Mainnet Validator latest GA build: v1.13.7 Update



The core team has tagged release v1.13.7 and it's ready for general availability.

This is a non-mandatory, but highly recommended release and contains a number of performance improvements including reducing the amount of CPU needed.

IMPORTANT: Although a dot release, v1.13.7 contains many significant changes and the upgrade step is lengthy and computationally intense. The team recommends not rolling a whole machine at once.

Time to complete the upgrade depends on system specs, but budget for at least a few minutes of CPU-intensive work as it builds new caches. One community member reported 25 mins for their Validator to absorb its next block after upgrading.

A workaround includes the following: upgrade the initial Validator, then upgrade another with auto-snaps disabled, then manually snap it from the upgraded one. This gets you the cache, which is persistent, included in the snap.

In addition, this release also addresses a number of core fixes including a fix to prevent the type of issue that caused the chain halt earlier this week from ever reoccurring, fixing a transaction manager bug that will benefit any network actor that submits transactions.

This is a “one-way upgrade”, meaning downgrading from this fix would require reloading a pre-v1.13.7 snapshot.
