v1.4.4
7917a40f · ·v1.4.4 Release Notes - November 14, 2019 ======================================== What's New in Hyperledger Fabric v1.4.4 --------------------------------------- The following enhancements are included in this release: - **FAB-16715, FAB-16544: Orderer endpoint override** Ordering networks whose addresses or TLS root certificates change will cause problems for new peers joining channels because the channel genesis block will contain the outdated orderer information. A new configuration option for orderer endpoint overrides allows administrators to configure peers to translate old orderer addresses and certificates to the updated orderer addresses and certificate pools. - **FAB-17000: Provide notification to users if certs are about to expire** Peers and orderers now log a warning to the log a week before the enrollment certificate or TLS certificate expire. Example log entries: `[certmonitor] trackCertExpiration -> WARN 011 The server TLS certificate expires within one week` `[certmonitor] trackCertExpiration -> WARN 011 The enrollment certificate expires within 2 days and 5 hours` - **FAB-15814: Add operations endpoint to expose peer/orderer version** Adds a /version endpoint to the operations server that serves peer/orderer metadata including Version number and CommitSHA. - **FAB-16852** Bump to Go v1.12.12 and baseimage 0.4.18 - **FABB-128** Bump node.js to 8.16.1 and npm to 6.11.3 in 0.4.18 baseimage Fixes ----- - **FAB-13552: Re-addition of a removed OSN in a channel** - Prior to the fix, if a Raft orderer was removed from the consenter set in the channel configuration, it would not check to see if was added back and a reboot was required. - **FAB-15026: Segmentation violation in peer chaincode install** - Prior to the fix, the tar processing during chaincode package install could trigger a panic while looking up user info when run with certain versions of libc. The calls to libc are no longer made. - **FAB-15389: Endorsing peer is not honoring maxPeerCount for private data dissemination** - Prior to the fix, there was a chance that peers chosen for private data dissemination at endorsement time could potentially be counted twice towards maxPeerCount, leading to disseminating private data to fewer peers than expected. - **FAB-15666: NetworkMode does not get passed to chaincode image build** Prior to the fix, the peer's configured docker NetworkMode was not getting passed upon chaincode image build. - **FAB-16571: Fix panic in peer chaincode package command** - Prior to the fix, the peer chaincode package command could panic when traversing the chaincode location. - **FAB-16610: Commit block to ledger hang when chaincode crash** - Prior to the fix, if a chaincode terminated abnormally during an invocation, a lock would prevent blocks from committing until the execution timeout (core.chaincode.executetimeout property) was triggered. The fix ensures that the lock is released immediately on exit. - **FAB-16643: Nil pointer during reconciliation of deleted private data** - Prior to the fix, if a peer is trying to reconcile missing private data, and the private data key has since been deleted, the peer will panic with a nil pointer exception. - **FAB-16651: Fix connection leak if certificates renewed** - Prior to the fix, peers that have changed their enrollment certificate without changing their endpoint caused connections to leak over time. - **FAB-16695: Separate listeners causes panic** - Prior to the fix, configuring separate listeners for the peer admin service or for the orderer cluster service would cause a panic on startup if Prometheus metrics were enabled. - **FAB-16948: Nil pointer exception in CID GetID() when using Idemix** - GetID now returns an error when invoked on a chaincode request from an Idemix identity. Changes, Known Issues, and Workarounds -------------------------------------- - **FAB-12134: Same chaincode source receiving fingerprint mismatch error** - Chaincode installed in different ways may result in "chaincode fingerprint mismatch data mismatch" error upon instantiation. This may happen when installing chaincode by using different SDKs. To workaround the problem, package the chaincode prior to installation and instantiation, by using the "peer chaincode package" command. Known Vulnerabilities --------------------- - **FAB-8664: Peer should detect and react when its org has been removed** This is a relatively low severity problem, because it requires a significant conspiracy of network admins, but it will be addressed in a future release. Resolved Vulnerabilities ------------------------ None. Deprecations ------------ The following functions are deprecated and are targeted for removal in a future release. - Support for automatically vendoring the chaincode shim into user chaincodes. The fabric-ccenv image which is used to build chaincode, currently includes the github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/shim ("shim") package. This is convenient, as it provides the ability to package chaincode without the need to include the "shim". However, this may cause issues in future releases (and/or when trying to use packages which are included by the "shim"). In order to avoid any issues, users are advised to manually vendor the "shim" package with their chaincode prior to using the peer CLI for packaging and/or for installing chaincode. For more details see FAB-5177. - Support for CAR chaincode package format Support for packaging chaincode using the CAR format will be removed in a future release. For more details see FAB-14720. - Support for specifying orderer endpoints at the global level in channel configuration. Utilize