Release highlights:

  • Major improvements in the performance of historical message queries to longer-term, sqlite-only message stores.
  • Introduction of an HTTP REST API with basic functionality
  • On-chain RLN group management. This was also integrated into an example spam-protected chat application.

The full list of changes is below.

Features

  • Support for on-chain group membership management in the 17/WAKU-RLN-RELAY implementation.
  • Integrated HTTP REST API for external access to some wakunode2 functionality:
    • Debug REST API exposes debug information about a wakunode2.
    • Relay REST API allows basic pub/sub functionality according to 11/WAKU2-RELAY.
  • 35/WAKU2-NOISE implementation now adds padding to ChaChaPoly encryptions to increase security and reduce metadata leakage.

Changes

  • Significantly improved the SQLite-only historical message store query performance.
  • Refactored several protocol implementations to improve maintainability and readability.
  • Major code reorganization for the 13/WAKU2-STORE implementation to improve maintainability. This will also make the store extensible to support multiple implementations.
  • Disabled compiler log colors when running in a CI environment.
  • Refactored 35/WAKU2-NOISE implementation into smaller submodules.
  • 11/WAKU2-RELAY implementation can now optionally be compiled with Zerokit RLN. Previously only Kilic's RLN was supported.

Fixes

  • Fixed wire encoding of protocol buffers to use proto3.
  • Fixed Waku v1 <> Waku v2 bridge losing connection to statically configured v1 nodes.
  • Fixed underlying issue causing DNS discovery to fail for records containing multiple strings.

Docs

  • Updated release process documentation.
  • Added tutorial on how to run a spam-protected chat2 application with on-chain group management.

This release supports the following libp2p protocols:

Protocol Spec status Protocol id
11/WAKU2-RELAY stable /vac/waku/relay/2.0.0
12/WAKU2-FILTER draft /vac/waku/filter/2.0.0-beta1
13/WAKU2-STORE draft /vac/waku/store/2.0.0-beta4
18/WAKU2-SWAP draft /vac/waku/swap/2.0.0-beta1
19/WAKU2-LIGHTPUSH draft /vac/waku/lightpush/2.0.0-beta1

The Waku v1 implementation is stable but not under active development.
