Downstream upgrades
Sector sealing
-
The following improvements were introduced in #3350.
- Allow
lotus-miner sectors removeto remove a sector in any state. - Create a separate state in the storage FSM dedicated to submitting the Commit message.
- Recovery for when the Deal IDs of deals in a sector get changed in a reorg.
- Auto-retry sending Precommit and Commit messages if they run out of gas
- Auto-retry sector remove tasks when they fail
- Compact worker windows, and allow their tasks to be executed in any order
- Allow
-
Don't simply skip PoSt for bad sectors (#3323)

Lotus changelog
0.5.0 / 2020-08-2020
This version of Lotus will be used for the incentivized testnet Space Race competition,
and can be considered mainnet-ready code. It includes some protocol
changes, upgrades of core dependencies, and various bugfixes and UX/performance improvements.
Highlights
Among the highlights included in this release are:
- Gas changes: We implemented EIP-1559 and introduced real gas values.
- Deal-making: We now support "Committed Capacity" sectors, "fast-retrieval" deals,
and the packing of multiple deals into a single sector. - Renamed features: We renamed some of the binaries, environment variables, and default
paths associated with a Lotus node.
Gas changes
We made some significant changes to the mechanics of gas in this release.
Network fee
We implemented something similar to
Ethereum's EIP-1559.
The Message structure had three changes:
- The
GasPricefield has been removed - A new
GasFeeCapfield has been added, which controls the maximum cost
the sender incurs for the message - A new
GasPremiumfield has been added, which controls the reward a miner
earns for including the message
A sender will never be charged more than GasFeeCap * GasLimit.
A miner will typically earn GasPremium * GasLimit as a reward.
The Blockheader structure has one new field, called ParentBaseFee.
Informally speaking,the ParentBaseFee
is increased when blocks are densely packed with messages, and decreased otherwise.
The ParentBaseFee is used when calculating how much a sender burns when executing a message. Burning simply refers to sending attoFIL to a dedicated, unreachable account.
A message causes ParentBaseFee * GasUsed attoFIL to be burnt.
Real gas values
This release also includes our first "real" gas costs for primitive operations.
The costs were designed to account for both the time that message execution takes,
as well as the space a message adds to the state tree.
Deal-making changes
There are three key changes to the deal-making process.
Committed Capacity sectors
Miners can now pledge "Committed Capacity" (CC) sectors, which are explicitly
stated as containing junk data, and must not include any deals. Miners can do this
to increase their storage power, and win block rewards from this pledged storage.
They can mark these sectors as "upgradable" with lotus-miner sectors mark-for-upgrade.
If the miner receives and accepts one or more storage deals, the sector that includes
those deals will replace the CC sector. This is intended to maximize the amount of useful
storage on the Filecoin network.
Fast-retrieval deals
Clients can now include a fast-retrieval flag when proposing deals with storage miners.
If set to true, the miner will include an extra copy of the deal data. This
data can be quickly served in a retrieval deal, since it will not need to be unsealed.
Multiple deals per sector
Miners can now pack multiple deals into a single sector, so long as all the deals
fit into the sector capacity. This should increase the packing efficiency of miners.
Renamed features
To improve the user experience, we updated several names to mainatin
standard prefixing, and to better reflect the meaning of the features being referenced.
In particular, the Lotus miner binary is now called lotus-miner, the default
path for miner data is now ~/.lotusminer, and the environment variable
that sets the path for miner data is now $LOTUS_MINER_PATH. A full list of renamed
features can be found here.
