v0.5.18
Summary
This release includes an important fix that allows orchestrators to accurately set ticket face values (previously there were cases where orchestrators would inaccurately set ticket face values to a really low value) by discarding really low non-sensical gas prices returned by Ethereum JSON-RPC providers in the gas price monitor, reductions in the gas cost for staking actions (under certain circumstances) using livepeer_cli and improvements to split orchestrator and transcoder setups that help remote transcoders retain streams. We strongly recommend all orchestrator and transcoder operators to upgrade to this version as soon as possible to access this latest set of bug fixes and improvements.
Thanks to everyone that submitted bug reports and assisted in testing!
Breaking Changes 🚨🚨
- Payment/ticket metrics are no longer recorded with high cardinality keys (i.e. recipient, manifestID) which means those labels will no longer be available when using a monitoring system such as Prometheus
