 # Lotus changelog
 
-# UNRELEASED
-- Add `EthGetBlockReceipts` RPC method to retrieve transaction receipts for a specified block. This method allows users to obtain Ethereum format receipts of all transactions included in a given tipset as specified by its Ethereum block equivalent. ([filecoin-project/lotus#12478](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12478))
-- Legacy/historical Drand lookups via `StateGetBeaconEntry` now work again for all historical epochs. `StateGetBeaconEntry` now uses the on-chain beacon entries and follows the same rules for historical Drand round matching as `StateGetRandomnessFromBeacon` and the `get_beacon_randomness` FVM syscall. Be aware that there will be some some variance in matching Filecoin epochs to Drand rounds where null Filecoin rounds are involved prior to network version 14. ([filecoin-project/lotus#12428](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12428)).
-- chore: bump go-libp2p to v0.35.5 ([filecoin-project/lotus#12511](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12511))
+# Node v1.29.2-rc1 / 2024-09-27

([filecoin-project/lotus#12478](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12478))
+- **Dependency Update:** Upgraded go-libp2p to version v0.35.5 ([filecoin-project/lotus#12511](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12511))
+- **Bug Fix:** Legacy/historical Drand lookups via `StateGetBeaconEntry` now work again for all historical epochs. `StateGetBeaconEntry` now uses the on-chain beacon entries and follows the same rules for historical Drand round matching as `StateGetRandomnessFromBeacon` and the `get_beacon_randomness` FVM syscall.
