21.1.0-RC1

21.1.0 Breaking Changes

• --skip-pow-validation-enabled is now an error with block import --format JSON. This is because the JSON format doesn't include the nonce so the proof of work must be calculated.
• eth_call will not return a JSON-RPC result if the call fails, but will return an error instead. If it was for a revert the revert reason will be included.
• eth_call will not fail for account balance issues by default. An parameter "strict": true can be added to the call parameters (with to and from) to enforce balance checks.

Additions and Improvements

• Removed unused flags in default genesis configs #1812
• --skip-pow-validation-enabled is now an error with block import --format JSON. This is because the JSON format doesn't include the nonce so the proof of work must be calculated. #1815
• Added a new CLI option --Xlauncher to start a mainnet launcher. It will help to configure Besu easily.
• Return the revert reason from eth_call JSON-RPC api calls when the contract causes a revert. #1829
• Added chainId, publicKey, and raw to JSON-RPC api calls returning detailed transaction results. #1835

Bug Fixes

• Ethereum classic heights will no longer be reported in mainnet metrics. Issue #1751 Fix #1820
• Don't enforce balance checks in eth_call unless explicitly requested. Issue #502 Fix #1834

Early Access Features
