v1.15.0

What changed?

In this version there are plenty of new changes You may find interesting like:

1. TraceStorePlugin
2. ETH/67
3. Shanghai hardfork preparation
4. Improvements & fixes in JSON-RPC, sync, metrics, networking, recovering from corruption, and more!

JsonRpc

• Add Sync stages endpoint Adds JsonRPC Debug endpoint debug_getSyncStage that reports sync stage.
• Fix eth_sendRawTransaction. returns insufficient funds when executed twice. Resolves #4829
• Fix eth_call/eth_estimateGas/eth_createAccessList to use PREVRANDAO value from specified block.

Synchronization & Networking

• eip-4938: eth/67 Add support for eth/67.
• Optimized Eth/66 implementation Use requestId instead of waiting for response from the peer. Resolves #4714
• Snap Healing Support healing of state trie during sync with snap protocol. Preparation to decommision of GetNodeData message and pre-eth/67 protocol versions on mainnet. Resolves #4324
• Fix rare issue causeing State Sync corruption. Resolves #4776
• Fix rare issues causing peers to deadlock.
• Fix Headers sync hang with negative progress.
• Fix rare issue with all peers disconnecting.
• Fix GetBlockHeaders reversed search Fix gapless reverse blockheader search. Resolves #5017
• Avoid excessive logs during Headers sync.
• Added Network.DiscoveryDns configuration option: Use tree is available through a DNS name. Keep it empty for the default of {chainName}.ethdisco.net. Resolves #4321

Shanghai hardfork preparation

• Timestamp Based Fork Activation Allows for post-merge forks to use timestamp from CL client for fork activation. Resolves #4605
• EIP-3860: Limit and meter initcode Limit the maximum size of initcode to 49152 and apply extra gas cost of 2 for every 32-byte chunk of initcode. Resolves #4588
• Add engine_getPayloadV2 Add block value to engine_getPayloadV2 result. This change allows CL clients to compare locally produced block value with builder block value, allowing for CL client to compare locally created blocks with MEV-Boost ones. Spec: ethereum/execution-apis#314

Gnosis chain

• Gnosis bootnodes Update Gnosis bootnodes to be able to sync properly on new nodes.

Plugins

• TraceStore plugin Allows to save parity like traces (trace JSON RPC module) to database during block processing and later serving them without having the state data. Makes serving relevent trace methods orders of magnitudes faster. Takes disk space. Affected methods: trace_filter, trace_block, trace_transaction, trace_get, trace_replayTransaction, trace_replayBlockTransactions. Resolves #4205 and #4143. Related PRs: #4971 Add TraceStoreConfig.DeserializationParallelization
  • Configuration:
    • TraceStore.Enabled - Defines whether the TraceStore plugin is enabled, if true traces will come from DB if possible. DefaultValue false.
    • TraceStore.BlocksToKeep - Defines how many blocks counting from head are kept in the TraceStore, if 0 all traces of processed blocks will be kept. DefaultValue 10000. Default value was chosen to have neglegible disk usage. Keep in mind that keeping full trace history on disk will take a lot of space.
    • TraceStore.TraceTypes - Defines what kind of traces are saved and kept in TraceStore. Available options are: Trace, Rewards, VmTrace, StateDiff and combinations of them or just All. DefaultValue Trace, Rewards. Default value will suffice to fully support trace_filter, trace_block, trace_transaction, trace_get methods and partial calls to trace_replayTransaction, trace_replayBlockTransactions methods. Non-default values that will include VmTrace or StateDiff will increase resource usage by a lot!
    • TraceStore.DeserializationParallelization - Maximum parallelization when deserializing requests for trace_filter. 0 defaults to logical cores, set to something low if you experience too big resource usage. DefaultValue '0'. Recommended to set to 1 or 2 on low-core public JSON RPC endpoints.

Metrics

• Gas Usage Metrics Added metrics for gas usage: GasUsed, GasLimit
• Version Metrics Added better version metric. Resolves #4860
• EIP-2159 metrics Added 4 new metrics that follow eip-2159 (ethereum_blockchain_height ethereum_best_known_block_number ethereum_peer_count ethereum_peer_limit). Resolves #4842
• Fixed Building Gauge Names.
• Fixed main metrics being wrongly updated through JSON RPC call. Resolves #4943

CLI

• Fix eth.syncing command.. Resolves #4537

TxPool

• Optimized State DB reads for accounts.

Other fixes

• Fix enode parsing when it contains DiscoveryPort. Resolves #4876
• Block Config and Mining Config separation Added separate Block creation configuration settings. Deprecated Mining configuration with added descriptions. Resolves #4836
• Fix edge case in debug_trace when memory tracing is enabled.
• DB repair on corruption Nethermind will now attempt to fix RocksDb file corruption. Requires restart.

v1.14.5

What changed?

This version is a rollback of one minor change related to Sepolia chain which resulted in unexpected regression on other chains. The issue was unnecessarily activating the SnapSync procedure on already synced nodes, that had previously configured using FastSync. This wasn't harmful for the node but was consuming resources which could have resulted in missed attestations during the processing time.
We recommend to skip version 1.14.4, and instead upgrade to 1.14.5.

v1.14.4

What changed?

