NethermindEth/nethermind 1.8.30

v1.8.30

on GitHub

This version brings mainnet beam sync so please play around and send us feedback. Beam sync will be 2 - 3 times slower than fast sync but will allow you to execute some JSON RPC request within a few minutes from the start of the sync. If a request expires (it will do it automatically if it cannot find the data with other nodes) you can try to reissue it after a moment.

WARN: Please be aware that with 1.8.30 a sync that includes bodies and receipts may require a higher amount of RAM during the sync process due to parallel downloads of all parts of the chain. We will be targeting this issue in the next release.

[SYNC] Fast sync lag set to 2 blocks behind the head chain to better support beam sync requests for 'latest'
[SYNC] Beam sync can now use 'latest' block while the chain is syncing and this will return 'chain head - 2' block
[SYNC] Fast blocks priorities changes so we no longer assign some requests to the slowest chains
[LAUNCHER] Separated fast sync and beam sync configs. Default beam sync configs will never download historical headers, bodies, receipts.
[AURA] Fix to a reward contract issue
[CHAIN] Improved block tree startup reviews to better detect and fix any sync inconsistencies and potential full blocks gaps
[CONFIG] Pivot numbers updated for most of the chains
[CONFIG] Some configs were modified slightly to make them follow the conventions.
[LOGGING] Trace level logs now shown in magenta as dark gray was invisible on some terminals
[LOGGING] Added some additional miner infos
