This release includes several critical updates and enhancements, such as support for the Prometheus metrics endpoint in signer, deprecation of the `snapshot` command in the client CLI, full Pallas-based implementation of the chain observer, and support for Cardano node v.8.9.0. + +The team continued implementing the certification of Cardano transactions in Mithril networks. They focused on scaling the signature and proof generation for `mainnet`, kept implementing a more versatile beaconing mechanism, reducing the latency of transactions signature, and continued investigating a bug in the block parser that prevents some Conway transactions from being signed. Additionally, they started working on a prototype to decentralize signer registration with the relay and a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. + +Finally, the team completed the implementation of some community-requested features to verify the output folder structure made by the client, and kept investigating a source of flakiness in the CI end-to-end test. + +## Low level overview +- Released the new distribution [`2412.0`](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril/releases/tag/2412.0) +- Publication of a [dev blog post](https://mithril.network/doc/dev-blog/2024/03/26/mithril-signer-prometheus-endpoint) about the **Mithril signer Prometheus endpoint release** +- Publication of a [dev blog post](https://mithril.network/doc/dev-blog/2024/03/26/client-cli-deprecated-command) about the **Mithril client CLI `snapshot` command deprecation** +- Completed the issue **Implement a Block Range Merkle Tree for `Cardano Transactions`** [#1533](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril/issues/1533) +- Completed the issue **Do not require the mithril client to create the DB directory** [#1572](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril/issues/1572) +- Worked on the issue **Support multiple beacon types in signer/aggregator** [#1562](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril/issues/1562) +- Worked on the issue **Mithril relay broadcasts signer registrations with P2P PubSub** [#1587](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril/issues/1587) +- Worked on the issue **Provide fake aggregator data in an aggregated form** [#1594](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril/issues/1594) +- Worked on the issue **Some transactions are not signed in `testing-sanchonet`** [#1577](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril/issues/1577) +- Worked on the issue **End to end tests are flaky in CI** [#1558](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril/issues/1558) + + +
