This is a minor release, fixing a couple of issues and enabling the Shanghai upgrade on Goerli at block timestamp 1678832736 (#26795).
⚠️ If you are running Goerli, this is a required update.
Minimum Go version
In accordance with our policy to only support the newest two versions of Go, we have changed the minimum required compiler version to Go 1.19 (#26803).
Pebble
In v1.11.0 we released Pebble support (guarded by the --db.engine=pebble flag). Thanks to everyone testing it! We found and fixed a few issues:
- You can now set more than 4 GB in
--cachewhen using Pebble. (#26776) - Range compaction now works correctly for Pebble. (#26771)
- Pebble support is disabled on OpenBSD to resolve a compilation error. (#26801)
RPC changes
- Add support for Parity-style flat traces with the new built-in
flatCallTracer. (#26377) - The
callTracernow reports anulladdress for failed contract creation operations. (#26779) headanddifficultyhave been removed inadmin_peerInforesponses. (#26804)
Other fixes
types.Receiptnow contains theEffectiveGasPriceof the transaction, so you can get the true gas price using theTransactionReceiptmethod of ethclient. (#26713)- ethclient no longer panics when requesting missing blocks. This fixes a regression introduced in v1.11.2. (#26817)
- ethclient now returns block withdrawals, if present. (#26778)
- During building of new blocks, failed transactions no longer count towards used block gas, improving block space utilization. (#26799)
- Faster crawling time for the DNS crawler (#26685)
- Use the last announced finalized block instead of LES CHT for the ancient limit (#26685)
- CPU usage metrics (
geth.system/cpu/*) are more accurate (#26793)
For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.11.3 release milestone.
