Description

This release includes runtime fixes mainly aimed at OTA publishers. A publisher running vere-v2.10 and urbit-os-v2.142 (releasing in a few days) will be able to reliably deliver the initial OTA through remote scry instead of falling back to ames.

The release also includes significantly better long-running replay capabilities that were missing since vere-v1.14. The <your-ship>/.run play command now supports the --auto-meld command line flag to automatically meld a long memory-intensive replay. It also supports the --snap-at x command line flag to snapshot every x events.

Description

During pre-release testing of vere-v2.10-rc2 a regression in certain replay scenarios was detected. A check introduced in vere-v2.7 was too strict, preventing a replay from proceeding in some circumstances. This release candidate incorporates #468 to fix the issue.

Full Changelog: vere-v2.9...vere-v2.10-rc1

A few days ago we discovered a performance issue when a remote scry publisher gets many simultaneous requests, as often happens during OTA updates. This performance bug caused the publisher to do 500x more work than necessary. We have now released vere-v2.9 to fix the issue.

What's Changed

• ames: consolidate pending fine requests by @philipcmonk in #443

Full Changelog: vere-v2.8...vere-v2.9

The previous release vere-v2.7 introduced a regression presenting as a significant disk read increase when swapping. This issue was caused by a flag meant only for development builds being set in the release build, causing every snapshot write to do an overly paranoid check on snapshot integrity.

We have now released vere-v2.8 to fix the issue.
