hyperledger/besu 1.4.0-RC1

on GitHub

1.4.0 RC-1

Additions and Improvements

• Newtrace_replayBlockTransactions JSON-RPC API

This can be enabled using the --rpc-http-api TRACE CLI flag. There are some philosophical differences between Besu and other implementations that are outlined in trace_rpc_apis.

• Ability to automatically detect Docker NAT settings from inside the conainter.

The default NAT method (AUTO) can detect this so no user intervention is required to enable this.

• Added Multi-tenancy support which allows multiple participants to use the same Besu node for private transactions.

• Added TLS support for communication with privacy enclave

Bug Fixes

• Private transactions are now validated before sent to the enclave #356

Known Bugs

• Error syncing with mainnet on Besu 1.3.7 node - MerkleTrieException #BESU-160

Workaround -> Don't enable pruning when syncing to mainnet.

• Onchain permissioning nodes can't peer when using a non-validator bootnode #BESU-181

Workaround -> When using onchain permissioning, ensure bootnodes are also validators.
