This is an incremental release to v0.3.7 and contains bug fix for a txpool panic issue.

This is an optional beta release and is only required if you're facing panic (due to a race condition) in transaction pool while running the recent release (v0.3.6 and v0.3.7).

Special thanks and shout-out to external contributor @thogard785 for helping in fixing the txpool issue.

• Improve locks in txpool to fix panic by @thogard785 and @JekaMas (#807)
• Bug fix in getTransactionFromBlockIndex by @0xsharma (#759)

v0.3.7

This is an incremental release to v0.3.6 and contains two important fixes about:

• bug in getting the validators set in the header verifier
• commit tx logs changed to debug level

What's Changed

• v0.3.6 fix by @cffls in #787

Full Changelog: v0.3.6...v0.3.7

Change log

1. Add traces to writeBlockAndSetHead function used for writing blocks post mining (#753, #755)
2. Dump statistics and data in case of an impossible reorg event for debugging (#754)

v0.3.4

This release contains several improvements, optimisations and bug fixes over the last release (v0.3.3).

Change log

Improvements and feature addition:

1. Added a flag rpc.batchlimit to limit the maximum number of RPC requests in a batch. By default, 100 requests are allowed from this release otherwise the requests will be rejected (#657)
