Updates

Features

• Upstream Ractor Integration: Switched to the upstream ractor implementation instead of maintaining a private fork in ractor: use upstream release #1214
• Onion & SOCKS5 Routing: Implemented privacy-focused routing protocols in network: onion & socks5 support for fiber #1228. Work is underway to finalize and merge these proxy features to enhance node connectivity and anonymity.
• v0.8.0-rc1 Release: Released v0.8.0-rc1 for acceptance testing.

Improvements & Fixes

• Gossip Protocol Fixes: Fixed gossip startup sync cursor pollution in Fix gossip startup sync cursor pollution #1227. By decoupling local and remote state, the node now accurately tracks and resumes gossip synchronization using only verified peer data.

• Inbound & Reconnect Protections: Implemented inbound and reconnect protections in Implement inbound and reconnect protections #1200. This prevents peers from consuming excessive connection and session resources, while also ensuring channel state consistency by deferring TLC updates until the synchronization process is complete.

• Observability: Expanded Fiber Dashboard monitoring capabilities, including:

  • API availability
  • Channel status
  • Liquidity distribution checks

• Acceptance Verification: Continued follow-up fixes and acceptance verification for：

  • funding
  • authentication
  • oracle-timeout handling
  • Fiber 0.8.0 compatibility

  In Pipeline

• Connection Resilience: Benchmarking and validating disconnect survivability improvements: channel: keep actors alive across disconnects #1217.

• Agent Payment Flow: Continued research and development into agent payment flows, multi-assets, cross-chain scenarios, and Fiber quick-start UX.

• Network Protection: Adding IP banning and a lightweight reputation system to mitigate DDoS-style abuse.

• Release Preparation: Finalizing DB migration and document breaking-change for the 0.8 release.

• CCH & Swaps: Summarizing the current state of Cross-Chain Hub (CCH) and possible future swap directions: Fiber CCH Summary and Future Plan #1243.
