apache/incubator-resilientdb: Release v1.12.0

Apache ResilientDB v1.11.0-incubation (2025-02-04)

Core Improvements

• Securing Consensus Against Long-Range Attacks
  Added a proof-of-concept implementation to secure consensus from long-range attacks through collaborative mechanisms.
  (#215, closes #216)
  — Junchao Chen

• LevelDB-Based Persistent Storage and Faster Recovery
  Introduced LevelDB as a persistent storage backend. ResilientDB now loads state directly from storage and replays only missing logs on startup, significantly reducing recovery time compared to full log replay.
  (#208)
  — Junchao Chen

• Configuration Format Enhancements
  Added support for license headers in existing configuration files to improve compliance and consistency.
  — Junchao Chen

• Certificate and Key Handling Cleanup
  Removed committed .pub / .pri certificate and key files from the source distribution and replaced them with a setup-time script for key and certificate generation.
  (#228)
  — Harish Krishnakumar

Ecosystem Enhancements

• GraphQL Server and Python SDK Compatibility Fixes
  Updated the GraphQL server to support the new configuration format and fixed a GraphQL-related bug in the Python SDK.
  (#228)
  — Harish Krishnakumar

• Automated Deployment via GitHub Actions and Vercel
  Introduced automated CI/CD pipelines for deploying ecosystem tools (ResLens, Beacon, Nexus, etc.) from the monorepo using GitHub Actions and Vercel.
  (#228)
  — Harish Krishnakumar

• Automated Documentation Generation Workflow
  Added a workflow based on Pocketflow to keep documentation continuously updated as the codebase evolves.
  (#229)
  — Bismanpal Anand

• ResLens
  Enhanced CPU and memory profiling with flame graphs and real-time metrics, along with streamlined deployment from the monorepo.
  — Harish Krishnakumar, Bismanpal Anand

• Beacon
  Expanded the documentation platform with AI-generated and human-verified insights derived directly from the ResilientDB codebase.
  — Harish Krishnakumar, Bismanpal Anand

• Nexus
  Improved the RAG-based application for interacting with consensus-related documents, including books, papers, and PBFT research materials.
  — Harish Krishnakumar

• GraphQ-LLM
  Added an MCP server and HTTP API providing an AI-powered query tutor for ResilientDB GraphQL, including explanations, efficiency metrics, and RAG over documentation.
  — Harish Krishnakumar

• ResilientDB MCP
  Introduced an MCP server for direct ResilientDB operations, supporting GraphQL-based blockchain and asset interactions as well as HTTP REST key-value operations via Crow.
  — Harish Krishnakumar
