This release contains several weeks-worth of progress in the direction of our three primary work streams: building out celestia-node's public API, hardening our header-ex, and refactoring blocksync storage (all of these epics can be viewed in more depth as they are pinned in our issues).

This release contains two breaking changes to the public API, including:

  • port 26658 is default for RPC communication with the node
  • port 26659 exposes a RESTful gateway to access node endpoints that were previously available on 26658

as well as a breaking change to the CLI for both the celestia and cel-key binaries:

  • --node.network is now --p2p.network

and a breaking upgrade of our celestia-app dependency which changes the rsmt2d codec used and fixes an issue with share splitting.
