Summary

🟢 Leap Software Status

• DUNE v1.1.0 has been released
• Ubuntu 18.04 support will be removed in advance of Leap 4.0.0 (targeted for March release)
  • Leap 4.0 will not be a consensus upgrade, so node operators running Ubuntu Linux 18.04 don't need to upgrade immediately
  • Leap will officially continue to support Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04

Technical roundtable for Antelope Node Operators

• Matthew presented an issue that came up due to some changes made in Leap 3.2 that can cause issues for node operators who don't update their configuration.
  • Documentation for Leap 3.2 will be improved to address these changes
  • Node operators who are upgrading to 3.2 should increase max HTTP response time to be equal to or greater than your max serialization time.
  • More detailed notes will follow.

Next week's topic: Nodes that are dedicated to a specific purpose

- Aaron: Read-only nodeos instances
    - On Steem there was a flag you could set when launching a node so that it would be read-only
    - Read-only to the state
    - Prevents syncing and push transactions
    - The read only nodeos instance would read from the state file of another nodeos instance
    - Greymass has servers that run many nodes instances and each needs it’s own state file
    - This would alleviate pressure off of nodes that are syncing/writing
    - More radical alternatives
        - Could the state itself be streamed into some other solution? DFuse, The Graph
    - Matthew and Thiago adds me too
- Matthew: Relay only nodes don’t need any state
    - We’ve discussed this idea some before
    - Would allow for more efficient block propagation
    - Kevin: Relevant PRs
        - [Propagate block after header validation #590](https://github.com/AntelopeIO/leap/pull/590)
        - [Parallelize Read-only Transaction Execution Design Document #130](https://github.com/eosnetworkfoundation/product/pull/130/files)

@chillsauce one correction: Ubuntu 18.04 support will be removed in advance of 4.0.0 vs deprecated in release.

Thanks for clarifying. I've updated the notes.
