Frankendancer Testnet v0.802.30008

This is a Testnet release. It is not suggested for Mainnet Beta use.

Release Notes

• Soft deprecated the revenue scheduler with a warning. The revenue scheduler will be removed in an upcoming release.
  • The revenue scheduler performs well when activity is low, but does not perform well when network activity spikes. We want to position Firedancer validator operators to capture the most fees when network activity is high, when it will matter the most.
  • Additionally, the revenue scheduler has negative ecosystem impacts, and the development team is aligning the software defaults with long term network goals.
• The balanced scheduler has been improved to capture more income in more scenarios, without the long delays of the revenue scheduler. The balanced scheduler has been set as the new default, and is recommended.
• Switched the default block production duration to 350ms to match Agave.
• Changes to ethtool configuration stages and defaults.
  • Renamed ethtool-gro configure stage to ethtool-offloads
  • Disable RX-UDP-GRO-FWD instead of GRO. Recommend enabling GRO
  • Disable GRE segmentation offload
  • Add auto option to net.xdp.rss_queue_mode
• Minor performance and reliability improvements to QUIC.
