Features

  • Support for keep-alives using libp2p ping protocol.

  • Support for multiple protocol IDs. Mounted protocols now match versions of the same protocol that adds a postfix to the stable protocol ID.

Changes

  • Bridge topics are now configurable.
  • The resume Nim API now eliminates duplicates messages before storing them.
  • The resume Nim API now fetches historical messages in page sequence.
  • Added support for stable version of relay protocol, with protocol ID /vac/waku/relay/2.0.0.
  • Added optional timestamp to WakuRelayMessage.
  • Removed PCRE as a prerequisite for building Waku v1 and Waku v2.
  • Improved swap metrics.

General refactoring

  • Refactored modules according to Nim best practices.
  • Simplified the way protocols get notified of new messages.
  • Refactored wakunode2 setup into 6 distinct phases with improved logging and error handling.
  • Moved Whisper types and protocol from the nim-eth module to nim-waku.

Docs

Schema

  • Updated the Message table of the persistent message store:
    • Added senderTimestamp column.
    • Renamed the timestamp column to receiverTimestamp and changes its type to REAL.

API

Fixes

  • Conversion between topics for the Waku v1 <-> v2 bridge now follows the RFC recommendation.
  • Fixed field order of HistoryResponse protobuf message: the field numbers of the HistoryResponse are shifted up by one to match up the 13/WAKU2-STORE specs.

This release supports the following libp2p protocols:

Protocol Spec status Protocol id
17/WAKU-RLN raw /vac/waku/waku-rln-relay/2.0.0-alpha1
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-beta3
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.
