Bor v2.0.0-beta release

Hello All,

New version of Bor v2.0.0-beta have been released for Polygon Amoy.

v2.0.0 is a new release with a breaking change in default storage scheme (see below) and a few bug fixes and improvements.

Breaking change

v2.0.0 changed its default storage scheme to path-based storage scheme (PBSS). Hence, it is incompatible with nodes that was using hash-based storage scheme (HBSS). In order for nodes that have been using HBSS continue to run, the flag state.scheme should be manually set to hash in the cli, or "state.scheme" = "hash" in config.toml.

Steps for upgrading Bor node

  1. Stop bor service

    sudo service bor stop
    
  2. Install Bor with a version tag, network name (amoy, mainnet), and node type (sentry, validator, or archive).

    # Replace the node type
    curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maticnetwork/install/main/bor.sh | bash -s -- v2.0.0-beta <network> <node_type>
    
  3. Check bor version

    /usr/bin/bor version
    
    # It should print 
    # v2.0.0-beta
    
  4. Restart bor service

    sudo service bor start
