Changelog
This release contains the following bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements:
Correct TaggedPointer move constructor: Fixes a bug in unused code for the TaggedPointer class. The old code would fail if a caller explicitly tried to remove a child that is not actually part of the node. (61389a8)
Ensure protocol buffer prerequisites are present: The build scripts and packages now properly handle Protobuf packages and various packages. Prior to this change, building on Ubuntu 21.10 Impish Indri would fail unless the
libprotoc-devpackage was installed. (b7e0306)Improve handling of endpoints during peer discovery. This hardens and improves handling of incoming messages on the peer protocol. (289bc0a)
Run tests on updated linux distros: Test builds now run on Rocky Linux 8, Fedora 34 and 35, Ubuntu 18, 20, and 22, and Debian 9, 10, and 11. (a9ee802)
Avoid dereferencing empty optional in ReportingETL: Fixes a bug in Reporting Mode that could dereference an empty optional value when throwing an error. (5b085a7)
Correctly add GIT_COMMIT_HASH into version string: When building the server from a non-tagged release, the build files now add the commit ID in a way that follows the semantic-versioning standard, and correctly handle the case where the commit hash ID cannot be retrieved. (d23d37f)
Update RocksDB to version 6.27.3: Updates the version of RocksDB included in the server from 6.7.3 (which was released on 2020-03-18) to 6.27.3 (released 2021-12-10). (c5dc00a)
