Summary

This is a maintenance release of Canton. We recommend users to upgrade to this version in order to ensure that a participant node does not disconnect from a domain unexpectedly.

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug that disconnects a participant from a domain unexpectedly

Description : When a participant disconnects and reconnects to a domain without a restart and then experiences a database error for one particular database operation it will disconnect the participant from the domain unexpectedly.

Affected deployments : All deployments

Affected versions : Canton v2.1 and later.

Impact : The participant will disconnect from the domain unexpectedly.

Symptom : The participant will disconnect with an error SYNC_SERVICE_DOMAIN_DISCONNECTED due to an ApplicationHandlerException.

Workaround : Restart the participant node.

Likelihood of the bug : The bug occurs only when a participant disconnects and reconnects to a domain without restart and hits a database error for one particular database operation.
