Mainnet Release v2.3.0 Kṛttikā

[andrevmatos]

🧭 New Raiden Light Client SDK, dApp and CLI

INFO: The Light Client SDK, CLI and dApp are all work in progress projects. All three projects have been released for mainnet and all code is available in the Light Client repository. As this release still has its limitations and is a beta release, it is crucial to read this readme including the security notes carefully before using the software.

This is a maintenance release for the stable mainnet Krttika release (v2). While current master branch contains development progress for the new raiden-contracts v0.50, with changes required to allow Raiden to run properly on rollups like Arbitrum, these contracts won't be immediately deployed to Ethereum Mainnet (Homestead) or be the default contracts on testnets (like Goerli).

But these networks are still supported on the v2 branch, and this release backports some refactorings, bugfixes and dependency updates from master back to v2 series (v0.40 contracts) in a fully backwards compatible manner, so no user action is needed.

Highlights

The main feature of this backports release is the coming of the Raiden webUI as an optional interface for the CLI. Not to be confused with the Light-Client dApp, which is a standalone web Raiden client running in the browser, the webUI requires a Raiden REST API-capable client running in the background, and provides a web management interface to the underlying full node. It was initially designed for the Python Client, but with the CLI's API achieving full compatibility with the reference implementation, it became possible to run the webUI as a drop-in addon. Run the CLI with --web-ui to enable it, and then go to http://localhost:5001/ui to see it in action.

Fixed

• [Can't get it to run on arm64 (apple m1) #3135] Fixed some native dependencies to allow installing and running in ARM64 processors (e.g. Apple's M1 computers)

Changed

• [Mainnet Release v2.3.0 Kṛttikā #3160] Backport v3.1.0 improvements to v2 series (supporting raiden-contracts v0.40 Coruscant and Ethereum Mainnet). Notably, --web-ui option is available on v2 Mainnet series.
