This maintenance release integrates bug fixes and new features from go-ethereum, including snap-sync for faster peer-to-peer synchronization, a new RPC method (eth_getBlockReceipts), and pre-implemented Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) such as EIP-1153 and EIP-3651.

What's Changed

1. The legacy fast sync mode has been disabled and replaced by the more efficient snap sync mode.

2. EIP-1153 and EIP-3651, Ethereum gas optimization proposals, have been pre-implemented to prepare for future network upgrades.

3. Nodes can now use the --snapshot.archive startup option to sync and retain full historical data for traceability.

4. A new RPC method, eth_getBlockReceipts, has been added to fetch transaction receipts for an entire block in a single call.

Important Notes:

1. Storage Requirement for Archival Data: Syncing with the --snapshot.archive option requires re-downloading the entire blockchain and at least 2 TB of free disk space.

2. Nodes that previously used the fast synchronization mode should take special note: continuing to use --syncmode fast will result in startup failure. Please switch to --syncmode snap immediately.

3. Optional Upgrade: Upgrading to this version is optional. We welcome and appreciate feedback from users who choose to upgrade.
