About this release

This is the third Iris release candidate.

It:

• Introduced a new HTTP endpoint: /dry-run. It is part of the external interface and should be preferred over the existing debug endpoint. It comes with some protections for the node: all transactions/calls provided are limited to a total amount of gas that they can consume. There is a new setting in the config where the node operator can change this according to their needs, the default value is 6 000 000 gas. The new endpoint is disabled by default and can be enabled via the new API group dry-run.

Please test the iris protocol by activating it in the configuration file as below:

  chain:
    hard_forks:
      "1": 0
      "5": 1

 fork_management:
    network_id: "my_test_iris"

You can also join testnet, the hard fork kicked in there at height 425900.

Please let us know if you have any problems by opening a ticket. Troubleshooting of common issues is documented in the wiki.
