Version 25.0~beta1#
Changes#
Summary#
- Version 25 introduces the following changes or new features:
Support of the Ushuaia Protocol proposal (See the protocol support section)
Deprecation of Octez packages (See the Octez packages section)
An overview of breaking changes and deprecations introduced in Octez v25 can be found here.
Protocol Support#
Version 25 is compatible with all protocols that depend on a protocol environment version up to V16. That includes the Ushuaia protocol proposal.
Deprecation of Octez packages#
Octez v25 deprecates Octez binary packages. They will be removed in Octez v26.
Instead, the new octez-manager tool (see https://octez-manager.tezos.com) will handle installation, configuration,
and running of static binaries in a more user-friendly way than source or binary packages.
Minimal hardware specifications#
Our benchmarks suggest the following minimal specs for Octez node and baker operators:
3 CPU cores: 2 needed by the node and 1 needed by the baker (arm64 or amd64/x86-64)
8GB of RAM + 8GB of swap (or 16GB of RAM)
100GB SSD storage (or similar I/O performance)
A low-latency reliable internet connection
This configuration has been tested for running an Octez node in rolling history mode. Other more specific uses may need adequate configurations. For instance:
running a node in full or archive mode requires extra storage space;
bakers participating to the DAL should consult The DAL node requirements.
Update Instructions#
This section contains update instructions specialized for the current release, handling only a few installation types that are most common or that require special handling for this version. For full instructions on updating your Octez suite for any types of installation, refer to Installing Octez.
