Neo Unveils Version 3.6.2

Neo has introduced version 3.6.2, an update comprising several newly integrated functionalities alongside critical enhancements aimed at bolstering the stability of the platform.

The TestNet deployment is scheduled for November 21, followed by the MainNet release on December 4.

The upgrade incorporated several enhancements and improvements, in addition to the remediation of several bugs, into the conflict transaction property that was recently introduced.

An attribute charge has been implemented for transactions that utilize the conflict functionality.

By incorporating a new terminate command into neo-cli and the RPC method, this procedure has been simplified.

By using this command, users can terminate transactions currently in the mempool that have not yet been committed to a block.

For developers to obtain the signatories of the currently active transaction, a new system function has been introduced; additionally, the native contract of the StdLib library now includes the StrLen method.

To mitigate apprehensions about the stability of the system, several bugs affecting the core, as well as several modules, were rectified.

Illustrative instances encompass fixing a concern about contract trusts, resolving a dilemma concerning WitnessRules stemming from the lack of a JSON max depth safeguard, and ensuring serialization is validated throughout the contract deployment and modification processes.

Due to alterations made to the native contracts, a full resynchronization of all data is necessary before implementing the update for node operators.

One of the foremost objectives on the roadmap for core development is the integration of improvements that will significantly reduce or eliminate the need for frequent resynchronization.
