ckb 0.100.0 (c978940 2021-09-13)

[doitian]

This version is compatible with v0.25.0 and above. However, it is recommended to upgrade the node, since we will only release security patches based on the latest release.

See how to connect to various chains in Wiki.

The version v0.100.0 will bring incompatible changes for the next hard fork but it will not activate the hard fork for testnet and mainnet. So it is compatible with the current testnet and mainnet.

• The block header as a new field extra_hash, which replaced uncles_hash.
• The block has a new field extension but no blocks may set it before the hard fork activation.
• The field hash_type has a new allowed value "data1" but it is invalid before the hard fork activation.
• The default value of the parameter OutputsValidator in the JSON RPC send_transaction is well_known_scripts_only now. See feat: change default OutputsValidator to well_known_scripts_only #2821 for details.

The .asc files are signatures. It is wise and more secure to check out for the files integrity.

Changes since v0.43.2

This version contains the fork features in ckb2021 which are disabled in testnet and mainnet.
