Summary

This is a maintenance release that addresses several issues.

What’s New

• Pruning is no longer blocked if a domain is inactive.

• The repair service didn’t properly communicate removal of contract keys for a contract that was purged and it now does.

• Resolved a memory leak in the metrics associated with the gRPC statistics.

• PQS changed its gRPC buffer configuration to improve its memory profile for customers with very large transaction sizes. 

Download and Installation

The Daml 2.8.8 SDK has been released. You can install it using the command:  daml install 2.8.8.

The table below lists how you can download Daml Enterprise or individual components.

If you are using Oracle JVM and testing security provider signatures, note that the Canton JAR file embeds the Bouncy Castle provider as a dependency. To enable the JVM to verify the signature, put the bcprov JAR on the classpath before the Canton standalone JAR.  For example:

java -cp bcprov-jdk15on-1.70.jar:canton-with-drivers-2.8.8-all.jar com.digitalasset.canton.CantonEnterpriseApp

Note: These Docker images are designed to be suitable for production use, with minimal size and attack surface. Minimal images can sometimes make debugging difficult (e.g. no shell in the containers). For convenience, we provide “debug” versions of each of the above images, which you can access by appending “-debug” to the image tag (e.g. digitalasset-docker.jfrog.io/http-json:2.8.8-debug).
