Release 3.1.0.0.3

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements, such as the stacks-signer binary will no longer accept messages for blocks from different reward cycles.
This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

Everyone running the stacks-signer binary is strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release.

For signers, there is an additional configuration change that is recommended for this upgrade.
This change configures your signer to allow tenure extensions after 2 minutes of idle time, aligning with the behavior of the majority of other signers.
In the stacks-signer config TOML file, set the following value

tenure_idle_timeout_secs = 120

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.1.0.0.3.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.1.0.0.3.0.

Added

• Add tenure_timeout_secs to the miner for determining when a time-based tenure extend should be attempted.
• Added configuration option block_proposal_max_age_secs under [connection_options] to prevent processing stale block proposals
• Introduced the block_proposal_max_age_secs configuration option for signers, enabling them to automatically ignore block proposals that exceed the specified age in seconds.

Changed

• The RPC endpoint /v3/block_proposal no longer will evaluate block proposals more than block_proposal_max_age_secs old
• When a transaction is dropped due to replace-by-fee, the /drop_mempool_tx event observer payload now includes new_txid, which is the transaction that replaced this dropped transaction. When a transaction is dropped for other reasons, new_txid is null. #5381
• Nodes will assume that all PoX anchor blocks exist by default, and stall initial block download indefinitely to await their arrival (#5502)
• Improvements to the stale signer cleanup logic: deletes the prior signer if it has no remaining unprocessed blocks in its database
• Signers now listen to new block events from the stacks node to determine whether a block has been successfully appended to the chain tip

Fixed

• Signers no longer accept messages for blocks from different reward cycles (#5662)
