Latest Protocol Releases

Hello xWorld!

Following our successful Polaris release, which marked the beginning of our star-themed series, small fixes and adjustments still needed to be addressed. This release contains also two breaking changes:

• Node API improvement (breaking change);
• Code size fix for VM (breaking change);
• Indexer improvements;
• Outport data provider fixes;

We continue to work tirelessly on enhancing MultiversX, and we appreciate your ongoing support and feedback. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any suggestions for improvements or if you're interested in becoming a maintainer. Now we have our planets aligned for Altair, the guardians release.

Polaris, will be the first release in this new series of star-themed releases for MultiversX. At the core of this new release, is an aim for better and more proactive communication toward the builders community, and an invitation to engage, contribute and share feedback. The new repositioning and transformation from Elrond to MultiversX was accompanied by a lot of hard work to ensure a smooth transition, new product preparations and initiatives. Our efforts were rewarded in the first month of January, when we outpaced all other blockchains in the ecosystem and scored number 1 in terms of development metrics across several fields. In short, this releases covers:

• refactor peer miniblocks data transmission;
• multiple repository code splits & rebranding work;
• crypto, snapshots, storage, API & status improvements;
• a lot of bugfixes and smaller improvements;

To fully comprehend the reasoning behind our naming and have a comprehensive understanding of what to expect, we recommend thoroughly reading the entire release details.
