1. Optimisation for eth_getStorageAt and eth_getBalance to use current plain state and state cache (if available) when executed on “latest”
2. Automatic detection of “latest” (and appropriate use of plain state and state cache) even if numerical block number is specified, for RPC queries like eth_getStorageAt, eth_getBalance, eth_call, trace_call, trace_callMany etc.
3. Correctness fix for eth_createAccessList, thanks to external contributor zzh1996 for pointing out the problem
4. Fix for support of storage overrides in eth_call, thanks to external contributor zzh1996 for pointing out the problem. Storage override also work correctly when transaction reverts
5. Add debug_traceBlockByNumber and debug_traceBlockByHash - thanks to external contributor bernard-wagner for providing the implementation
6. Correctness fix for transaction pool, sometimes proper ordering transactions was not updated.
7. New transaction “poke” functionality for the transaction pool. Designed to help operators who do not see their local transactions propagated even though Erigon logs show annoucement and broadcast. If local transaction is sent to the pool (via eth_sendRawTransaction), and it is not accepted either due to duplicate hash, or due to not enough fee bump, the transaction that exists in the pool gets re-announced and re-broadcast. This can be used as a workaround while we are investigating the root cause.
8. Updates to pre-verified hashes for Mainnet, Ropsten, change of skip analysis optimisation parameter
