v2.3.2...v2.4.0-rc.1

v2.3.2

What's Changed

• Improved Sync Times

  • Improve node sync times by increasing the buffer size and processing the RLP in parallel. This will drastically decrease the sync time during the initial sync.

• Improve block propose flow

  • Enhanced the packer flow to determine the optimal timing for scheduling the block proposal, even in cases where the parent block propagation is delayed due to various factors.

• Logs Events Bug Fix

  • Fix a bug where the logs event endpoint was returning an empty array when options are defined.

• Minor Improvements and Technical Debt:

  • Add metrics to the disco package.
  • Add bandwidth metrics.
  • Update Swagger UI version.
  • Update README.md.
  • Linter updates.
  • Verify clock offset.

Superseded by v2.3.2

v2.3.1

Important

• This upgrade requires a re-sync of the logsDB for public nodes.
• Snapshots prior to this release will no longer be valid.

What's Changed

• logIndex and transferIndex per block instead of per transaction

  • The logIndex and transferIndex have been updated to be set per block instead of per transaction. This implementation is aligned with the EVM and should improve alignment with other EVM chains. As a result of this change a full re-sync of the logsDB will be required #1140

• Add New Bootnodes

  • New bootnodes are being added to the network and in a coming release the old bootnodes will be phased out. The purpose of this is to achieve better geographical distribution and ensures that this critical infrastructure is up-to-date #1141

• Some other improvements/updates

  • Updated go-ethereum fork #1153
  • baseFee cache in the txpool #1126
  • Added more metrics #1124, #1119
