Algorand Indexer 2.6.6

Important Notice

This is a maintenance release. Do not install this over 2.8.0.

Highlights

A bug in the 2.6.5 release caused indexer to crash with the following error on Testnet:

{"error":"error in account type, previously had type lsig but got sig","level":"error","msg":"txn
accounting r=18759726 i=8, error in account type, previously had type lsig but got
sig","time":"2021-12-30T03:33:54Z"}

This issue was already fixed in 2.8.0. This hot fix will allow people to continue to run on the 2.6.x release.

Bug Fixes

• Allow unexpected changes to sig type cache. (#814)

Algorand Indexer 2.8.0

Important Notice

NOTE: This release of the indexer REQUIRES a full rebuild with a new database.

Indexer 2.8.0 is NOT backward compatible with 2.6.5 and must be rebuilt with a new database. This release contains significant changes to unify the accounting logic used by Indexer and Algod. A side effect of this work is that data from earlier releases do not work for the new release. If you attempt to upgrade an older database, Indexer will exit with an error.

We made this decision to simplify maintenance long-term of keeping Indexer and Algod's accounting consistent.

Algorand Indexer 2.6.3

An Important Note

This release contains an urgent fix for challenges experienced with 2.7.1 and prior versions on the 2.7.x line. It enables support for the V3 consensus upgrade, and hence we encourage everyone to either downgrade from a 2.7.x release or upgrade from prior 2.6.x releases.

Re-indexing is not necessary; data recorded by a 2.7.x indexer is compatible with this release.
