Full Changelog: v2.1.5...v2.1.6

v2.1.5

This release introduces Thor v2.1.5, featuring significant enhancements, new tools, and performance optimizations for developers and node operators. With the debut of thorclient, a Go-based client for interacting with the VeChainThor blockchain, as well as improvements to subscription performance, debugging tools, and API configurations, this update empowers a smoother and more efficient development experience.

• Thor Client Released: Introduced thorclient, a Go client library enabling developers to interact with VeChainThor accounts, transactions, blocks, events, and other blockchain features via HTTP and WebSocket connections. (#818, #908)
• Subscription Endpoint Caching: Added a simple cache to the beat, beat2, and block subscription endpoints, enhancing CPU performance during high on-chain traffic and heavy subscription loads. (#866)
• Deprecated Endpoints Disabled by Default: Deprecated endpoints are now disabled by default, improving security and resource allocation. Use the --api-enable-deprecated flag to re-enable these endpoints if necessary. Deprecated endpoints include POST /accounts, POST /accounts/{address} and WebSocket /subscriptions/beat (#897)
• Raw Query Support for Blocks Endpoint: Added support for the raw query parameter in the /blocks endpoint, returning RLP-encoded block headers for block signature verification. (#899)
• Node Health Endpoint: Introduced a node health API endpoint, enabling quick evaluation of node health through metrics such as blockchain progress and peer connectivity. (#836)
