v1.3.4

This release of bor contains the updated implementation of PIP-35 which enforces the min gas values to 25 gwei. These values are applicable to all networks (i.e. mainnet and amoy). Irrespective of the values set by the cli flags, they will be enforced to 25 gwei. This version also contains changes from upstream (v1.13.6) geth.

What's Changed

• core, eth, internal, miner, params: enforce 30gwei for gas related configs in bor by @marcello33 in #1264
• cmd/utils: use defined filter api instance instead of a new one by @manav2401 in #1270
• PIP-35 for amoy: enforce gas related configs by @manav2401 in #1285
• miner: log last tx hash before commit interrupt by @manav2401 in #1289
• PIP-35: enforce gas related configs for mainnet by @manav2401 in #1290

Upstream Geth Merge

• Merge v1.13.6 from geth by @cffls in #1205
• Merge upstream_merge branch to develop by @pratikspatil024 in #1254
• p2p: cherry-pick commits from geth for peering issues by @pratikspatil024 in #1267

Misc

• Update bootnodes by @anshalshukla in #1255
• Back merge master to develop after v1.3.3 release by @pratikspatil024 in #1266
• internal/cli: check for delete permissions before starting to prune by @manav2401 in #1269
• eth, consensus: refactor whitelisting related logs and improve error handling by @manav2401 in #1268

v1.3.4-beta3

This release of bor contains the updated implementation of PIP-35 which enforces the min gas values to 25 gwei. The previous enforcements which were applied to all the networks are removed and the enforcements are only applicable to Amoy network.

Note: If you've deployed previous beta releases (i.e. v1.3.4-beta or v1.3.4-beta2 which applied the values for all networks) on mainnet, the values will now fall back to default (unless explicitly overwritten).

Heads up: A new stable release with these enforcement for mainnet will follow soon in coming weeks with appropriate announcements.

Until then, kindly deploy this version only on amoy.

What's Changed

• PIP-35 for amoy: enforce gas related configs by @manav2401 in #1285
• miner: log last tx hash before commit interrupt by @manav2401 in #1289

v1.3.4-beta

Bor v1.3.4-beta is a maintenance release containing some improvements and bug fixes.

v1.3.3

Bor v1.3.3 introduces PIP-32 - Ability to prune ancient block data along with a few bug fixes and observability improvements.

Ancient block pruning

This version of bor enables node operators to prune the ancient/historical block data if required. Note that this is different from state pruning, which prunes unused/inactive state from the db. The aim is to remove historical block data (headers, body, and receipts) from the freezer database as they are no longer used for chain verification. This also means that your node will no longer be able to serve RPC queries for those blocks (RPC operators shouldn't ideally use this).

It is available as a sub-command bor snapshot prune-block [options...] and the number of blocks to keep (post pruning) is configurable via block-amount-reserved flag. More details and usage info can be found in the PR itself (#1216).

Important points to note:

• This version is backwards in-compatible if pruning is performed (at least once) on the node.
• This feature is only enabled in hash based storage scheme for now and won't work for path based scheme.

Huge shout-out to @jsvisa who initiated the efforts and did most of the implementation in bor.

Bug fixes

• eth/tracers: avoid data race when tracing block with bor tx by @easyfold in #1214
• eth: explicitly commented the code were bor could get into snap-sync mode by @pratikspatil024 in #1243
• ethstats: added error handeling in ethstats.go which prevents node to panic by @pratikspatil024 in #1249
• eth: explicitly commented the code were bor could get into snap-sync mode 2.0 by @pratikspatil024 in #1247
• Fix panic when fetching block in case of reorg by @pratikspatil024 in #1259

Observability / P2P

• eth/internal: add debug.peerStats for stats related to all connected peers by @manav2401 in #1252
• eth: broadcast block to static and trusted peers as well by @pratikspatil024 in #1258
• eth/fetcher: modify queue limits for improving sync near chain tip by @manav2401 in #1260

Misc

• build(deps): bump golang.org/x/net from 0.22.0 to 0.23.0 by @dependabot in #1225
• Merge master by @anshalshukla in #1241
• Backmerge Master to develop after 1.3.2 release by @pratikspatil024 in #1250

New Contributors

• @easyfold made their first contribution in #1214
