v0.5.30
v0.5.30
Note for orchestrators: This release is known to have an issue with transcoding certain types of video that was not present in v0.5.29. We recommend orchestrators to stick with the v0.5.29 release for now prior to this issue being resolved in the next release
This release includes support for Netint transcoding hardware, dynamic timeouts for Orchestrator discovery, protection against rounds with a zero block hash and a number of small Orchestrator bug fixes.

v0.5.29
v0.5.29
This release is a fast follow release for v0.5.28 with a few bug fixes including a fix for a nil pointer error when parsing block header logs that could cause the node to crash and a fix for displaying the global LPT supply and participation rate in livepeer_cli.
This release also includes a darwin arm64 build and darwin/linux binaries compiled using Go 1.17.6.
Breaking Changes 🚨🚨
- The
segment_transcoded_appeared_totalandtranscode_latency_secondsmetrics are removed because they were tracked per transcoding profile and the node already tracks the overall version of the metrics - The
upload_time_secondsanddiscovery_errors_toatlmetrics are tracked per orchestrators instead of per stream

v0.5.28
Summary
This release supports connecting to Arbitrum Mainnet using the -network arbitrum-one-mainnet flag after the L1 Ethereum block 14207040 which is the block at which LIP-73 i.e. the Confluence upgrade will be activated. Prior to this block, running the node wtih -network arbitrum-one-mainnet will result in a startup error so it is recommended to wait until after block 14207040 to run the node with the -network arbitrum-one-mainnet flag. We strongly encourage all node operators to upgrade to this release so they can connect to Arbitrum Mainnet after the LIP-73 block.
Additional updates in this release include various improvements to compatibility with Arbitrum networks as well as the initial groundwork for enabling H.265/HEVC encoding/decoding and VP8/VP9 decoding jobs on the network.

v0.5.24
Summary
This is a fast follow patch release for v0.5.24 to fix a bug that caused orchestrators to return errors right after a transaction is submitted resulting in the previously active streams to be re-routed from the orchestrators. If you are running an orchestrator you should upgrade to this release as soon as possible.
In order to fix this bug, the feature from v0.5.24 that set the maxFeePerGas of transactions to -maxGasPrice is temporarily disabled and will be re-enabled in the next release. The node will continue not submitting transactions if the current expected gas price for a transaction exceeds -maxGasPrice, but due to the disabling of the aforementioned feature, it is possible for a transaction to be mined at a gas price higher than -maxGasPrice if the gas price increases quickly after the node performs its -maxGasPrice check. The next release will ensure that a transaction cannot be mined at a gas price higher than -maxGasPrice.

v0.5.23
Summary
This release includes an important fix for a memory leak that can be triggered when using the CUDA MPEG-7 video signature capability (when using a Nvidia GPU), which is used for fast verification, for orchestrators/transcoders. If you are running an orchestrator or transcoder you should upgrade to this release as soon as possible.
Additional highlights of this release:
- Support for running fast verification on broadcasters
- Support for configuring
livepeerusing a file. See the docs for instructions on using a configuration file - An improvement to the failover behavior in split orchestrator + transcoder setups in the scenario where a transcoder crashes
- Ensure that the the fee per gas for a transaction never exceeds the value set for
-maxGasPrice

v0.5.22
Summary
This release includes an important MPEG-7 video signature capability fix, which is used for fast verification, for orchestrators/transcoders running on Windows. If you are running an orchestrator or transcoder on Windows you should upgrade to this release as soon as possible.
Additional highlights of this release:
- Support for EIP-1559 (otherwise known as type 2) Ethereum transactions which results in more predictable transaction confirmation times, reduces the chance of stuck pending transactions and avoids overpaying in gas fees. If you are interested in additional details on the implications of EIP-1559 transactions refer to this resource.
- An improvement in ticket parameter generation for orchestrators to prevent short lived gas price spikes on the Ethereum network from disrupting streams.
- The node will automatically detect if the GPU enters an unrecoverable state and crash. The reason for crashing upon detecting an unrecoverable GPU state is that no transcoding will be possible in this scenario until the node is restarted. We recommend node operators to setup a process for monitoring if their node is still up and starting the node if it has crashed. For reference, a bash script similar to this one can be used to automate restarts of the node in the event of a crash.
Thanks to everyone that submitted bug reports and assisted in testing!

v0.5.21
Summary
This release includes a new orchestrator/transcoder MPEG-7 video signature capability which is required for broadcasters to run transcoding verification. The MPEG-7 video signatures are used as perceptual hashes in a "fast verification" algorithm that is described in the Fast and Full Transcoding Verification design. If a CPU is used for transcoding, the video signature computation will occur on the CPU. If a GPU is used for transcoding (i.e. the -nvidia flag is used), the video signature computation will occur on the GPU. Orchestrators and transcoders should upgrade to this release as soon as possible to ensure that they will be able to continue serving broadcasters that run fast verification (the complete broadcaster implementation will be shipped at a later date).
Orchestrators and transcoders should also make note of the breaking change in this release that drops support for Nvidia GPUs from the Kepler series.
Thanks to everyone that submitted bug reports and assisted in testing!
Breaking Changes 🚨🚨
- #2027 Nvidia GPUs belonging to the Kepler series (GeForce 600, 700 series) and older, are no longer supported by go-livepeer. Cuda 11 is needed for newer GPUs, which only supports the Maxwell series or newer.
