## v0.35.0 (2025-03-03)

### Notes

- Deprecated parameter
  - max-relay-peers

- New parameters
  - relay-service-ratio

    String value with peers distribution within max-connections parameter.
    This percentage ratio represents the relay peers to service peers.
    For example, 60:40, tells that 60% of the max-connections will be used for relay protocol
    and the other 40% of max-connections will be reserved for other service protocols (e.g.,
    filter, lightpush, store, metadata, etc.)

  - rendezvous

    boolean attribute that optionally activates waku rendezvous discovery server.
    True by default.

### Release highlights

## v0.33.0 (2024-09-30)

#### Notes:

* The `--pubsub-topic` CLI configuration has been deprecated and support for it will be removed on release v0.35.0. In order to migrate, please use the `--shard` configuration instead. For example, instead of `--pubsub-topic=/waku/2/rs/<CLUSTER_ID>/<SHARD_ID>`, use `--cluster-id=<CLUSTER_ID>` once and `--shard=<SHARD_ID>` for each subscribed shard
* The `--rest-private` CLI configuration has been removed. Please delete any reference to it when running your nodes
* Introduced the `--reliability` CLI configuration, activating the new experimental StoreV3 message confirmation protocol
* DOS protection configurations of non-relay, req/resp protocols are changed
  * `--request-rate-limit` and `--request-rate-period` options are no longer supported.
  * `--rate-limit` CLI configuration is now available.
    - The new flag can describe various rate-limit requirements for each protocol supported. The setting can be repeated, each instance can define exactly one rate-limit option.
    - Format is `<protocol>:volume/period<time-unit>`
    - If protocol is not given, settings will be taken as default for un-set protocols. Ex: 80/2s
    - Supported protocols are: lightpush|filter|px|store|storev2|storev3
    - `volume` must be an integer value, representing number of requests over the period of time allowed.
    - `period <time-unit>` must be an integer with defined unit as one of h|m|s|ms
    - If not set, no rate limit will be applied to request/response protocols, except for the filter protocol.


### Release highlights

* a new experimental reliability protocol has been implemented, leveraging StoreV3 to confirm message delivery
* Peer Exchange protocol can now be protected by rate-limit boundary checks.
* Fine-grained configuration of DOS protection is available with this release. See, "Notes" above.

## v0.30.1 (2024-07-03)

### Notes

* Before upgrading to this version, if you are currently using RLN, make sure to remove your existing `keystore` folder and `rln_tree`
and start your installation from scratch, as
explained in [nwaku-compose](https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku-compose/blob/1b56575df9ddb904af0941a19ea1df3d36bfddfa/README.md).

### Release highlights

* RLN_v2 is used. The maximum rate can be set to `N` messages per epoch, instead of just one message per epoch. See [this](https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku/issues/2345) for more details. Notice that we established an epoch of 10 minutes.

The Waku v1 implementation has been removed from this repository and can be found in a separate [Waku Legacy](https://github.com/waku-org/waku-legacy) repository.

## v0.27.0 (2024-04-19)

>  **Note:**

>  - Filter v1 protocol and its REST-API access have been deprecated.
>  - A new field of the `WakuMetadataRequest` protobuf for shards was introduced. The old shards field (2) will be deprecated in 2 releases time
>  - CLI flags `--requestRateLimit` and `--requestRatePeriod` have been added for rate limiting configuration. Period is measured in seconds. Limits are measured per protocol per period of time. Over limit will result in TOO_MANY_REQUEST (429) response.

## What's Changed

* Introduced configurable rate limiting for lightpush and store requests
* Sync time has been considerably reduced for node initialization
* Significant refactors were made to node initialization and `WakuArchive` logic as work towards C-bindings and Store V3 features

## v0.26.0 (2024-03-07)

> **Note:**
> - JSON-RPC API has been removed completely. Instead we recommend you to utilize REST API endpoints that have same and extended functionality.
> Please have a look at Waku's REST-API reference: https://waku-org.github.io/waku-rest-api
> - Support for Cross-Origin-Resource-Sharing (CORS headers) is added for our REST-API services. This allows you to access our REST-API from a browser.
> New repeatable CLI flag is added by this feature:
> `--rest-allow-origin="example.com"` or `--rest-allow-origin="127.0.0.0:*"`
> Flag allows using wildcards (`*` and `?`) in the origin string.
> - Store protocol now has a better support for controlling DB size of Postgres store. This feature needs no user action.

