v0.11.1

[0.11.1] - 2025-10-28

This release ensures that polling the yamux controller after an error does not lead to unexpected behavior.

Fixed

v0.10.0

[0.10.0] - 2025-07-22

This release adds the ability to use system DNS resolver and change Kademlia DNS memory store capacity. It also fixes the Bitswap protocol implementation and correctly handles the dropped notification substreams by unregistering them from the protocol list.

Added

• kad: Expose memory store configuration (#407)
• transport: Allow changing DNS resolver config (#384)

Fixed

v0.9.5

[0.9.5] - 2025-05-26

This release primarily focuses on strengthening the stability of the websocket transport. We've resolved an issue where higher-level buffering was causing the Noise protocol to fail when decoding messages.

We've also significantly improved connectivity between litep2p and Smoldot (the Substrate-based light client). Empty frames are now handled correctly, preventing handshake timeouts and ensuring smoother communication.

Finally, we've carried out several dependency updates to keep the library current with the latest versions of its underlying components.

Fixed

• substream/fix: Allow empty payloads with 0-length frame (#395)
• websocket: Fix connection stability on decrypt messages (#393)

Changed

• crypto/noise: Show peerIDs that fail to decode (#392)
• cargo: Bump yamux to 0.13.5 and tokio to 1.45.0 (#396)
• ci: Enforce and apply clippy rules (#388)
• build(deps): bump ring from 0.16.20 to 0.17.14 (#389)
• Update hickory-resolver 0.24.2 -> 0.25.2 (#386)

v0.9.4

[0.9.4] - 2025-04-29

This release brings several improvements and fixes to litep2p, advancing its stability and readiness for production use.

Performance Improvements

This release addresses an issue where notification protocols failed to exit on handle drop, lowering CPU usage in scenarios like minimal-relay-chains from 7% to 0.1%.

Robustness Improvements

• Kademlia:

  • Optimized address store by sorting addresses based on dialing score, bounding memory consumption and improving efficiency.
  • Limited FIND_NODE responses to the replication factor, reducing data stored in the routing table.
  • Address store improvements enhance robustness against routing table alterations.

• Identify Codec:

  • Enhanced message decoding to manage malformed or unexpected messages gracefully.

• Bitswap:

  • Introduced a write timeout for sending frames, preventing protocol hangs or delays.

Testing and Reliability

• Fuzzing Harness: Added a fuzzing harness by SRLabs to uncover and resolve potential issues, improving code robustness. Thanks to @R9295 for the contribution!

• Testing Enhancements: Improved notification state machine testing. Thanks to Dominique (@Imod7) for the contribution!

Dependency Management

• Updated all dependencies for stable feature flags (default and "websocket") to their latest versions.

• Reorganized dependencies under specific feature flags, shrinking the default feature set and avoiding exposure of outdated dependencies from experimental features.

Fixed

• notifications: Exit protocols on handle drop to save up CPU of minimal-relay-chains (#376)
• identify: Improve identify message decoding (#379)
• crypto/noise: Set timeout limits for the noise handshake (#373)
• kad: Improve robustness of addresses from the routing table (#369)
• kad: Bound kademlia messages to the replication factor (#371)
• codec: Decode smaller payloads for identity to None (#362)

Added

• bitswap: Add write timeout for sending frames (#361)
• notif/tests: check test state (#360)
