Algorand Indexer Update: 2.8.0

Important Notice

NOTE: This release of the indexer REQUIRES a full rebuild with a new database.

Indexer 2.8.0 is NOT backward compatible with 2.6.5 and must be rebuilt with a new database. This release contains significant changes to unify the accounting logic used by Indexer and Algod. A side effect of this work is that data from earlier releases do not work for the new release. If you attempt to upgrade an older database, Indexer will exit with an error.

We made this decision to simplify maintenance long-term of keeping Indexer and Algod’s accounting consistent.
