Zebra 2.3.0 Release – Zcash Foundation

The Zcash Foundation is pleased to announce the release of Zebra 2.3.0.

This release includes a number of improvements to regtest mode, by adding methods to reconsider and invalidate blocks, as well as fixing a bug that was preventing some transparent transactions from being served by Zebra in regtest mode. Additionally, this release restores Zebra’s ability to mine blocks on testnet and regtest. 

We have also made several improvements to the set of RPC methods supported by Zebra to cover the required validator node use cases once zcashd is deprecated. 

Finally, the release includes the following breaking changes: 

1. The RPC endpoint is no longer enabled by default in Docker. Users who require it must follow these instructions.
2. We no longer publish Docker images tagged with the sha- or v prefixes.
3. The getblocktemplate-rpcs Cargo feature has been removed, and the functionality behind that flag is now available by default.
