lokinet v0.9.4

lokinet 0.9.4

this release is a mandatory upgrade for service nodes, highly recommended for clients.

this release will have an accompanying release of storage server and oxend.

critical bug fixes (service nodes and clients)

• resolve inter node communication bug where multiple parallel outbound session attempts were being sent to the same remote udp endpoint causing a state race condition where establishing a new outbound session times out.

new client features

• new config option [network]:persist-addrmap-file to persist ephemeral ip mappings for inbound flows so that between restarts ip addresses dont remap for active flows, this allows tcp connections to stick between restarts.
• new config option [dns]:add-hosts to add a dns hosts file by path for client side dns filtration, i.e. adblock and such.
• allow non-standard dns port in upstream dns

client side updates

• add upper bound on parallel ONS lookups per name
• refactor some outbound snapp flow code to make it functional, total rewrite of that layer will happen soon after tag (probably).
• redo snapp flow handover logic

build system / ci

• static deps now are built in parallel
• removed old android cruft, replaced gradle build system with ./contrib/android.sh
• added flutter to android ci docker image, removed gradle from android docker ci image
• fixed typo in debian-stable ci docker image
• package jni libs in android ci pipeline
• package lokinet-bootstrap binary instead of the shell script in ci pipeline

android

• add DumpStatus native method to network.loki.lokinet.LokinetDaemon for state introspection

misc / utils

• added contrib/bencode-dump.py script for printing out bencoded files
• lokinetmon updates to match changes in RPC (removal of badIntros field)
• updates to readme.md about building from source
• we will no longer provide static linux binaries in releases, users of oxen-rancher (the only users that should even care about these to begin with) should use CI builds from the stable branch
