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The Besu Sample Networks repository has been replaced by the Quorum Developer Quickstart.
