Protocol Upgrade
This release does not contain a consensus protocol upgrade.
Additional Resources
Algorand v2.1.6
Highlights
Release 2.1.5-stable introduced a bug in our Debian packaging scripts that packaged a TestNet genesis.json file by default instead of the MainNet genesis.json.
This bug only affected Debian package users who installed version 2.1.5-stable, which was available between Monday September 21, 2020 2:30pm EDT and Wednesday September 23, 2020 12:00pm EDT.
If you were affected, release 2.1.6 will resolve the issue. However, all users who installed 2.1.5 are encouraged to
confirm that the right network is being used after the 2.1.6 upgrade.
You can check the Genesis ID using with the following command:
goal node status -d /var/lib/algorand
You can also check the contents of the /var/lib/algorand/genesis.json file to ensure it matches the correct network's genesis file.
Changes
- Other
- Bug Fixes
- Use DEFAULT_RELEASE_NETWORK genesis file in debian package
- Resolve bad genesis file from 2.1.5 debian install

Highlights
A bug in the algorand debian package would result in the genesis.json for TestNet being applied instead of MainNet. Debian users who upgraded to 2.1.5 should verify that /var/lib/algorand/genesis.json is pointing to the correct network after upgrading to this version.

Algorand v2.1.3
Highlights
- Stateful Smart Contracts: Algorand Smart Contracts (ASC1) offer the foundational attributes of security, scale, and decentralization found in Algorand’s Layer-1 protocol, allowing developers to take advantage of the network’s speed, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity. Enabling complex governed transactions with simplified tools that can build a wide range of applications, and removing the technical barriers that undermine blockchain adoption. Algorand’s Smart Contracts are highly flexible, reliable in that they are executed on a tamper-proof (trustless) network providing the transparency needed, with error-free, immutable, and accurate applications.
- Rekeying Support: Algorand's Rekeying offers a seamless, easier experience for users and custody providers by allowing flexible changes of Private Spending Keys anytime without changing Public Addresses, giving Public address more continuity, and reducing operational overhead with the changes of Private Spending Keys.
- Fast Catchup: Fast Catchup is a new feature and will rapidly update a node using catchpoint snapshots. A new command on goal node is now available for catchup. The entire process should sync a node in minutes rather than hours or days.
- Performance Improvements and Bug Fixes: Note that there is a one time long startup time to re-encode the accounts database, which will take an additional few minutes to complete.
