Geth v1.10.2 is a upkeep launch, containing bug fixes and some minor new options.

Geth command adjustments

• Mining work package deal notifications can now be modified to comprise the entire pending block header as a substitute of a piece package deal array. To allow this performance, use the --miner.notify.full flag (#22558)

• Geth will now open chain databases in read-only mode when performing instructions that ought to not modify the database. This fixes a number of instances the place indexing operations and snapshot technology would run as a part of instructions like geth examine (#22498)

• Geth now helps JSON log output utilizing the --log.json flag (#22341)

• RPC strategies ethash_submitHashrate and miner_hashrate have been renamed from their earlier incorrect spelling *hashRate (#22604)

• The GraphQL API now helps EIP-2718 entry checklist transactions (#22491)

• eth_chainId now helps chain IDs bigger than 64 bits (#22243)

• The admin_startRPC and admin_stopRPC strategies have been renamed to (begin|cease)HTTP (#22461)

• In LES server RPC APIs, the node ID can now be equipped as an enode:// URL or 32-byte hex ID (#22423)

• A number of bugs associated to interactions between chain tracing and the snapshot system are resolved (#22473, #22333, #22629)

• Tracing now stories appropriate fuel quantities for EIP-2718 transactions (#22480)

Go library adjustments

• TransactOpts of accounts/abi/bind now assist the NoSend possibility, which prevents sending the transaction. This can be utilized with Go contract bindings to ‘dry-run’ the binding (#22446)

• The Ledger USB pockets backend now helps EIP-712 ‘typed knowledge signing’ (#22378)

• Background transaction indexing now not fails for EIP-2718 transactions (#22457)

• The InfluxDB metrics reporter now not stories spurious zero values when a histogram has not been up to date for the reason that final report (#22590)

• LES metrics have been renamed to keep away from points within the Prometheus reporter (#22459)

• The ethstats shopper now not crashes when Geth exits instantly after beginning (#22587)

• A uncommon crash in RPC shopper subscription dealing with has been fastened (#22597)

Networking

• A number of bugs within the implementation of snap sync are fastened on this launch, however it’s nonetheless thought of experimental and never but enabled by default (#22596, #22513, #22553, #22591)

• The DNS discovery deployer software has been up to date to resolve some long-standing bugs.

The software now makes use of the newest AWS and CloudFlare SDK variations. (#22572, #22538, #22537, #22588, #22360)

• The department issue of DNS discovery timber has been decreased to make sure that all TXT information match into the 512-byte restrict of DNS/UDP packets (#22533)

• devp2p nodeset filter -les-server was fastened to cope with the brand new format of the “les” ENR entry (#22565)

• The cross-client check suite of the ‘eth’ protocol has been improved a bit, and now skips eth/66 exams when the node below check doesn’t assist protocol model 66 (#22460, #22508, #22482, #22474)
