Zebra 4.0.0 Release: Enhanced Observability and Developer Experience

Ecosystem Updates Zcash Foundation
1

Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce the release of Zebra 4.0.0, including new observability infrastructure and distributed tracing support.

You can find this latest release on Github, Dockerhub and crates.io.

Please try out this latest release and let us know if you find any issues or have any feature requests by opening issues on the Zcash Foundation Github, or by writing to us here on the forum.

Please note the following breaking changes in this release:

  1. Zebra’s config file is now always parsed as TOML. Configuration files are now strictly parsed as TOML format regardless of extension. If you were previously using a different configuration format, you will need to change the contents of your config file to TOML format.

  2. getinfo RPC field type change. The getinfo RPC method now returns the errorstimestamp field as an i64 to match zcashd behavior. If you rely on this field, you will need to change your code to be able to interpret the i64 result.

You can find more details about what is included with this release in the release notes on GitHub and the release blog post.

h/t @pili @gustavovalverde @conradoplg for writing this post. :clap:
