Zebra's latest beta continues implementing zero-knowledge proof and note commitment tree validation. In this release, we have finished implementing transaction header, transaction amount, and Zebra-specific NU5 validation. (NU5 mainnet validation is waiting on an `orchard` crate update, and some consensus parameter updates.)
We also fix a number of security issues that could pose a local denial of service risk, or make it easier for an attacker to make a node follow a false chain.
As of this release, Zebra will automatically download and cache the Sprout and Sapling Groth16 circuit parameters. The cache uses around 1 GB of disk space. These cached parameters are shared across all Zebra and `zcashd` instances run by the same user.
See CHANGELOG.md for the full list of changes in this release.
* Rewrite PeerSet comments to split long sentences
* Replace peer set integer indexes with address-based indexes
Also improve documentation and logging.
* Security: Stop using peer addresses to choose inventory routing order
* Minor doc and code cleanups
* Stop re-using a drained HashSet
* Replace used `_cancel` with `cancel`
* Reword a comment
* Replace cloned with copied
* Update `tower` to version `0.4.9`
Update to latest version to add support for Tokio version 1.
* Replace usage of `ServiceExt::ready_and`
It was deprecated in favor of `ServiceExt::ready`.
* Update Tokio dependency to version `1.13.0`
This will break the build because the code isn't ready for the update,
but future commits will fix the issues.
* Replace import of `tokio::stream::StreamExt`
Use `futures::stream::StreamExt` instead, because newer versions of
Tokio don't have the `stream` feature.
* Use `IntervalStream` in `zebra-network`
In newer versions of Tokio `Interval` doesn't implement `Stream`, so the
wrapper types from `tokio-stream` have to be used instead.
* Use `IntervalStream` in `inventory_registry`
In newer versions of Tokio the `Interval` type doesn't implement
`Stream`, so `tokio_stream::wrappers::IntervalStream` has to be used
instead.
* Use `BroadcastStream` in `inventory_registry`
In newer versions of Tokio `broadcast::Receiver` doesn't implement
`Stream`, so `tokio_stream::wrappers::BroadcastStream` instead. This
also requires changing the error type that is used.
* Handle `Semaphore::acquire` error in `tower-batch`
Newer versions of Tokio can return an error if the semaphore is closed.
This shouldn't happen in `tower-batch` because the semaphore is never
closed.
* Handle `Semaphore::acquire` error in `zebrad` test
On newer versions of Tokio `Semaphore::acquire` can return an error if
the semaphore is closed. This shouldn't happen in the test because the
semaphore is never closed.
* Update some `zebra-network` dependencies
Use versions compatible with Tokio version 1.
* Upgrade Hyper to version 0.14
Use a version that supports Tokio version 1.
* Update `metrics` dependency to version 0.17
And also update the `metrics-exporter-prometheus` to version 0.6.1.
These updates are to make sure Tokio 1 is supported.
* Use `f64` as the histogram data type
`u64` isn't supported as the histogram data type in newer versions of
`metrics`.
* Update the initialization of the metrics component
Make it compatible with the new version of `metrics`.
* Simplify build version counter
Remove all constants and use the new `metrics::incement_counter!` macro.
* Change metrics output line to match on
The snapshot string isn't included in the newer version of
`metrics-exporter-prometheus`.
* Update `sentry` to version 0.23.0
Use a version compatible with Tokio version 1.
* Remove usage of `TracingIntegration`
This seems to not be available from `sentry-tracing` anymore, so it
needs to be replaced.
* Add sentry layer to tracing initialization
This seems like the replacement for `TracingIntegration`.
* Remove unnecessary conversion
Suggested by a Clippy lint.
* Update Cargo lock file
Apply all of the updates to dependencies.
* Ban duplicate tokio dependencies
Also ban git sources for tokio dependencies.
* Stop allowing sentry-tracing git repository in `deny.toml`
* Allow remaining duplicates after the tokio upgrade
* Use C: drive for CI build output on Windows
GitHub Actions uses a Windows image with two disk drives, and the
default D: drive is smaller than the C: drive. Zebra currently uses a
lot of space to build, so it has to use the C: drive to avoid CI build
failures because of insufficient space.

