• New option to specify max database connections using --max-conn
• Verify existing database matches algod
• CLI option to provide configuration file with --configfile
• Even more enhancements to optimize import performance.
• Query optimization for certain problematic queries.

Algorand Indexer 2.6.6

Important Notice

This is a maintenance release. Do not install this over 2.8.0.

Highlights

A bug in the 2.6.5 release caused indexer to crash with the following error on Testnet:

{"error":"error in account type, previously had type lsig but got sig","level":"error","msg":"txn
accounting r=18759726 i=8, error in account type, previously had type lsig but got
sig","time":"2021-12-30T03:33:54Z"}

This issue was already fixed in 2.8.0. This hot fix will allow people to continue to run on the 2.6.x release.

Bug Fixes

• Allow unexpected changes to sig type cache. (#814)

Algorand Indexer 2.8.0

Important Notice

NOTE: This release of the indexer REQUIRES a full rebuild with a new database.

Indexer 2.8.0 is NOT backward compatible with 2.6.5 and must be rebuilt with a new database. This release contains significant changes to unify the accounting logic used by Indexer and Algod. A side effect of this work is that data from earlier releases do not work for the new release. If you attempt to upgrade an older database, Indexer will exit with an error.

We made this decision to simplify maintenance long-term of keeping Indexer and Algod's accounting consistent.

Highlights

• Complete overhaul of indexer accounting.
• Enhancements to import performance.
• Bug fixes for special cases

Enhancements

• Add a migration telling the user that upgrading to this version is not supported. (#711)
• Add error msg in rewind about inner txns. (#780)
• Add version to health endpoint. (#756)
• Adding HTTP Error responses to documentation. (#666)
• Return a 404 status code instead of 500 when a block is not found. (#719)
• Cleanup in the DB schema (#714, #717, #718)
• Support special accounts. (#746)
• Support search by zero address. (#771)
• Encode teal key-value as map in JSON (#755)
• Fetch block concurrently with import (#668)
• Improve DB indexes for better worst case accounting time (#760)
• Inner Transaction Support (#684, #721)
• Return extra program pages in app params (#696)
• Use integer for root intra in TxnExtra (#763)
• Use our own JSON handle for decoding (#765)
• Write app call addresses in txn_participation table (#770)

Bug Fixes

Algorand Indexer 2.6.3

An Important Note

This release contains an urgent fix for challenges experienced with 2.7.1 and prior versions on the 2.7.x line. It enables support for the V3 consensus upgrade, and hence we encourage everyone to either downgrade from a 2.7.x release or upgrade from prior 2.6.x releases.

Re-indexing is not necessary; data recorded by a 2.7.x indexer is compatible with this release.

Highlights

• Support AVM for V3 consensus upgrade for go-algorand off indexer 2.6.x line

Added

• Consensus protocol 3.0.0 support (#698)
• Backport AVM 1.0 DB support (#699)

Changed

• Encode the address in code instead of in the DB. (#708)
• Backport REST API changes. (#707)

Fixed

• Non-AVM hot fixes from main line addressing timeout handling and extra program pages. (#704)

Algorand Indexer 2.6.2

Highlights

• Increase the timeout to the httpServer
