Title: A new electrs is coming
Post by: PawGo on June 27, 2023, 01:07:39 PM
I have just realized a new version of Electrs has been published (https://github.com/romanz/electrs/releases/tag/v0.10.0-rc.1)

It is just a RC1 so probably we will have to wait a bit longer for the final release, but it is good project is evolving. I am curious what we may expect in v 0.10, as it is no longer 0.9 patch.
Anyone already gave it a chance and installed a new server?

Does not look like much, just a continuing update.
Might be some things that are not commented on for the 0.9.14 -> 0.10.0 change or perhaps going to Rust 2021

Has always been a minor quibble of mine in general with software, what makes a 0.0.x update different from a 0.x update.
Things like that should be buried in a readme file someplace.
And no, on the few things I do write I don't put that in there but nobody really reads & uses that code other then me.....

Looks like the main reason for change in version number was Rust and rocksbd libs update. The same was with 0.9.0rc1 (Update RocksDB to 6.11.4).

By the way I am curious what else we may expect in electrum server, I guess most of the work could be dedicated to the performance improvements only.