the new 'OrdererEndpoints' stanza within the channel configuration of an organization instead. For more details see FAB-7559. - Support for invoking system chaincodes from user chaincodes. System chaincodes, for example QSCC, are intended to be invoked by a client rather than by a user chaincode. Invoking from a user chaincode may cause deadlocks. For more details see FAB-15285. - Support for user chaincodes to utilize the chaincode shim's logger via NewLogger(). Chaincodes that used the shim's NewLogger() will need to shift to their own preferred logging mechanism. For more details see FAB-15366. - Support for peer's Admin service. The peer's Admin service exposes APIs such as GetLogSpec() and SetLogSpec(). Instead of using these services, utilize the HTTP operations service that was introduced in v1.4.0. For more details see FAB-15390. - Support for Solo ordering service. With the introduction of Raft-based ordering service in v1.4.1, it is possible to deploy a single-node (non-production) or multi-node Raft-based ordering service with no external dependencies. For single-node (non-production) ordering services, utilize Raft-based ordering service with a single node instead of Solo ordering service. For more details see FAB-15754.

v1.4.3
b8c4a6aa · ·v1.4.3 Release Notes - August 26, 2019 -------------------------------------- What's New in Hyperledger Fabric v1.4.3 --------------------------------------- The following features are included in this release: FAB-15388: Node OU certificate support for admin identities. FAB-12620: Node OU certificate support for orderer nodes. Node OUs are now supported for admin and orderer identity classifications (extending the existing Node OU support for clients and peers). These "organizational units" allow organizations to further classify identities into admins and orderers based on the OUs specified in their x509 certificates. This feature requires v1.4.3 'channel' capability to be enabled so that all orderer and peer nodes identify administrators consistently. Peers need to be updated to version v1.4.3 before channel administrators update a channel to v1.4.3 channel capability. Organizations that wish to take advantage of the new capability will need to update their MSP information in the channel configuration. For more details see: https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.4/msp.html#identity-classification Important Fixes --------------- FAB-16292 Fix nil pointer exception upon gossip peer expiration There was an issue introduced in v1.4.2 where peers participating in channels with gossip enabled may crash with a nil pointer exception, if another known peer goes down for several minutes (when using default aliveExpirationTimeout peer configuration of 25 seconds). To work around the problem on v1.4.2, automatically restart the peer process if it goes down, or configure a large value for aliveExpirationTimeout (peer environment variable CORE_PEER_GOSSIP_ALIVEEXPIRATIONTIMEOUT) to completely avoid the problem until peer can be upgraded to v1.4.3. FAB-16114 - v1.4.2 private data application capability enablement requires peer restart Prior to the fix, enablement of the v1.4.2 application capability required a peer restart to become effective. Since the v1.4.2 application capability changes how peers disseminate private data for invalid transactions, peers that have not been restarted after the application capability has been updated on the channel may not disseminate the data to peers that are attempting to pull the private data upon block commit. The pulling peers may therefore get stalled while pulling private data. The remedy on v1.4.2 requires restarting any peer that participates in private data dissemination, after v1.4.2 application capability has been enabled on a channel. Starting in v1.4.3, the application channel capability becomes effective upon processing the configuration block update, without requiring a peer restart. FAB-16327 Fix service discovery with orderer endpoints configured at organization level v1.4.2 introduced orderer endpoint configuration at the organization level ('OrdererEndpoints' stanza). Prior to the fix, if orderer endpoints are configured only at the new organization level, and not at the global 'Orderer.Addresses' level, then service discovery is not able return the channel configuration with the orderer endpoints. With the v1.4.3 fix, service discovery functions correctly even if orderer endpoints are configured only at the organization level. FAB-16089 Use latest npm version of ccenv image In the ccenv image that is used to build node.js chaincode, npm is updated to the latest version. This resolves issues from prior npm versions, such as the ability to include 'prepare' statements in node.js chaincode package.json. Changes, Known Issues, and Workarounds -------------------------------------- FAB-12088 - Java chaincode support on s390x architecture Java chaincode support is not available on s390x architecture. FAB-12134 - Same chaincode source receiving fingerprint mismatch error Chaincode installed in different ways may result in "chaincode fingerprint mismatch data mismatch" error upon instantiation. This may happen when installing chaincode by using different SDKs. To workaround the problem, package the chaincode prior to installation and instantiation, by using the "peer chaincode package" command. Known Vulnerabilities --------------------- FAB-8664 - Peer should detect and react when its org has been removed This is a relatively low severity problem, because it requires a significant conspiracy of network admins, but it will be addressed in a future release.