Most of the improvements in this release were raised by our Community via GitHub Issues and Discord channel suggestions.

We are continuing to improve our Execution layer Client by fixing improvements raised by the community, improving stabilization, reducing the data size and UX of our Client.

Known issues

A few Nethermind users reported that Snap Sync unexpectedly activates on their already synced nodes.
If this happens we recommend that you downgrade to 1.14.3. We suspect it's only affecting nodes that initially synced with fast sync before switching to snap sync.
What happens if you don’t downgrade? Your node would eventually work correctly, but it may be overwhelmed by snap requests while processing, which could result in missed attestations. A fix is being prepared and will be deployed tomorrow in version 1.14.5.

Release Overview

• More profitable blocks post-merge
• Fixes & improvements in synchronization and networking
• Fixes & improvements in JSON-RPC: eth_getFilterLogs, parity_PendingTransactions, eth_subscribe, eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_getBlockByHash
• Optimization of disk reads and CPU usage
• First part of Shanghai EIPs

Block Construction

• Continuous block improvements until slot finishes, refreshing added transactions, allows making more profitable blocks (#4488)
• Added ExtraData configuration for post-merge blocks The default ExtraData is Nethermind, but you can set it via Mining.ExtraData config

JsonRPC

• eth_getFilterLogs returns different output for the same parameters
  • Corrected behaviour of eth_getFilterLogs to return the right logs for subsequent calls with the same filter (created by eth_newFilter) (#4771)
• Add optional argument Address in parity_pendingTransactions - Implementation, Tests, Spacing Fixes
  • parity_pendingTransactions call now accepts an argument address to filter the pending transactions originating for address (#4413)
• Fix logIndex in logs subscription - fix log index in logs subscription, adjust tests
  • Fix logIndex field in eth_subscribe - now logIndex return the same index regardless of whether it's coming back from eth_subscribe or eth_getLogs (#4733, #4633)
• The second part of eth_getBlockByNumber and eth_getBlockByHash optimization -
  • The previous release optimized requests only if the second parameter returnFullTransactionObjects was set to false. Now it is optimized for both boolean values.

Sync

• Reduce old receipts response time
  • Old receipts sync time improvement on slow IO
• Fix forward sync may stuck on slow peer
  • Fixed forward sync sometimes stuck on a slow peer
• Disable snap capability after healing instead of StateRanges

Networking

• Multiple peering improvements
  • Fix node speed does not update
  • Fix peer dropping randomly
  • Fix stuck when restarting with a new pivot
  • Fix Syncing to a Chain with Invalid Terminal Block
  • Fix peer manager keep reconnecting too quickly - adding connection delay if client disconnects (#2191, #4747)
• Drop support for old Eth protocols - eth/62, eth/63, eth/64, eth/65
  • Remove pre eth66 network protocols - This is a breaking change (#4717)
• UPnP port forwarding support
  • UPnP support - Add a plugin that allows automatic port forwarding on supporting router. Enabled by --Network.EnableUPnP=true config value.

TxPool

• Optimize deployed code filter for the state to be accessed less
  • Optimization reduces disk reads and CPU usage of the node

EVM

Added two Shanghai upgrade related EIPs:

• EIP-3651 Warm COINBASE
• EIP-3855 PUSH0 instruction added

HealthChecks

• Disable HealthChecks UI if HealthChecks is not enabled
  • If HealthChecksUI and HealthChecks are not both enabled user will see a warning and UI would not be added

Metrics

• Fixed unable to use metrics on pull mode without specifying gateway url
• Added Engine API metrics
• Added a new TxPool metric - PendingTransactionsWithExpensiveFiltering

Log

• Fixed Could not reach PushGatewayUrl error appearing in logs a lot
• Fixed peer header printed to logs without any peers
• Added time unit (microseconds) to JSON RPC report
• Fixed incorrect logs for old receipts and old bodies. The ancient barriers were ignored.

Config

• Revised product version and client id
• Changed the default setting of Merge.Enabled to true
• Added none.cfg to allow CLI configuration without mainnet defaults
  • Add an empty config file to allow configuring everything via command line flags without carrying mainnet defaults
• Added new Chiado chainspec and config

ENR

• Properly validate length (#4748)

v1.14.3

What changed?

[SYNC] Fixes in Nethermind synchronizations (#4492, #4528, #4576, #4541, #4549, #4640)
[JSON RPC] Better integration with CL clients thanks to faster eth_getBlockByNumber and eth_getBlockByHash (#4645)
[Health checks] You won't forget running CL clients anymore. Nethermind will print a warning in case of no requests from CL clients. The feature has been integrated with our HealthChecks plugin, so you will get Unhealthy status in case of no requests. You can configure how long you want to wait for CL requests by setting --HealthChecks.MaxIntervalClRequestTime (default value 5 minutes). (#4286)
[ENGINE API] Return 403 http code when authorization fails (#4516)
[ENGINE API] Bring engine_getPayloadBodiesByHashV1 up to spec. Link to spec: ethereum/execution-apis#218 (#4606)