* Update versions for zebra v1.0.0-alpha.12 release
* Update Cargo.lock
* Update release checklist with latest version changes to help keep track for future releases
* Remove reference to the fact that tower-fallback was not updated
* Rename field to `wait_next_handshake`
Make the name a bit more clear regarding to the field's purpose.
* Move `MIN_PEER_CONNECTION_INTERVAL` to `constants`
Move it to the `constants` module so that it is placed closer to other
constants for consistency and to make it easier to see any relationships
when changing them.
* Rate limit calls to `CandidateSet::update()`
This effectively rate limits requests asking for more peer addresses
sent to the same peer. A new `min_next_crawl` field was added to
`CandidateSet`, and `update` only sends requests for more peer addresses
if the call happens after the instant specified by that field. After
sending the requests, the field value is updated so that there is a
`MIN_PEER_GET_ADDR_INTERVAL` wait time until the next `update` call
sends requests again.
* Include `update_initial` in rate limiting
Move the rate limiting code from `update` to `update_timeout`, so that
both `update` and `update_initial` get rate limited.
* Test `CandidateSet::update` rate limiting
Create a `CandidateSet` that uses a mocked `PeerService`. The mocked
service always returns an empty list of peers, but it also checks that
the requests only happen after expected instants, determined by the
fanout amount and the rate limiting interval.
* Refactor to create a `mock_peer_service` helper
Move the code from the test to a utility function so that another test
will be able to use it as well.
* Check number of times service was called
Use an `AtomicUsize` shared between the service and the test body that
the service increments on every call. The test can then verify if the
service was called the number of times it expected.
* Test calling `update` after `update_initial`
The call to `update` should be skipped because the call to
`update_initial` should also be considered in the rate limiting.
* Mention that call to `update` may be skipped
Make it clearer that in this case the rate limiting causes calls to be
skipped, and not that there's an internal sleep that happens.
Also remove "to the same peers", because it's more general than that.

## Motivation
This PR is motivated by the regression identified in https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/issues/1349. That PR notes that the metrics stopped working for most of the crates other than `zebrad`.
## Solution
This PR resolves the regression by deduplicating the `metrics` crate dependency. During a recent change we upgraded the metrics version in `zebrad` and a couple other of our crates, but we never updated the dependencies in `zebra-state`, `zebra-consensus`, or `zebra-network`. This caused the metrics macros to attempt to retrieve the current metrics exporter through the wrong function. We would install the metrics exporter in `0.13`, but then attempt to look it up through the `0.12` crate, which contains a different instance of the metrics exporter static variable which is unset. Doing this causes the metrics macros to return `None` for the current exporter after which they just silently give up.

## Follow Up Work
I noticed we have quite a few duplicate dependencies in our tree. We might be able to save some compilation time by auditing those and deduplicating them as much as possible.

Previously we set the crate versions to 3.x, so that the major version was
aligned with the NU version. But we want to be able to make API changes
independently of the NU schedule.
This change is mostly mechanical, with the exception of the changes to the
`tower-batch` middleware. This middleware was adapted from `tower::buffer`,
and the `tower::buffer` code was changed to implement its own bounded queue,
because Tokio 0.3 removed the `mpsc::Sender::poll_send` method. See
ddc64e8d4d
for more context on the Tower changes. To match Tower as closely as possible
in order to be able to upstream `tower-batch`, those changes are copied from
`tower::Buffer` to `tower-batch`.
This addresses at least three pain points:
- we were affected by bugs that were already fixed in git, but not in
the released crate;
- we can use service combinators to transform requests and responses;
- we can use the hedge middleware.
The version in git is still marked as 0.3.1 but these changes will be
part of tower 0.4: https://github.com/tower-rs/tower/issues/431
We had a brief discussion on discord and it seemed like we had consensus on the
following versioning policy:
* zebrad: match major version to NU version, so we will start by releasing
zebrad 3.0.0;
* zebra-* libraries: start by matching zebrad's version, then increment major
versions of each library as we need to make breaking changes (potentially
faster than the zebrad version, always respecting semver but making no
guarantees about the longevity of major releases).
This commit sets all of the crate versions to 3.0.0-alpha.0 -- the -alpha.0
marks it as a prerelease not subject to perfect adherence to compatibility
guarantees.
Failure uses a distinct Fail trait rather than the standard library's
Error trait, which causes a lot of interoperability problems with tower
and other Error-using crates. Since failure was created, the standard
library's Error trait was improved, and its conveniences are now
available without the custom Fail trait using `thiserror` (for easy
error derives) and `anyhow` (for a better boxed Error).
* Don't expose submodules of zebra_network::peer.
* PeerSet, PeerDiscover stubs.

* Initial work on PeerSet.
This is adapted from the MIT-licensed tower-balance implementation.
* Use PeerSet in the connect stub.
* Fix authorship, license information.
I *thought* I had done a sed pass over the Cargo defaults when doing
repository initialization, but I guess I missed it or something.
Anyways, fixed now.
Add a tower-based peer implementation.
Tower provides middleware for request-response oriented protocols, while Bitcoin/Zcash just send messages which could be interpreted either as requests or responses, depending on context. To bridge this mismatch we define our own internal request/response protocol, and implement a per-peer event loop that scans incoming messages and interprets them either as requests from the remote peer to our node, or as responses to requests we made previously. This is performed by the `PeerService` task, and a corresponding `PeerClient: tower::Service` can send it requests. These tasks are themselves created by a `PeerConnector: tower::Service` which dials a remote peer and performs a handshake.
This provides a significantly cleaner API to consumers, because it
allows using adaptors that convert a TCP stream to a stream of messages,
and potentially allows more efficient message handling.
Because we want to be able to read messages from async sources (like a
tcp socket), we need to have at least async header parsing logic, so
that we can correctly determine how many bytes to await to parse each
message, so it makes sense for the entire message parsing functions
to be async.
Because we perform message serialization into async readers and writers
in the context of sending messages over the network, code using these
functions is more clear with these names.