> **Announcement:**
>
> Please notice that from the next release (0.27.0) we will deprecate features.
>
> - We will decomission the Filter v1 protocol and its REST-API access.

## v0.25.0 (2024-02-06)

> **Note:**
>  Waku Filter v2 now has three additional configuration options
> `--filter-max-peers-to-serve=1000` drives how many peers can subscribe at once and
> `--filter-max-criteria=1000` defines what is the maximum criterion stored per each peers
>
> This release introduces a major change in Filter v2 protocol subscription management.
> From now each subscribed peer needs to refresh its living subscriptions by sending a SUBSCRIBER_PING message every 5 minutes by default, otherwise the peer's subscription will be removed.
> `--filter-subscription-timeout=300` defines configurable timeout for the subscriptions (*in seconds*).
>
> New experimental feature, shard aware peer manager for relay protocol can be activated by the flag:
> `--relay-shard-manager=true|false`
> It is disabled by default.

> **Announcement:**
>
> Please notice that from the next release (0.26.0) we will deprecate features.
>
> - JSON-RPC API will be removed completely. Instead we recommend you to utilize REST API endpoints that have same and extended functionality.
> - We will retire websockets support for RLN on-chain group management. You are expected to use HTTP version of ETH_CLIENT_ADDRESS

This release supports the following [libp2p protocols](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/protocols/):
| Protocol | Spec status | Protocol id |
| ---: | :---: | :--- |
| [`11/WAKU2-RELAY`](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/11/relay.md) | `stable` | `/vac/waku/relay/2.0.0` |
| [`12/WAKU2-FILTER`](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/12/filter.md) | `draft` | `/vac/waku/filter/2.0.0-beta1` <br />`/vac/waku/filter-subscribe/2.0.0-beta1` <br />`/vac/waku/filter-push/2.0.0-beta1` |
| [`13/WAKU2-STORE`](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/13/store.md) | `draft` | `/vac/waku/store/2.0.0-beta4` |

The Waku v1 implementation is stable but not under active development.

## Upgrade instructions

There is a new naming scheme for release artifacts - `nwaku-${ARCHITECTURE}-${OS}-${VERSION}.tar.gz`. If you use any automation to download latest release, you may need to update it.

The `--topics` config option has been deprecated to unify the configuration style. It is still available in this release but will be removed in the next one. The new option `--topic` is introduced, which can be used repeatedly to achieve the same behavior.

## 2023-05-17 v0.17.0

> Note that the --topics config item has been deprecated and support will be dropped in future releases. To configure support for multiple pubsub topics, use the new --topic parameter repeatedly.

## What's Changed

Release highlights:
* New REST API for Waku Store protocol.
* New Filter protocol implentation. See [12/WAKU2-FILTER](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/12/filter.md).
* Initial C bindings support.
* Support for Heaptrack to investigate memory utilization ([tutorial](https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku/blob/master/docs/tutorial/heaptrack.md)).

## 2022-06-15 v0.10

Release highlights:
- Support for key exchange using Noise handshakes.
- Support for a SQLite-only historical message `store`. This allows for cheaper, longer-term historical message storage on disk rather than in memory.
- Several fixes for native WebSockets, including slow or hanging connections and connections dropping unexpectedly due to timeouts.
- A fix for a memory leak in nodes running a local SQLite database.

### Features

- Support for [`35/WAKU2-NOISE`](https://github.com/waku-org/specs/blob/master/standards/application/noise.md) handshakes as key exchange protocols.
- Support for TOML config files via `--config-file=<path/to/config.toml>`.
- Support for `--version` command. This prints the current tagged version (or compiled commit hash, if not on a version).
- Support for running `store` protocol from a `filter` client, storing only the filtered messages.
- Start of an HTTP REST API implementation.
- Support for a memory-efficient SQLite-only `store` configuration.

### Changes

- Added index on `receiverTimestamp` in the SQLite `store` to improve query performance.
- GossipSub [Peer Exchange](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/pubsub/gossipsub/gossipsub-v1.1.md#prune-backoff-and-peer-exchange) is now disabled by default. This is a more secure option.
- Progress towards dynamic group management for the [`17/WAKU-RLN-RELAY`](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/17/rln-relay.md) implementation.
- Nodes with `--keep-alive` enabled now sends more regular pings to keep connections more reliably alive.
- Disabled `swap` protocol by default.
- Reduced unnecessary and confusing logging, especially during startup.
- Added discv5 UDP port to the node's main discoverable ENR.

