Below are some of the highlights of TFGrid v3.9.0 component upgrades and improvements. Feel free to check TFGrid v3.9.0 Project for a more detailed overview of the TFGrid v3.9.0 release.
RMB-RS v1.0.2
Reliable Message Bus Relay (RMB-RS) is a secure communication panel that allows bots to communicate together in a chat-like way. It makes it very easy to host a service or a set of functions to be used by anyone, even if your service is running behind NAT.
- Guarantee authenticity of the messages. You are always sure that the received message is authentic from the sender.
- End-to-end encryption support.
- Support for third-party hosted Relays. Anyone can host a Relay and people can use it safely since there is no way messages can be inspected while using e2e. That's similar to home servers by matrix.
See Specifications for more information.
Below is the list of the Public Relay Addresses hosted by Threefold:
- Dev: wss://relay.dev.grid.tf
- QA: wss://relay.qa.grid.tf
- Test: wss://relay.test.grid.tf
- Main: wss://relay.grid.tf
Impacted Clients:
TFChain v2.3.0
On this release, we modified the twin objects on TFChain and removed the notion of an IP. We added 2 fields (Relay and PK) onto the twins.
- Relay: an RMB Relay Address which a client can connect to (See RMB changes)
- PK: a public key for an encryption key which can be used to encrypt messages on the Public Relay, if not set, traffic will be unencrypted.
Impacted Clients:
TFChain-GraphQL v2.9.0
An important note for users, that multiple steps would be required to upgrade your TFChain-GraphQL into the latest v2.9.0 release, as described below:
- Restart the ingester from scratch using the new config
- Restart the processor from scratch using the new code
Please make sure all data is wiped before restarting both services.
