NethermindEth/nethermind 1.6.3

v1.6.3 (with experimental Goerli Beam Sync)

on GitHub

WARN: we have tested everything many times but we predict that in some specific permission setups or docker scenarios the deletion of Pending Tx DBs on startup may fail or take longer time - we have ensured that these scenarios are handled properly but please pay attention to any errors displayed that warns you about no permissions to delete files / directories

CHANGES:

• this verison introduces experiment / light version of beam sync for Goerli network only - allowing you to reach the latest block in around 60 seconds (depending on initial peering) - and issue some of the JSON RPC requests (changing configuration allows to download all headers / bodies and receipts for nearly full JSON RPC support)

• improved fast sync progress display

• to launch Goerli Beam Sync you will need to start the Nethermind.Runner insted of Nethermind.Launcher and pass --config goerli_beam

• adds additional comments to CLI

• allows to run the node with ~200MB RAM less if NetworkConfig.NettyArenaOrder 5 is set

• improves peer allocations for most of the sync modes

• fixes the issues with eth_getProof on Goelri network

• fixes issues with CLI where history of commands was not loaded properly on startup

• deletes Pending Txs DB on each node start
