Pre-release

21.1.0-RC2

Additions and Improvements

  • Distributions and maven artifacts have been moved off of bintray #1886
  • Support "eth" field in ENR records #1893
  • Support for the Berlin Network Upgrade, although the block number must be set manually with --override-genesis-config=berlinBlock=<blocknumber>. This is because the block numbers haven't been determined yet. The next release will include the number in the genesis file so it will support Berlin with no intervention. #1898

21.1.0-RC1

21.1.0 Breaking Changes

  • --skip-pow-validation-enabled is now an error with block import --format JSON. This is because the JSON format doesn't include the nonce so the proof of work must be calculated.
  • eth_call will not return a JSON-RPC result if the call fails, but will return an error instead. If it was for a revert the revert reason will be included.
  • eth_call will not fail for account balance issues by default. An parameter "strict": true can be added to the call parameters (with to and from) to enforce balance checks.

Additions and Improvements

  • Removed unused flags in default genesis configs #1812
  • --skip-pow-validation-enabled is now an error with block import --format JSON. This is because the JSON format doesn't include the nonce so the proof of work must be calculated. #1815
  • Added a new CLI option --Xlauncher to start a mainnet launcher. It will help to configure Besu easily.
  • Return the revert reason from eth_call JSON-RPC api calls when the contract causes a revert. #1829
  • Added chainId, publicKey, and raw to JSON-RPC api calls returning detailed transaction results. #1835

Bug Fixes

  • Ethereum classic heights will no longer be reported in mainnet metrics. Issue #1751 Fix #1820
  • Don't enforce balance checks in eth_call unless explicitly requested. Issue #502 Fix #1834

20.10.3

20.10.3

Additions and Improvements

20.10.2

20.10.2

Additions and Improvements

  • Added support for batched requests in WebSockets. #1583
  • Added protocols section to admin_peers to provide info about peer health. #1582
  • Added CLI option --goquorum-compatibility-enabled to enable GoQuorum compatibility mode. #1598. Note that this mode is incompatible with Mainnet.

Bug Fixes

  • Ibft2 will discard any received messages targeting a chain height <= current head - this resolves some corner cases in system correctness directly following block import. #1575
  • EvmTool now throws UnsupportedForkException when there is an unknown fork and is YOLOv2 compatible #1584
  • eth_newFilter now supports blockHash parameter as per the spec #1548. (blockhash is also still supported.)
  • Fixed an issue that caused loss of peers and desynchronization when eth65 was enabled #1601

Changelog

20.10.1

Additions and Improvements

  • --random-peer-priority-enabled flag added. Allows for incoming connections to be prioritized randomly. This will prevent (typically small, stable) networks from forming impenetrable peer cliques. #1440
  • miner_changeTargetGasLimit RPC added. If a target gas limit is set, allows the node operator to change it at runtime.
  • Hide deprecated --host-whitelist option. #1444
  • Prioritize high gas prices during mining. Previously we ordered only by the order in which the transactions were received. This will increase expected profit when mining. #1449
  • Added support for the updated smart contract-based node permissioning EEA interface. #1435 and #1496
  • Added EvmTool binary to the distribution. EvmTool is a CLI that can execute EVM bytecode and execute ethereum state tests. #1465
  • Updated the libraries for secp256k1 and AltBN series precompiles. These updates provide significant performance improvements to those areas. #1499
  • Provide MegaGas/second measurements in the log when doing a full block import, such as the catch up phase of a fast sync. #1512
  • Added new endpoints to get miner data, eth_getMinerDataByBlockHash and eth_getMinerDataByBlockNumber. #1538
  • Added direct support for OpenTelemetry metrics #1492
  • Added support for qip714block config parameter in genesis file, paving the way towards permissioning interoperability between Besu and GoQuorum. #1545
  • Added new CLI option --compatibility-eth64-forkid-enabled. #1542

Bug Fixes

  • Fix a bug on eth_estimateGas which returned Internal error instead of Execution reverted in case of reverted transaction. #1478
  • Fixed a bug where Local Account Permissioning was being incorrectly enforced on block import/validation. #1510
  • Fixed invalid enode URL when discovery is disabled #1521
  • Removed duplicate files from zip and tar.gz distributions. #1566
  • Add a more rational value to eth_gasPrice, based on a configurable percentile of prior block's transactions (default: median of last 100 blocks). #1563

Deprecated

--privacy-precompiled-address (Scheduled for removal in Next Release)

Deprecated in 1.5.1

  • CLI option --privacy-precompiled-address option removed. This address is now derived, based on --privacy-onchain-groups-enabled. #1222

Besu Sample Network repository

The Besu Sample Networks repository has been replaced by the Quorum Developer Quickstart.

20.10.0

Release format

Hyperledger Besu is moving its versioning scheme to CalVer starting with the 20.10.0 (formerly 1.6.0) release. More information about the specific version of CalVer Besu is using can be found on the wiki.

20.10 Breaking Changes

When upgrading to 20.10, ensure you've taken into account the following breaking changes.

JSON-RPC HTTP Error Codes For Valid Calls (#1426)

Prior versions of Besu would set the HTTP Status 400 Bad Request for JSON-RPC requests that completed in an error, regardless of the kind of error. These responses could include a complete JSON-RPC response with an error field.

In Besu version 20.10, properly formatted requests that have valid parameters (count and content) will return a HTTP Status 200 OK, with an error field if an error occurred. For example, requesting an account that does not exist in the chain, or a block by hash that Besu does not have, will now return HTTP 200 OK responses. Unparsable requests, improperly formatted requests, or requests with invalid parameters will continue to return HTTP 400 Bad Request.

Users of Web3J should note that many calls will now return a result with the error field containing the message whereas before a call would throw an exception with the error message as the exception message.

20.10.0 Additions and Improvements

  • Added support for ECIP-1099 / Classic Thanos Fork: Calibrate Epoch Duration. #1421 #1441 #1462
  • Added the Open Telemetry Java agent to report traces to a remote backend. Added an example to showcase the trace reporting capabilities.
  • Added EvmTool binary to the distribution. EvmTool is a CLI that can execute EVM bytecode and execute ethereum state tests. Documentation for it is available here. #1465
  • Added support for the upcoming YOLOv2 ephemeral testnet and removed the flag for the deprecated YOLOv1 ephemeral testnet. #1386
  • Added debug_standardTraceBlockToFile JSON-RPC API. This API accepts a block hash and will replay the block. It returns a list of files containing the result of the trace (one file per transaction). #1392
  • Added debug_standardTraceBadBlockToFile JSON-RPC API. This API is similar to debug_standardTraceBlockToFile, but can be used to obtain info about a block which has been rejected as invalid. #1403
  • Added support for EIP-2929 to YOLOv2. #1387
  • Added --start-block and --end-block to the blocks import subcommand #1399
  • Added support for multi-tenancy when using the early access feature of onchain privacy group management
  • [Reverted] Fixed memory leak in eth/65 subprotocol behavior. It is now enabled by default. #1420, #1348, #1321

Bug Fixes

  • Log block import rejection reasons at "INFO" level. Bug #1412
  • Fixed NPE when executing eth_estimateGas with privacy enabled. Bug #1404