v1.4.2
c6cc550c · ·v1.4.2 Release Notes - July 17, 2019 ------------------------------------ What's New in Hyperledger Fabric v1.4.2 --------------------------------------- The following features are included in this release: FAB-15041 - Kafka to Raft Consensus Migration A Kafka-based ordering service can now be migrated to utilize Raft consensus. For details see the documentation at https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kafka_raft_migration.html. This feature requires v1.4.2 'orderer' and 'channel' capabilities to be enabled. FAB-14307 Channel rollback on a peer The new 'peer node rollback' command provides administrative ability to rollback a channel's ledger on a peer to a prior block height in the case a peer's channel data gets into a corrupt state at a later block height. The peer will re-retrieve the rolled back blocks from ordering service or another peer upon the next peer start. Note that during the rollback, the ledger's private data will be preserved, since it cannot be obtained from ordering service at a later time, and may not be available from other peers. Similarly, the command 'peer node reset' command can be used to rollback all of a peer's channel ledgers to the genesis block of each channel. Both commands must be issued from the peer's CLI while the peer process is down. It is recommended to enable v1.4.2 'application' capability to ensure that all private data is stored on the local peer (including for invalidated transactions), in case rollback and reprocessing is required on a peer. FAB-7559 - Ability to specify orderer endpoints at the organization level Starting from version v1.4.2, it is possible and highly recommended to define orderer endpoints at the organization level (new 'OrdererEndpoints' stanza within the channel configuration of an organization) and not at the global 'Orderer.Addresses' section of channel configuration. If at least one organization has an ordering service endpoint defined at an organizational level, all orderers and peers will ignore the channel level endpoints when connecting to ordering nodes. Utilizing organization level orderer endpoints is required when using service discovery with orderer nodes provided by multiple organizations, so that clients can provide the correct organization TLS certificates. This feature requires v1.4.2 'channel' capability to be enabled. Important Fixes --------------- FAB-15450 - History database queries do not return all results Prior to the fix, history database queries excluded transactions from blocks that were multiples of 256 (block 256, 512, 768, etc). FAB-15411 - GetTransactionByID does not return configuration transactions Prior to the fix, GetTransactionByID and GetBlockByTxID did not return configuration transactions, since these transactions were not indexed correctly. To fix indexes for pre-existing configuration transactions on a peer's channel ledgers, stop the peer and delete the index directory, e.g. /var/hyperledger/production/ledgersData/chains/index directory. The peer will rebuild the indexes correctly upon the next restart. FAB-15404 - Orderer Kafka TLS Issue Prior to the fix, orderer nodes could not communicate to kafka if TLS is enabled. FAB-15144 - Assorted orderer serviceability fixes Changes, Known Issues, and Workarounds -------------------------------------- FAB-15031 - ledger.blockstorage_commit_time metric is available on orderer nodes ledger.blockstorage_commit_time is now available on both peer and orderer nodes, but only includes block storage commit time. A new metric, ledger_blockstorage_and_pvtdata_commit_time, is available on peer nodes and includes the total commit time for blockstorage and pvtdata. FAB-15549 - Restrict service discovery endorsement computation If the endorsement policy contains an NoutOf that yields too many combinations (such as - 13 out of 25), service discovery will not return all possible combinations to the application (as that number can be huge), but instead will return a random subset of endorsement combinations. FAB-12088 - Java chaincode support on s390x architecture Java chaincode support is not available on s390x architecture. FAB-12134 - Same chaincode source receiving fingerprint mismatch error Chaincode installed in different ways may result in "chaincode fingerprint mismatch data mismatch" error upon instantiation. This may happen when installing chaincode by using different SDKs. To workaround the problem, package the chaincode prior to installation and instantiation, by using the "peer chaincode package" command.

