Overview
v0.74.0 introduces a significant experimental feature for Nonce Ordering with Locks (#4635), designed to drastically reduce WRONG_NONCE errors by ensuring transactions are processed in the correct sequence even during asynchronous operations. This release also continues the extensive enhancement of the Transaction Pool service, adding RLP hex transaction storage (#4521), encapsulating the ENABLE_TX_POOL flag for better configuration management (#4581), and introducing new txpool_* related RPC methods (#4544) to expand relay capabilities.
Operational observability and debugging have been improved with updates to the /liveness and /readiness endpoints (#4622) and a review of 200/400 HTTP response codes (#4650). To improve accuracy, the relay now removes the fallback predefined gas value for eth_estimateGas when the Mirror Node fails to retrieve an estimate (#4678). Additionally, developers can now leverage synthetic HTS transaction support in debug_traceTransaction and debug_traceBlockByNumber (#4694) for deeper insights into token operations, while internal error handling has been tightened to stop silently swallowing errors (#4758).
Finally, this release includes a robust set of bug fixes and dependency upgrades to ensure long-term stability and code quality. We have refined our testing infrastructure, including stabilizing tests by adjusting wait times for mining and price tolerance, and addressed security and performance updates across the codebase via Dependabot.
