v1.8.70

on GitHub

1.8.71 is the same + updated pivots

[JSON RPC] Fixed an issue with trace calls always timing out
[NETWORKING] Inreased Eth timeouts and timeouts handling for better bodies and receipts syncs
[MEMORY] MemoryHint is now applied to TxPooll and Trie cache which allows for better memory control outside of sync. Less memory can be now allocated to DB
[LOGGING] Seq can be configured via config files now
[METRICS] Not publishing unchanged metrics
[AURA] Improved full sync switches on AuRa
[PERF] Skipped allocations when calculating headers hashes in Clique
[PERF] Decreased allocations for Ethash and decreased the memory footpring of cached data caches for ethash verifications
[PERF] Removed allocations on almost all ECDSA operations
[PERF] Removed some unnecessary allocations on empty blocks during fast sync.
[NETWORKING] Decreased allocations and CPU usage and generally fixed discovery cleanups
[SYNC] Simplified receipts and bodies sync so they are safer to restart, faster, more predictable.
[TXPOOL] Fixed tx flood control issue from 1.8.67
[MEMORY] Change the default configurations of memory hints for all chains (decreased default memory usage)
