ethereum/go-ethereum v1.9.19

Red Janey (v1.9.19)

on GitHub

Geth v1.9.19 is our regular biweekly maintenance release. Apart from the numerous bug-fixes however, it also ships a more deterministic transaction sort order during mining (FIFO). The goal is to reduce front-runner spam which abused miner randomness for transactions at the same price level.

• Sort same-priced transactions by arrival time during mining to reduce front-running (#21358).
• Persist the trie read cache on shutdown to speed up warmup time after a reboot (#20391).
• Swap out the block fetcher of les/x to use the same mechanism as eth/6x (#20692).
• Support setting custom HTTP headers on RCP clients e.g. for authentication (#21392).
• Refactor node lifecycle management, merge GraphQL onto HTTP endpoint (#21105).
• Print enode ID of a node too when doing an ENR dump via devp2p (#21270).
• Trim the build paths to avoid leaking builder infos into the binaries (#21374).
• Limit concurrent UPnP requests to avoid crashing certain routers (#21390).

Bugfixes:

• Fix a potential data corruption by leaking out txpool internals into the miner (#21159).
• Avoid a light server doing EVM calls during handshake while it's syncing (#21425).
• Fix the trie clean cache size calculation if snapshots are disabled (#21416).
• Revert an optimization regression in the JUMPDEST analysis (#21411).
• Fix EIP 712 structured data signing corner cases (#21306, #21307).
• Fix round-trip time calculation in the downloader (#21427, #21429).
• Fix a panic in ethstats on the Görli stats page (#21404, #21434).
• Fix a hang in the initial fast-sync's state sync phase (#21433).
• Fix graceful LES server shutdown (#21426).

Note, if you were using GraphQL previously, it was moved to the HTTP RPC endpoint. The old --graphql.host and --graphql.port flags will not work any more. You might need to adjust your TOML config files accordingly too.
