ava-labs/avalanchego v1.15.1

Helicon.1 - Improved Snapshot Performance

on GitHub

This version is backwards compatible to v1.15.0. It is optional, but encouraged.

The plugin version is unchanged at 46 and is compatible with version v1.15.0.

Features

• SAE VM.HealthCheck() reports a stalled executor, previously only surfaced via ERROR / FATAL logging
• Updated the minimum Go version from 1.25.10 to 1.26.8.
• Helicon is now active from genesis on local networks. A local network started on a previous version is not compatible with this version.

APIs

• Added:
  • restakedValidationRewards and restakedDelegateeRewards fields to platform.getCurrentValidators results for auto-renewed validators

Metrics

• Added avalanche_platformvm_local_delegated_staked (gauge): amount (in nAVAX) of AVAX delegated to this node on the Primary Network.
• Route all go-ethereum metrics to transition after transition, allowing use after node restart.

Fixes

• Fixed SAE re-execution of pre-ApricotPhase5 C-Chain blocks containing cross-chain transactions, which caused historical state queries to fail on some API nodes.
• Timely cancellation of snapshot generation, without which SAE block execution lags on large hashdb archives.
• New Firewood archival nodes commit genesis state on all chains.
• SAE eth_estimateGas and eth_createAccessList now include the minimum gas limit that the mempool requires for the transaction's size. Large transactions signed with the estimate were previously rejected with insufficient gas limit for tx size.
