Actually use the added `Allocations` abstraction
Start using the sessions API in the validator-sets pallet
Get a `substrate/validator-sets` approximate to compiling
Not only does this follow our general practice, the latest SCALE has a
possibly-lossy truncation in its current implementation for `enum`s I'd like to
avoid without simply silencing.
Enables representing IUMT within `StorageValues`. Applied to a variety of
values.
Fixes a bug where `Some([0; 32])` would be considered a valid block anchor.
The reasoning for it is documented with itself. The plan is to use it within
our header for committing to the DAG (allowing one header per epoch, yet
logarithmic proofs for any header within the epoch), the transactions
commitment (allowing logarithmic proofs of a transaction within a block,
without padding), and the events commitment (allowing logarithmic proofs of
unique events within a block, despite events not having a unique ID inherent).
This also defines transaction hashes and performs the necessary modifications
for transactions to be unique.
This does break borsh's definition of a Vec EXCEPT if the BoundedVec is
considered an enum. For sufficiently low bounds, this is viable, though it
requires automated code generation to be sane.
I believe this was originally here as we needed to return a reference, not an
owned instance, so this caching enabled returning a reference? Regardless, it
isn't valuable now.
This is read from the BABE pre-digest when converting from a SubstrateHeader.
This causes the genesis block to have time 0 and all blocks produced with BABE
to have a time of the slot time. While the slot time is in 6-second intervals
(due to our target block time), defining in milliseconds preserves the ABI for
long-term goals (sub-second blocks).
Usage of the slot time deduplicates this field with BABE, and leaves the only
possible manipulation to propose during a slot or to not propose during a slot.
The actual reason this was implemented this way is because the Header trait is
overly restrictive and doesn't allow definition with new fields. Even if we
wanted to express the timestamp within the SubstrateHeader, we can't without
replacing Header::new and making a variety of changes to the polkadot-sdk
accordingly. Those aren't worth it at this moment compared to the solution
implemented.
Consolidates all primitives into a single crate. We didn't benefit from its
fragmentation. I'm hesitant to say the new internal-organization is better (it
may be just as clunky), but it's at least in a single crate (not spread out
over micro-crates).
The ABI is the most distinct. We now entirely own it. Block header hashes don't
directly commit to any BABE data (avoiding potentially ~4 KB headers upon
session changes), and are hashed as borsh (a more widely used codec than
SCALE). There are still Substrate variants, using SCALE and with the BABE data,
but they're prunable from a protocol design perspective.
Defines a transaction as a Vec of Calls, allowing atomic operations.
The prior-present `Ciphersuite::hash_to_F` was a sin. Implementations took a
DST, yet were not require to securely handle it. It was also biased towards the
requirements of `modular-frost` as `ciphersuite` was originally written all
those years ago, when `modular-frost` had needs exceeding what `ff`, `group`
satisfied.
Now, the hash is bound to produce an output which can be converted to a scalar
with `ff::FromUniformBytes`. A new `hash_to_F`, which accepts a single argument
of the value to hash (removing the potential to insecurely handle the DST by
removing the DST entirely). Due to `digest` yielding a `GenericArray`, yet
`FromUniformBytes` taking a `const usize`, the `ciphersuite` crate now defines
a `FromUniformBytes` trait taking an array (then implemented for all satisfiers
of `ff::FromUniformBytes`). In order to get the array type from the
`GenericArray`, the output of the hash, `digest` is updated to the `0.11`
release candidate which moves to `flexible-array` which solves that problem.
The existing, specific `hash_to_F` functions have been moved to `modular-frost`
as necessary.
`flexible-array` itself is patched to a fork due to
https://github.com/RustCrypto/hybrid-array/issues/131.
Fixes `no-std` builds for packages which intended to be `no-std` (without
`alloc`).
Updates a variety of MSRVs to 1.73 due to `flexible-transcript` no longer using
`std-shims` to achieve 1.66 (as `std-shims` requires `alloc`). A future
improvement would be for `std-shims` to have an `alloc` feature and only
provide MSRV shims without it.
