Additions and Improvements
- Remove deprecated Goerli testnet #7049
- Default bonsai to use full-flat db and code-storage-by-code-hash #6984
- New RPC methods miner_setExtraData and miner_getExtraData #7078
- Disconnect peers that have multiple discovery ports since they give us bad neighbours #7089
Upcoming Breaking Changes
- Version 24.5.x will be the last series to support Java 17. Next release after versions 24.5.x will require Java 21 to build and run.
- Receipt compaction will be enabled by default in a future version of Besu. After this change it will not be possible to downgrade to the previous Besu version.
- PKI-backed QBFT will be removed in a future version of Besu. Other forms of QBFT will remain unchanged.
Known Issues
- [Frequency: occasional < 10%] Chain download halt. Only affects new syncs (new nodes syncing from scratch). Symptom: Block import halts, despite having a full set of peers and world state downloading finishing. Generally restarting besu will resolve the issue. We are tracking this in #6884
Bug fixes
- Fix parsing
gasLimitparameter when its value is >Long.MAX_VALUE#7116 - Skip validation of withdrawals when importing BFT blocks since withdrawals don't apply to BFT chains #7115