v2.0.0-alpha
be235fd3 · ·v2.0.0-alpha Release Notes - April 9, 2019 ------------------------------------------ What's New in Hyperledger Fabric v2.0 ------------------------------------- The following major features are included in the v2.0.0 Alpha release: FAB-11237 - Improved chaincode lifecycle The Fabric 2.0 Alpha introduces decentralized governance for chaincode, with a new process for installing a chaincode on your peers and starting it on a channel. The new Fabric chaincode lifecycle allows multiple organizations to come to agreement on the parameters of a chaincode, such as the chaincode endorsement policy, before it can be used to interact with the ledger. FAB-11144 - Native token support The Fabric 2.0 Alpha provides users the ability to easily represent assets as tokens on Fabric channels. FabToken is a token management system that uses an Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model to issue, transfer, and redeem tokens using the identity and membership infrastructure provided by Hyperledger Fabric. A new 'token' command line interface is included as a way to drive token transactions without an application. FAB-6135 - Raft Consensus Introduced in v1.4.1 and v2.0.0 Alpha, the ordering service now provides an option to use the Raft Consensus algorithm. Raft is a crash fault tolerant (CFT) ordering service based on an implementation of Raft protocol in etcd. FAB-11096 - Docker images with Alpine Linux Hyperledger Fabric Docker images will now use Alpine Linux, a security-oriented, lightweight Linux distribution.

v1.4.0
d700b434 · ·v1.4.0 Release Notes - January 9, 2019 -------------------------------------- What's New in Hyperledger Fabric v1.4 ------------------------------------- The following features are included in this release: Fabric operations service A new HTTP based "operations" endpoint has been implemented on the orderer and the peer. The endpoint exposes APIs to check the server's health, to query and modify the logging level of the process, and, when configured, to expose Fabric metrics. FAB-3388 - Operational metrics for Fabric components The peer and orderer have been instrumented to provide basic operational metrics. The metrics can be surfaced for consumption by Prometheus or StatsD. FAB-10851 - Health check endpoint The orderer and the peer now provide a mechanism to check the health of the process via an HTTP request. Requests to GET /healthz on the operations endpoint will complete with a status 200 OK when the server believes it is healthy. When a health check fails, the server will respond with a 503 Service Unavailable and a JSON payload indicating which component detected an issue. The types of health checks that are performed will be extended over time. FAB-12265 - Dynamic log levels The orderer and the peer now provide a mechanism to get and update the active logging specification of the server. Requests to GET /logspec on the operations endpoint will return with a JSON payload that contains the active spec. When a JSON payload of `{"spec":"the-log-spec"}` is sent as the body of a PUT /logspec request, the active logging spec will be updated. FAB-12357 - Updates to logging In earlier versions of Fabric, loggers were associated with named components and configuration would control the active level of each logger. While this model works in theory, because of the configuration management libraries used by Fabric and the structure of the Fabric code base, in practice it had a number of issues. With 1.4, we're changing the model slightly. Instead of associating loggers with components, we are naming loggers and to help avoid side effects during initialization, the logging configuration is no longer obtained from the fabric configuration system but from environment variables that define the logging specification and log format. The log specification is a single string that consists of colon separated tokens. Each token declares one or more logger name prefixes (separated by commas) and an optional log level. When the logger name prefix ends with a period, it indicates that the log level should only apply to the logger with that exact name without the trailing period. When the logger name pattern is omitted, it specifies the default log level. In cases where multiple entries reference the same name pattern or multiple instances of a default are provided, the last specification takes precedence. FAB-12363 - Logging for gRPC interactions The orderer and the peer now provide logging (INFO level) for each gRPC interaction completed. FAB-12372 - Obtain Go routine stacks without termination When SIGUSR1 is received by the peer or the orderer, the state of all go routines will be captured and logged at the INFO level. This collection activity will not terminate the process. FAB-5093 - Private data reconciliation Allows peers for organizations that are added to private data collections to retrieve the private data for prior transactions to which they now are entitled. This feature is only supported on peers that have joined a channel since v1.4. FAB-11409 - Private data client access control Ability to automatically enforce access control within chaincode based on the client organization collection membership without having to write specific chaincode logic. This feature is configured by using the collection configuration property memberOnlyRead:true. If you have a mixed network of v1.4 peers and prior release peers, the prior release peers will not honor this configuration until they are upgraded to v1.4. Changes, Known Issues, and Workarounds -------------------------------------- FAB-12357 - Updates to logging Instead of using logging.level and CORE_LOGGING_LEVEL to control the logging level for the peer, and General.LogLevel or ORDERER_GENERAL_LOGLEVEL to control logging at the orderer, both processes now use the FABRIC_LOGGING_SPEC environment variable to acquire the initial logging specification for the server. Existing logging configuration should be converted to the new model. FAB-12489 - peer logging command updates The `getlevel`, `setlevel`, and `revertlevels` subcommands of the `peer logging` command are deprecated and users should migrate to the operations server. The behavior of `setlevel` has also changed slightly.

