EOSIO.Contracts v1.8.3 Inline Multi-Signature Release Notes

eosio.msig (#505)

The existing implementation of the eosio.msig contract performs the exec action by use of a deferred transaction. On an EOSIO network with a typical amount of network traffic this will function as expected, but it poses an issue on EOSIO networks that have larger amounts of network traffic.

Due to the nature of deferred transactions, the transaction may expire without being executed, leading to the user having to manually invoke exec repeatedly until the transaction succeeds. This change now converts the exec action to executing inline.

Therefore the user can now be assured that the execution of the exec action has completed successfully, without the uncertainty of the transaction potentially being dropped.

Dependencies

Although not required, EOSIO/eos v2.0.7 is recommended due to the introduction of the configuration setting max-nonprivileged-inline-action-size to prevent any nonprivileged accounts from executing inline actions greater than the setting limit, which defaults to 4KB.
