v1.10.0

June 24th, 2024

This release enhances filter configurations and includes the following updates:

1. excluded_sequences supports sequence ranges in addition to exact values, e.g. [1, 2, "5-10", 13] is now valid and would exclude packet with sequences 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13.
2. packet_filter now ignores unintended whitespace.
3. A new allow_ccq per-chain configuration has been added to skip the relaying of ICS31 Cross Chain Queries.

Additionally, various improvements to testing and bug fixes have been implemented.

• General

  • Fix a bug where in some cases, Hermes would drop all events in a
    batch that came after an event rejected by the filtering policy
    (#4034)

• Relayer Library

  • Discard CrossChain queries intended for unconfigured chains.
    (#4021)

• Integration Test Framework

  • Add tests to ensure that Hermes correctly relays transfer messages
    from a grantee address with granted authorisation using authz module.
    (#4046)

• Relayer Library

  • Add a new per-chain configuration allow_ccq to enable or disable
    relaying of ICS31 Cross Chain Query packets.
    (#4040)

• Integration Test Framework

  • Update the version of Gaia running the integration tests in the CI from v15.2.0
    to v17.2.0 (#4023)
  • Update the version of Osmosis running the integration tests in the CI from v24.0.1
    to v25.0.0 (#4024)
  • Update the version of Juno running the integration tests in the CI from v21.0.0
    to v22.0.0 (#4025)
  • Update the version of Neutron running the integration tests in the CI from v3.0.2
    to v3.0.5 (#4026)
  • Update the version of Celestia app running the integration tests in the CI from v1.4.0
    to v1.11.0 (#4027)
  • Update the version of wasmd running the integration tests in the CI from v0.50.0
    to v0.51.0 (#4029)
  • Reduce run time for ICS29 tests by immediately verifying if either
    the legacy fees, recv_fee + ack_fee + timeout_fee or current
    fees, max(recv_fee + ack_fee, timeout_fee) have been escrowed.
    (#4053)
  • Refactored the test-framework bootstrapping for n-ary chain tests
    to utilize the specified topology.
  • Currently, only linear, cyclic and fully connected topologies are supported.
    (#4038)

• Relayer Library

  • Use custom User-Agent for Hermes queries
    (#3979)
  • Updated the channel and port filter parsing to ignore whitespaces.
    This will prevent unintended channel scanning due to accidental
    whitespaces when exact matches are specified in the packet_filter
    configuration.
    (#4045)
  • Improve the excluded_sequences configuration so that it now accepts
    ranges of sequence values in addition to exact values.
    Accepted format:

  • Exact sequence, e.g. [1, 2, 3]

  • "-" separator, e.g. ["1-3"]

    These can be combined making the following configurations equivalent:

  • excluded_sequences = { 'channel-0' = [1, "3-5", 7, "9-12"] }

  • excluded_sequences = { 'channel-0' = [1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12] }
