Upgrading Tendermint Core
This guide provides steps to be followed when you upgrade your applications to a newer version of Tendermint Core.
v0.26.0
New 0.26.0 release contains a lot of changes to core data types and protocols. It is not compatible to the old versions and there is no straight forward way to update old data to be compatible with the new version.
To reset the state do:
$ tendermint unsafe_reset_all
Here we summarize some other notable changes to be mindful of.
Config Changes
All timeouts must be changed from integers to strings with their duration, for
instance flush_throttle_timeout = 100 would be changed to
flush_throttle_timeout = "100ms" and timeout_propose = 3000 would be changed
to timeout_propose = "3s".
RPC Changes
The default behaviour of /abci_query has been changed to not return a proof,
and the name of the parameter that controls this has been changed from trusted
to prove. To get proofs with your queries, ensure you set prove=true.
Various version fields like amino_version, p2p_version, consensus_version,
and rpc_version have been removed from the node_info.other and are
consolidated under the tendermint semantic version (ie. node_info.version) and
the new block and p2p protocol versions under node_info.protocol_version.
ABCI Changes
Field numbers were bumped in the Header and ResponseInfo messages to make
room for new version fields. It should be straight forward to recompile the
protobuf file for these changes.
Proofs
The ResponseQuery.Proof field is now structured as a []ProofOp to support
generalized Merkle tree constructions where the leaves of one Merkle tree are
the root of another. If you don't need this functionality, and you used to
return <proof bytes> here, you should instead return a single ProofOp with
just the Data field set:
[]ProofOp{
ProofOp{
Data: <proof bytes>,
}
}

Go API Changes
crypto.merkle
The merkle.Hasher interface was removed. Functions which used to take Hasher
now simply take []byte. This means that any objects being Merklized should be
serialized before they are passed in.
node
The node.RunForever function was removed. Signal handling and running forever
should instead be explicitly configured by the caller. See how we do it
here.
Other
All hashes, except for public key addresses, are now 32-bytes.
v0.25.0
This release has minimal impact.
If you use GasWanted in ABCI and want to enforce it, set the MaxGas in the genesis file (default is no max).
v0.24.0
New 0.24.0 release contains a lot of changes to the state and types. It's not compatible to the old versions and there is no straight forward way to update old data to be compatible with the new version.
To reset the state do:
$ tendermint unsafe_reset_all
Here we summarize some other notable changes to be mindful of.
Config changes
p2p.max_num_peers was removed in favor of p2p.max_num_inbound_peers and
p2p.max_num_outbound_peers.
# Maximum number of inbound peers
max_num_inbound_peers = 40
# Maximum number of outbound peers to connect to, excluding persistent peers
max_num_outbound_peers = 10
As you can see, the default ratio of inbound/outbound peers is 4/1. The reason is we want it to be easier for new nodes to connect to the network. You can tweak these parameters to alter the network topology.
RPC Changes
The result of /commit used to contain header and commit fields at the top level. These are now contained under the signed_header field.
ABCI Changes
The header has been upgraded and contains new fields, but none of the existing fields were changed, except their order.
The Validator type was split into two, one containing an Address and one
containing a PubKey. When processing RequestBeginBlock, use the Validator
type, which contains just the Address. When returning ResponseEndBlock, use
the ValidatorUpdate type, which contains just the PubKey.
Validator Set Updates
Validator set updates returned in ResponseEndBlock for height H used to take
effect immediately at height H+1. Now they will be delayed one block, to take
effect at height H+2. Note this means that the change will be seen by the ABCI
app in the RequestBeginBlock.LastCommitInfo at block H+3. Apps were already
required to maintain a map from validator addresses to pubkeys since v0.23 (when
pubkeys were removed from RequestBeginBlock), but now they may need to track
multiple validator sets at once to accomodate this delay.
Block Size
The ConsensusParams.BlockSize.MaxTxs was removed in favour of
ConsensusParams.BlockSize.MaxBytes, which is now enforced. This means blocks
are limitted only by byte-size, not by number of transactions.
