NethermindEth/nethermind 1.4.5

v1.4.5

on GitHub

Changes:

• fixed the behaviour where invalid transactions where not accounted for in tx flooding counters
• softer approach to Geth nodes sending thousands of messages on connection by just ignoring 90% of them first - this prevents mainnet Geth disconnections invoked by Nethermind until Geth changes the tx propagation behaviour
• added an optional diagnostic network tracer which is disabled by default
• removed (again) the hardcoded 1920000 response (which may come back after fast sync testing)
• admin_addPeer, removePeer have two modes now which allow to introduce permanent or temporary changes in the static nodes
• AuRa configs updated for various fast sync modes
• sync peer pool fixes that prevent the excessive spin waits during fast sync modes
• exclusion of fast sync peer allocations from the updates reviews should prevent some edge cases causing fast sync issues
• new block producers with improved transaction selectors for Clique, AuRa
• full AuRa validator support with block producers and some edge case fixes
• debug.getChainLevel RPC metod added
• some miners addresses are recognised and displayed in logs when discovering new blocks
• staying on sync mode logs were removed (less verbose logs)
