0.2.6 NFT Networking

0.2.6 NFT Networking

We are thrilled to announce the release of Aleph Compute Resource Nodes version 0.2.6! This update brings numerous improvements, bug fixes, and features that enhance the overall reliability and functionality of the project.

NFT in this context stands for nftables, not fancy tokens 😉.

Key highlights of this release include:

• Support for Ubuntu 22.04 as a host system
• Transition from iptables to nft, as iptables is now deprecated
• The diagnostic checks on /status/check/fastapi now include new checks for DNS and IPv4 connectivity.
• Enhanced network compliance by removing hardcoded IP ranges
• Improved documentation and additional docstrings for methods
• Various fixes to ensure error handling and network configurations are optimal
• Improved CI with updated GitHub Actions version and job names

The new diagnostic checks will help node operators debugging configuration issues when setting up new nodes.

We would like to thank all the contributors for their valuable input in making this release possible. This version paves the way for more efficient and robust aleph.im Compute Resource Nodes and for new features in progress.
