NethermindEth/nethermind 1.8.80

v1.8.80

on GitHub

Please read https://docs.nethermind.io/nethermind/guides-and-helpers/upgrades before upgrading.

[DOCKER] Replaced Alpine with Debian as a default Docker platform which seems to be significantly improving peering and sync stability on all networks.
[METRICS] It is possible to track the block processing times now.
[BEAM_WALLET] Beam wallet is operational on Linux and MacOS but we are working on a fix for Windows OSes before announcements.
[JSONRPC] Fixed an incorrect block number passed to eth_call (number + 1 was passed instead of number)
[ANALYTICS] Added VerifySupply and VerifyRewards diagnostic modes and added sample code for launching custom analytics extensions. Changed the TrieVisitor so that the previously visited nodes are weakly referenced.
[VALIDATORS] It is possible now to configure MinGasPrice and TargetBlockGasLimit for block producers in AuRa and Clique via the MiningConfig.
[SYNC] Updated pivot files
[BERLIN] Fix BLS gas calculation for G1 multiexponentiation.
[SECURITY] It is possible now to include a list of allowed JSON RPC methods to specifically define requests that are publicly available.
