Steem 0.16.2 Release Notes

This release is not a consensus altering release.

This release only affects API serving nodes and read-only nodes.

  • Chainbase has been updated with some defensive coding on locks. By default lock checking is compiled in but disabled at runtime. Enabling/Disabling lock checking at compile time can be specified by using the CHAINBASE_CHECK_LOCKING=[ON/OFF] cmake flag. Enabling lock checking at runtime can be done with the --check-locks command line argument (lock checking at runtime will not work if it is not compiled in).
  • Fixed some issues with locks that could cause undefined locking behavior between read and write nodes if the write node was producing a block.
  • Fixed an error in some API calls that could crash a read only node. This could not cause a write node to halt and the underlying bug did not effect write nodes. As such, block producing nodes are not affected by this bug.
  • Added API calls, database_api:: get_tags_used_by_author, follow_api:: get_reblogged_by, and follow_api:: get_blog_authors.
  • The discussion_query object has a field for truncating comment body length.
  • Improvements to get_state when returning popular tags and truncating comment bodies when only content summaries are needed. As a result, state objects have reduced in size significantly.