### Fixes

- The in-memory `store` now checks the validity of message timestamps before storing.
- Fixed underlying bug that caused connection leaks in the HTTP client.
- Fixed Docker image compilation to use the correct external variable for compile-time flags (`NIMFLAGS` instead of `NIM_PARAMS`).
- Fixed issue where `--dns4-domain-name` caused an unhandled exception if no external port was available.
- Avoids unnecessarily calling DB migration if a `--db-path` is set but nothing is persisted in the DB. This led to a misleading warning log.
- Fixed underlying issues that caused WebSocket connections to hang.
- Fixed underlying issue that caused WebSocket connections to time out after 10 mins.
- Fixed memory leak in nodes that implements a SQLite database.

### Docs

- Added [tutorial](https://github.com/status-im/nwaku/blob/16dd267bd9d25ff24c64fc5c92a20eb0d322217c/docs/operators/how-to/configure-key.md) on how to generate and configure a node key.
- Added first [guide](https://github.com/status-im/nwaku/tree/16dd267bd9d25ff24c64fc5c92a20eb0d322217c/docs/operators) for nwaku operators.

## 2021-05-11 v0.3

This release contains the following:

### Features

- Start of [`RLN relay` implementation](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/17/rln-relay.md)
- Start of [`swap` implementation](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/deprecated/18/swap.md)
- Start of [fault-tolerant `store` implementation](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/application/21/fault-tolerant-store.md)
- Initial [`bridge` implementation](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/15/bridge.md) between Waku v1 and v2 protocols
- Initial [`lightpush` implementation](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/19/lightpush.md)
- A peer manager for `relay`, `filter`, `store` and `swap` peers
- Persistent storage for peers: A node with this feature enabled will now attempt to reconnect to `relay` peers after a restart. It will respect the gossipsub [PRUNE backoff](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/pubsub/gossipsub/gossipsub-v1.1.md#prune-backoff-and-peer-exchange) period before attempting to do so.
- `--persist-peers` CLI option to persist peers in local storage
- `--persist-messages` CLI option to store historical messages locally
- `--keep-alive` CLI option to maintain a stable connection to `relay` peers on idle topics
- A CLI chat application ([`chat2`](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/tutorial/chat2.md)) over Waku v2 with [bridging to matterbridge](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/tutorial/chat2.md#bridge-messages-between-chat2-and-matterbridge)

### Changes
- Enable `swap` protocol by default and improve logging
#### General refactoring

- Split out `waku_types` types into the right place; create `utils` folder.
- Change type of `contentTopic` in [`ContentFilter`](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/12/filter.md#protobuf) to `string`.
- Replace sequence of `contentTopics` in [`ContentFilter`](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/12/filter.md#protobuf) with a single `contentTopic`.
- Add `timestamp` field to [`WakuMessage`](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/14/message.md#payloads).
- Ensure CLI config parameters use a consistent naming scheme. Summary of changes [here](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/pull/543).

#### Docs

Several clarifications and additions aimed at contributors, including
  - information on [how to query Status test fleet](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/faq.md) for node addresses,
  - [how to view logs](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/contributors/cluster-logs.md), and
  - [how to update submodules](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/contributors/git-submodules.md).

#### Schema

- Add `Message` table to the persistent message store. This table replaces the old `messages` table. It has two additional columns, namely
  - `pubsubTopic`, and
  - `version`.
- Add `Peer` table for persistent peer storage.

#### API

- [JSON-RPC Admin API](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/deprecated/16/rpc.md): Added a [`post` method](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/deprecated/16/rpc.md#post_waku_v2_admin_v1_peers) to connect to peers on an ad-hoc basis.
- [Nim API](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/docs/api/v2/node.md): PubSub topic `subscribe` and `unsubscribe` no longer returns a future (removed `async` designation).
- [`HistoryQuery`](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/13/store.md#historyquery): Added  `pubsubTopic` field. Message history can now be filtered and queried based on the `pubsubTopic`.
- [`HistoryQuery`](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/13/store.md#historyquery): Added support for querying a time window by specifying start and end times.

### Fixes

- Running nodes can now be shut down gracefully
- Content filtering now works on any PubSub topic and not just the `waku` default.
- Nodes can now mount protocols without supporting `relay` as a capability
