Release 3.2
-----------
As we see more Corda deployments in production this minor release of the open source platform brings
several fixes that make it easier for a node to join Corda networks broader than those used when
operating as part of an internal testing deployment. This will ensure Corda nodes will be free to interact
with upcoming network offerings from R3 and others who may make broad-access Corda networks available.
* **The Corda Network Builder**
To make it easier to create more dynamic, flexible, networks for testing and deployment,
with the 3.2 release of Corda we are shipping a graphical network bootsrapping tool (see :doc:`network-builder`)
to facilitate the simple creation of more dynamic ad hoc dev-mode environments.
Using a graphical interface you can dynamically create and alter Corda test networks, adding
nodes and CorDapps with the click of a button! Additionally, you can leverage its integration
with Azure cloud services for remote hosting of Nodes and Docker instances for local testing.
* **Split Compatibility Zone**
Prior to this release compatibility zone membership was denoted with a single configuration setting
.. sourcecode:: shell
compatibilityZoneURL : "http://<host>(:<port>)"
That would indicate both the location of the Doorman service the node should use for registration
of its identity as well as the Network Map service where it would publish its signed Node Info and
retrieve the Network Map.
Compatibility Zones can now, however, be configured with the two disparate services, Doorman and
Network Map, running on different URLs. If the compatibility zone your node is connecting to
is configured in this manner, the new configuration looks as follows.
.. sourcecode:: shell
networkServices {
doormanURL: "http://<host>(:<port>)"
networkMapURL: "http://<host>(:<port>)"
}
.. note:: The ``compatibilityZoneURL`` setting should be considered deprecated in favour of the new
``networkServices`` settings group.
* **The Blob Inspector**
The blob inspector brings the ability to unpack serialized Corda blobs at the
command line, giving a human readable interpretation of the encoded date.
.. note:: This tool has been shipped as a separate Jar previously. We are now including it
as part of an official release.
Documentation on its use can be found here :doc:`blob-inspector`
* **The Event Horizon**
One part of joining a node to a Corda network is agreeing to the rules that govern that network as set out
by the network operator. A node's membership of a network is communicated to other nodes through the network
map, the service to which the node will have published its Node Info, and through which it receives the
set of NodeInfos currently present on the network. Membership of that list is a finite thing determined by
the network operator.
Periodically a node will republish its NodeInfo to the Network Map service. The Network Map uses this as a
heartbeat to determine the status of nodes registered with it. Those that don't "beep" within the
determined interval are removed from the list of registered nodes. The ``Event Horizon`` network parameter
sets the upper limit within which a node must respond or be considered inactive.
.. important:: This does not mean a node is unregistered from the Doorman, only that its NodeInfo is
removed from the Network Map. Should the node come back online it will be re-added to the published
set of NodeInfos

Upgrade from ``v3.0``: Gradle Plugin Version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. sourcecode:: sql You will need to update the ``corda_release_version`` identifier in your project gradle file.
ALTER TABLE [schema].NODE_ATTACHMENTS_CONTRACT_CLASS_NAME RENAME TO NODE_ATTACHMENTS_CONTRACTS; .. sourcecode:: shell
Upgrade from ``v3.1``: ext.corda_release_version = '3.2-corda'
Database schema changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Database upgrade - a typo has been corrected in the ``NODE_ATTACHMENTS_CONTRACTS`` table name.
When upgrading from versions 3.0 or 3.1, run the following command:
.. sourcecode:: sql .. sourcecode:: sql
ALTER TABLE [schema].NODE_ATTCHMENTS_CONTRACTS RENAME TO NODE_ATTACHMENTS_CONTRACTS; ALTER TABLE [schema].NODE_ATTCHMENTS_CONTRACTS RENAME TO NODE_ATTACHMENTS_CONTRACTS;
Schema is optional, run SQL when the node is not running. .. note::
Schema name is optional, run SQL when the node is not running.
Corda node will fail on startup if the correct table name is not present. * Postgres database upgrade - Change the type of the ``checkpoint_value`` column to ``bytea``.
This will address the issue that the `vacuum` function is unable to clean up deleted checkpoints as they are still referenced from the ``pg_shdepend`` table.
.. sourcecode:: sql
ALTER TABLE node_checkpoints ALTER COLUMN checkpoint_value set data type bytea using null;
.. important::
The Corda node will fail on startup if the database was not updated with the above commands.
