpoint-ntpd if timesyncd or ntpd is detected on Linux, or timed, or pacemaker on macOS. Previously only ntpd was tested for.
  • Perform automatic backups of Auth (HMAC) keys to keys/backups directory on Node registration or restart.
  • Deprecated make backup-auth-keys target as backups are now automatic.
  • Added echo command to make print-auth-keys output. This provides easier to use one-line command to restore a backup key to the keys dir. Run this echo command to place a .key file in the keys directory with proper Auth Key (HMAC) content.
  • Removed Redis and PostgreSQL related make targets as they are no longer needed.

Added

  • Send a User-Agent string with upstream requests.

Fixed

  • Updated NPM dependencies.

[1.5.2] - 2018-07-30

Changes

  • Write ephemeral proof state to RocksDB (formerly Redis). This provides a significant increase in sustained inbound hash rate while consuming disk space instead of RAM. The ephemeral data written to RocksDB is auto-pruned after 24 hours. The Redis database will be removed from the Node in a future release.
  • Upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.6.9
  • Upgrade to Redis 4.0.10
  • Upgrade Node.js (node:8.9.0-alpine -> node:8.11.3-stretch) Docker container base
  • Reduce HTTP calls to PUT /nodes if request body matches previous successful PUT.
  • Certain caching functions, which contain small amounts of volatile data, now store their data in RAM instead of Redis.

Added

  • Improved handling of processing time hints from Chainpoint Core.
  • Auto-migrate old Redis proof state and other Redis data to RocksDB on initial startup.

Fixed

  • Node UI React application internal re-factoring and bugfixes.
  • Ensure validator.isIP() receives a string avoiding rare crash in 1.5.1 release.
  • Re-create /keys/backups directories if previously deleted.
  • Improve detection, handling, and UI messaging in Brave browser when third-party cookies and local storage are disabled.
  • Trim whitespace from the list of hashes provided to POST /hashes using the hashids request header.
  • Further enforce Node operation on HTTP port 80.

[1.5.1] - 2018-07-03

Changes

  • Replaced Node local firewall with custom updatable IP filter. This eliminates the need for the Node to schedule and perform automatic restarts.
  • If a Node receives an HTTP 426 Upgrade Required error from Core, indicating that the Node is running too old a version of the Node software to update its registration, it will no longer retry a request that cannot succeed. It will log an error message to the logs and exit.
  • During registration, if an HTTP 409 Conflict error is thrown as a result of the Ethereum address or public URI already being registered, the Node will no longer retry and will exit.
  • When a Node is configured password with CHAINPOINT_NODE_UI_PASSWORD=false the Node UI will bypass the login screen and redirect the user directly to dashboard.

Fixed

  • An issue with persisting Redux data to browser local storage which sometimes resulted in the Node UI appearing 'stuck' and not displaying the most current data.
  • Enabled authentication form submit via [enter] key, only validate after form submitted.

[1.5.0] - 2018-06-27

Changes

  • Reduce retry count for failed registrations to 3.
  • Nodes that fail to register will no longer exit after retries. The Node will continue to run, allowing access to the Node UI.
  • Allow adjustment of Node hash aggregation period based on Core config.
  • Update Chainpoint library dependencies merkle-tools and chainpoint-parse to current versions.

Added

  • New Makefile target for make print-auth-keys which will print the filename and auth key contents of each file in the keys/backups directory. This allows for easier copy/paste of backup key contents as an alternative to exploring the files in the keys/backups directory.
  • Auth keys will be automatically backed up to the local drive on registration.
  • Log some additional details about the cause(s) of a failed audit to the make logs output.

Fixed

  • Specifying false as a Boolean or String to CHAINPOINT_NODE_UI_PASSWORD in .env configuration will now work as expected.
  • Update to Node UI to correctly display Node ms delta.
  • Simplify and enhance performance of Core proof retrieval.

[1.4.2] - 2018-05-08

Changed

  • make clear-containers will now only apply to Chainpoint related containers.
  • make clear-containers no longer uses sudo. Assumes you have setup system so that logged-in user has permissions to docker commands without use of sudo.
  • The check for Ubuntu OS in certain make commands will no longer exit make task if Ubuntu not detected. A warning will be printed on make up and make upgrade if not running Ubuntu.
  • Log an error if CHAINPOINT_NODE_PUBLIC_URI is set to an RFC-1918 private IP address that will never be routable over the public Internet.

Fixed

  • Restoration of auth keys from a .key file where the file contains trailing newlines or whitespace now works as expected.
  • A spurious error related to importing a backup auth key : INFO : Registration : HMAC Auth Key Not Found
  • Importing an auth key backup where there is whitespace in the .key file.
  • The make upgrade-docker-compose task caused issues for some as apparently the binary download from its source Github repository is unreliable and can cause an upgrade to a corrupted binary. We are now providing a download of our own binary for docker-compose which is frozen into this repository as well. You can install it using make upgrade-docker-compose or, if your docker-compose install is already having issues and you can't do a normal make upgrade, you can use the out-of-band installation by running the following curl command. This will download the same frozen Linux binary. This should resolve issues with text file busy errors and allow you to proceed normally with make upgrade.
curl -sSL https://chainpoint-node.storage.googleapis.com/docker-compose-install.sh | bash

[1.4.1] - 2018-05-04

Changed

  • Enhanced backup and restore documentation in the README.md file

Added

  • If a CHAINPOINT_NODE_PUBLIC_URI is provided (public Node) the Node will perform an HTTP health check on startup to ensure that the configured URI is the same as the Node is actually running on. Will help prevent IP misconfiguration and resulting audit failures. The Node will exit if mis-configured and can't reach itself on the IP URI configured.
  • A newly registered Node will now automatically generate a backup of the Node Auth key without user intervention. This will only be triggered on first Node registration, and not on subsequent updates.
  • A new Makefile task make upgrade-docker-compose which will upgrade it to version 1.21.0. This task will now be run automatically on make upgrade as well.
  • A new Makefile task make clear-containers which will stop and remove any running Docker containers on the host. This will be run automatically on make up and make upgrade as well. This prevents occasional issues with stuck containers that would cause an error on Node upgrade.

Fixed

  • Node UI login on Microsoft Windows 10 - Edge browser v16 & v14 - now works.
  • Restoration of auth keys from a .key file where the Ethereum address in the filename is mixed case now works as expected.

[1.4.0] - 2018-05-03

Added

  • Node UI (preview version) and secure transfer of audit health data to Node
  • Local caching of Core proofs
  • Make use of new COMPOSE_IGNORE_ORPHANS env var with docker-compose to hide unneeded 'orphan container' warnings. Requires current version of docker-compose which can now be upgraded in place using make upgrade-docker-compose

Changed

  • Updated Docker ntpd image
  • New auth key backup/restore method make backup-auth-keys which will store backups as files in keys/backups directory, and allow restore from keys directory
  • Upgraded Redis docker image to v4.0.9
  • Upgraded NTPD docker image
  • .env.sample updated to document new Node UI password configuration
  • make upgrade will now ensure that the Node is being upgraded from the master branch of the Github repository
  • Prevent the Node daily auto-restart from occuring near the time of scheduled audits

Deprecated

  • make auth-keys will be removed in a future release. It is now an alias for the new make backup-auth-keys