v1.4.0-rc2
b87ec808 · ·v1.4.0-rc2 Release Notes - December 20, 2018 -------------------------------------------- What's New in Hyperledger Fabric v1.4 ------------------------------------- The following features are included in this release: Fabric operations service A new HTTP based "operations" endpoint has been implemented on the orderer and the peer. The endpoint exposes APIs to check the server's health, to query and modify the logging level of the process, and, when configured, to expose Fabric metrics. FAB-3388 - Operational metrics for Fabric components The peer and orderer have been instrumented to provide basic operational metrics. The metrics can be surfaced for consumption by Prometheus or StatsD. FAB-10851 - Health check endpoint The orderer and the peer now provide a mechanism to check the health of the process via an HTTP request. Requests to GET /healthz on the operations endpoint will complete with a status 200 OK when the server believes it is healthy. When a health check fails, the server will respond with a 503 Service Unavailable and a JSON payload indicating which component detected an issue. The types of health checks that are performed will be extended over time. FAB-12265 - Dynamic log levels The orderer and the peer now provide a mechanism to get and update the active logging specification of the server. Requests to GET /logspec on the operations endpoint will return with a JSON payload that contains the active spec. When a JSON payload of `{"spec":"the-log-spec"}` is sent as the body of a PUT /logspec request, the active logging spec will be updated. FAB-12357 - Updates to logging In earlier versions of Fabric, loggers were associated with named components and configuration would control the active level of each logger. While this model works in theory, because of the configuration management libraries used by Fabric and the structure of the Fabric code base, in practice it had a number of issues. With 1.4, we're changing the model slightly. Instead of associating loggers with components, we are naming loggers and to help avoid side effects during initialization, the logging configuration is no longer obtained from the fabric configuration system but from environment variables that define the logging specification and log format. The log specification is a single string that consists of colon separated tokens. Each token declares one or more logger name prefixes (separated by commas) and an optional log level. When the logger name prefix ends with a period, it indicates that the log level should only apply to the logger with that exact name without the trailing period. When the logger name pattern is omitted, it specifies the default log level. In cases where multiple entries reference the same name pattern or multiple instances of a default are provided, the last specification takes precedence. FAB-12363 - Logging for gRPC interactions The orderer and the peer now provide logging (INFO level) for each gRPC interaction completed. FAB-12372 - Obtain Go routine stacks without termination When SIGUSR1 is received by the peer or the orderer, the state of all go routines will be captured and logged at the INFO level. This collection activity will not terminate the process. FAB-5093 - Private data reconciliation Allows peers for organizations that are added to private data collections to retrieve the private data for prior transactions to which they now are entitled. This feature is only supported on peers that have joined a channel since v1.4. FAB-11409 - Private data client access control Ability to automatically enforce access control within chaincode based on the client organization collection membership without having to write specific chaincode logic. This feature is configured by using the collection configuration property memberOnlyRead:true. If you have a mixed network of v1.4 peers and prior release peers, the prior release peers will not honor this configuration until they are upgraded to v1.4. Changes, Known Issues, and Workarounds -------------------------------------- FAB-12357 - Updates to logging Instead of using logging.level and CORE_LOGGING_LEVEL to control the logging level for the peer, and General.LogLevel or ORDERER_GENERAL_LOGLEVEL to control logging at the orderer, both processes now use the FABRIC_LOGGING_SPEC environment variable to acquire the initial logging specification for the server. Existing logging configuration should be converted to the new model. FAB-12489 - peer logging command updates The `getlevel`, `setlevel`, and `revertlevels` subcommands of the `peer logging` command are deprecated and users should migrate to the operations server. The behavior of `setlevel` has also changed slightly. The previous implementation would treat the `logger` argument as a regular expression and apply the new log level to all loggers that matched the expression. The updated implementation treats the `logger` argument as a logger name and appends it to the active logging spec at the indicated level. FAB-12088 - Java chaincode support on s390 architecture Java chaincode support is not yet available on s390 architecture.
