Sharjila B (v1.13.10)

This release is equivalent to v1.13.9, just contains a version bump. The reason is that a bad commit was tagged on 1.13.9 originally and whilst it was untagged and fixed, some caches (Go's package manager (go mod)) managed to store the temporary bad version. As there is no way for us to flush the bad version out, it's cleaner to tag a next version instead. Apologies about the mess.

This release fixes a few issues and enables the Cancun upgrade for the Goerli network at block timestamp 1705473120 (#28719) which is 6:32:am 17. Jan. 2024 UTC.

⚠️ If you are running Goerli, this is a required update!

Apart from the Goerli configuration update, we have a few other changes.

  • The 'simulated backend' in package accounts/abi/backends was rewritten. The improved version is available from the new package ethclient/simulated. A backwards-compatibility wrapper remains in the old location. (#28202)
  • Fix ABI-encoding of negative big.Int in topics (#28764)
  • In JSON logging output, the "error" level is now correctly emitted as "error". (#28774, #28780)
  • Fixed an issue with configuration of stdlib package log for consumers of the geth library (#28747)
  • geth removedb can now be run non-interactively (#28725)
  • We're building a package for ubuntu 23.10: mantic minotaur now (#28728)

Testing

  • Add currentExcessBlobGas to the state tests for better coverage of state tests (#28735)
  • Fixed an issue in t8n regarding blob gas usage (#28735)

For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.13.9 release milestone.

Patavig (v1.13.8)

This is a hotfix release for a regression which affects v1.13.6 and v1.13.7: if the node is shut down during sync, the node will refuse to start, with the error message Fatal: Failed to register the Ethereum service: waiting for sync (#28718, #28724).

Please also see the release notes for v1.13.6 and v1.13.7

We're issuing this release to fix an issue with our build pipeline. There are also some other changes:

  • The eth_sendTransaction RPC method now behaves more correctly for low-fee transactions. (#27834)
  • We have upgraded the golang.org/x/crypto module dependency. The Go team has issued a new version to fix a vulnerability in the ssh package. While we do not use this package, we have upgraded the dependency in order to stop dependabot warnings. (#28702)

Porolan (v1.13.6)

Geth v1.13.6 is a scheduled maintenance release, but it also contains some changes which might affect node operators, concerning logging.

Gas estimation changes

The gas estimator was heavily reworked (#28600, #28618). The new version runs quite a bit faster (normally completing in 7-8 attempts rather than 18-20). However, the results have an error ratio of 1.5%, and the estimation outcome won't always be deterministic.

Logging changes

In the absence of an 'official' Go logging framework, go-ethereum has, for a very long time, used a custom in-house logger. However, just such an 'official' Go logging framework has now arrived, with the slog package.

As of v1.13.6 , geth now uses slog, which will affect Geth users in different ways.

Main changes are as follows:

  • Verbosity level constants are changed to match slog constant values. Internal translation is done to make this opaque to the user and backwards compatible with existing --verbosity and --vmodule options.
  • --log.backtraceat and --log.debug are removed.
  • Removes interface log.Format and the method log.FormatFunc,
  • Unexports TerminalHandler.TerminalFormat formatting methods (renamed to TerminalHandler.format)
  • Removes the notion of log.Lazy values

The external-facing API is largely the same as the existing Geth logger. Method signatures remain unchanged. A small semantic difference is that a Handler can only be set once per Logger and not changed dynamically. This just means that a new logger must be instantiated every time the handler of the root logger is changed.

For users of the github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/log package: If you were using this package for your own project, you will need to change the initialization. If you previously did

    log.Root().SetHandler(log.LvlFilterHandler(log.LvlInfo, log.StreamHandler(os.Stderr, log.TerminalFormat(true))))

You now instead need to do

    log.SetDefault(log.NewLogger(log.NewTerminalHandlerWithLevel(os.Stderr, log.LevelInfo, true)))

The lazy handler was useful in the old log package, since it could defer the evaluation of costly attributes until later in the log pipeline. Thus, if the logging was done at 'Trace', we could skip evaluation if logging only was set to 'Info'. With the move to slog, this way of deferring evaluation is no longer needed, since slog introduced 'Enabled'. Thus the caller can do the evaluate-or-not decision at the callsite, which is much more straight-forward than dealing with lazy reflect-based evaluation.

See more about reasoning here: #28558 (comment)

More detailed information can be found in the PRs #28187, #28621, #28622 )

Archanes (v1.13.4)

Geth v1.13.4 is a non-urgent hotfix release. The previous version of Geth (v1.13.3) introduced a warning log for bad transaction announcements, and on mainnet it generated too much logging noise due to a protocol violation in Erigon. To prevent overwhelming logging systems, Geth v1.13.4 lower the log to a more reasonable level until the bug in Erigon is fixed #28356.

Apart from the above reason, the release contains:

  • Fix a snap sync corner-case that could cause a hang by a maliciously constructed contract storage (#28306).
  • Update various dependencies to unstick versions of Go libs (#28329, #28333, #28334, #28332, #28336).
  • Enable Pebble database support on 32bit platforms and on OpenBSD too (#28335).
  • Fix returning the correct code hash for eth_getProof with empty storage (#28357).
  • Simplify trie range prover for some upcoming snap sync optimisations (#28311).
  • Fix a timeout mechanism in the transaction fetcher (#28220).

Armeni (v1.13.3)

Geth v1.13.3 is a scheduled maintenance release with various small additions and an important Pebble database fix.

  • Update Pebble to fix an occasional IO and CPU runaway, adding some debugging capabilities too (#28224, #28070).
  • Support full syncing to a specific hash without a beacon client via a --synctarget (#28209).
  • Allow configuring websocket message limits via the Go RPC client (#27801).
  • Drop support for eth/66 (Cancun will require eth/68 anyway) (#28239).
  • Lower snap missing eth protocol warning to debug level (#28249).
  • Enforce transaction metadata announcements in eth/68 (#28261).

Features related to the Cancun hardfork:

  • Implement the BLOBFEE opcode for the upcoming Cancun hard fork (#28098).
  • Enable blob transaction propagation and mining in Cancun networks (#28243).
  • Start throttling transaction retrievals to prepare for blobs in Cancun (#28304).

Phaistos (v1.13.2)

Geth v1.13.2 is a bugfix release for the 1.13 family as well as contains the Holesky testnet relaunch.

Note, if you have previously ran Geth with the old Holesky testnet configs, the new version will probably fail to start with a genesis hash mismatch error. You will need to manually delete your holesky/chaindata folder and restart. Geth did not implement special code for cleaning up the failed launch of the testnet.

  • Fix various pathdb corruption corner-cases during snap sync node restart (#28171, #28163).
  • Reconfigure the Holesky testnet with an updated genesis (#28191, #28192, #28193).
  • Remove the rollback mechanism from snap sync, unneeded post-merge (#28147).
  • Make the block parameter in eth_call optional, defaulting to latest (#28165).
  • Forget transactions previously marked underpriced after 5 minutes (#28097).
  • Fix JSON marshalling issue from ethclient retrieving block receipts (#28087).
  • Fix --bootnodes flag if the list is also configured in the toml file (#28095).
