rippled (XRP Ledger server) Version 2.0.1

This release fixes a few bugs. There are no new features over version 2.0.0.

• Full Release Notes for 2.0.1 (xrpl.org)

Highlights:

• Fixes unbounded memory growth when running the path_find command.
• Fixes a bug that, in some situations, results in online deletion causing delays in persisting records to disk.
• A new line in cfg/rippled-example.cfg sets send_queue_limit = 500. Consider adopting this setting in your own rippled.cfg in the appropriate stanza(s) for ws and wss port(s).
  • When the setting is not specified, the default value is 100. At 100, during times when there are >200 transactions per ledger, rippled will disconnect WebSocket clients that subscribe to the transactions stream.
  • Clients receive a disconnected message with code 1008 or a Client too slow disconnection.
  • Using send_queue_limit = 500 fixes this issue.
• Fixes an assert which could occur under heavy load from unprivileged WebSocket connections. (Assertions are disabled in release builds.)

Testing Credits

• Thanks to @sgramkumar and others for continued testing.
