Dec 1, 2025Delivered two major features in 2025-12 for linera-protocol: Historical Hashing Mechanism with Test Adaptation and Node Service Plugin System with Centralized Task Processor. The historical hashing replaces the ExecutionStateView hashing to address performance bottlenecks in large chain states, with test adaptations to support the new mechanism and removal of outdated tests. The plugin system enables external processes to interact with applications and commit operations, while centralizing Task Processor types to reduce duplication and improve cross-node orchestration. Tests were updated accordingly, and CI validated the changes. These efforts deliver improved runtime performance, better scalability, and a more maintainable, extensible architecture; enabling future SDK backports and easier onboarding for new contributors.
