Nethermind v1.8.50 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-06-13 // almost 4 years ago

  • 🔧 [CONFIG] Added a simpler memory configuration via --Init.MemoryHint 2000000000 (2GB of memory for network pool and DB). This number is only for the DB and network and does not include EVM processing, tx pool and some unbounded indices of RocksDB. But it can significantly simplify configuration. If you set this number a few GB below your VM / machine memory then it should stop in a safe range.
    🔀 Also during the sync process we use many additional caches that will put more memory pressure - expecially if you download receipts and bodies you can expect ~4GB additional memory used for heavy chains (and much less for chain like Goerli).
    ⚡️ [CONFIG] Updated pivot blocks.
    [EVM] Added some EVM call optimizations to prepare for EIP2046
    👍 [JSONRPC] Support a switch that allows removing chunked HTTP responses for JSON RPC.
    ⚡️ [LIBS] Updated some dependencies to the latest versions where relevant (mostly test packages).
    🚀 [BASELINE] This release has some additional RPC methods within the Baseline PoC code (getLeaf, getLeaves)
    📈 [ANALYTICS] Expanded the range of data passed to the data analytics modules.
