@holiman holiman released this 19 Nov 13:53

This release covers quite a lot of time, and has many changes across the codebase. In particular; changes in tracing and account management, optimizations in database, trie and evm, and, as always bugfixes.

This release removes the personal RPC namespace. It was already previously deprecated, and has not been accessible by default for nearly two years. We also removed the --unlock command-line parameter, with a view towards removing key/account management from the geth binary.

  • Key management:
    • Remove --unlock command line flag from geth (#30737)
    • Remove personal RPC namespace (#30704)

    • invoke OnCodeChange-hook on selfdestruct (#30686, #30497)
    • improvements to flatCallTracer (#30539)
    • invoke tx-end hook in runtime helpers (#30711)
    • disableCode and disableStorage options for prestateTracer (#30648)

    • Fix bug with resolving a payload (#30615)

    • Run pebble in non-sync mode (#30573, #29792). This change makes quite a big difference on certain OS:es, particularly MacOSX/Darwin, where
      it has been noted that fsync is notoriously slow.
    • Use to increasing level sizes (#30602), This change makes pebble use larger files, reducing the number of files from 160K to 10K.
