ethereum/go-ethereum v1.14.9

Aegis (v1.14.9)

on GitHub

This is a maintenance release, but also introduces support for the new multicall spec, which is a much anticipated feature providing a eth_simulateV1 call, that takes a list of blocks and executes them as if calling multiple eth_calls sequentially. It accepts optional state and precompile overrides, as well as transfer log events. This release also ships with improved verkle support.

Command line

• Remove Goerli flag and config (#30289)

Pectra

• Implement EIP-6110: Supply validator deposits on chain (#29431)
• Implement EIP-2935: Serve historical block hashes from state (#29465)

Core

• Refactorings in the internal journaling (#28880)
• Fix a flaw in which the system halts if snapshot generation is stopped while it's not running (#30040)
• Fix potential out-of-bound issue in mempool (#30430)
• Add state reader abstraction (#29761)

Txpool

• Fetch transactions from a peer in the order they were announced in order to minimize nonce gap, causing blob txs to rejected. A special rule is applied to blob transactions: they are retrieved from the network upon reception of the announcement, as blob transactions are never broadcast over the p2p network (#30125)

Networking

• Add support for quic entry in ENR (#30283)
• fix Write method in metered connection (#30355)
• Enable discv5 by default (#30327)
• Proper handling for count=0 requests (#30305)
• Fix permissions for cloudflare deploy (#30326)
• Dial nodes from discv5 (#30302)

RPC / tracing

• support for eth_simulateV1, which allows for the simulation a chain of blocks or simply a processing a sequence of eth_calls in one go. It is the implementation of the latest multicall spec (#27720)
• Add timeout to Client.Unsubscribe (#30318)
• Add coinbase addr to js tracing context (#30231)

Misc

• Handle ABIs with contract type parameters (#30315)
• Support fixed-size arrays in eip-712 txs (#30175)
• Fix txpool deadlock in --dev mode (#30264)
• Use post-interop verkle costs (#30409, #30357)
• Verkle witness builder (#30129)

Build

• Work towards reproducible builds (#30344, #30342, #30346, #30325, #30321, #30320, #29723)
