🚀 wotrlay v0.2.x is here
As wotrlay matures, we've identified and addressed edge cases where transient issues could temporarily affect user buckets. Timeouts, rate limits, and network conditions sometimes caused the relay to handle cache refreshes less gracefully than intended, which could result in users being downgraded when they shouldn't have been.
v0.2.x resolves this. The relay now preserves cached rank data when encountering these edge cases, ensuring users can continue publishing without issues. We've also replaced IP-based rate limiting for rank lookups with an approach that no longer penalizes users behind VPNs, and improved response handling to be more robust under real-world conditions.
We've also added a special condition for event kinds 0, 3, 10002, 10040, and 30382, which are now always accepted and are not affected by the rate limiting of the bucket algorithm.
For operators: just upgrade.
For users: your posting ability now stays consistent regardless of previously unhandled edge cases.
Docker builds are leaner and faster too.
Building reliable WoT infrastructure means continuously observing, fixing, and improving. v0.2.x represents that ongoing commitment 🫂
