Changelog

1.9.0 - Unreleased

  • Added: #5868 test_importRawBlock RPC method reports the detailed reason when import fails.
  • Changed: #5893 testeth: RlpTests treat empty out field as invalid.

1.8.0 - 2019-12-16

  • Added: #5699 EIP 2046: Reduced gas cost for static calls made to precompiles.
  • Added: #5741 Support for individual EIP activation to facilitate EIP-centric network upgrade process.

  • Changed: #5750 Use testeth -t <SUITE_NAME> -- --testfile <PATH> to run the tests from file at any path. Use testeth -t <SUITE_NAME> -- --testfile <PATH> --singletest <TEST_NAME> to run only single test from any file.
  • Changed: #5801 testeth -t BlockchainTests command now doesn't run the tests for the forks before Istanbul. To run those tests use a separate LegacyTests suite with command testeth -t LegacyTests/Constantinople/BlockchainTests.

  • Changed: #5806 Optimize selfdestruct opcode in aleth-interpreter by reducing state accesses in certain out-of-gas scenarios.

  • Changed: #5848 aleth-vm --codefile <PATH> now reads bytecode file from path and aleth-vm --codefile - <bytecode> now reads bytecode from standard input.
  • Changed: #5864 Allow a user to send multiple transactions before a new block is mined.
  • Removed: #5760 Official support for Visual Studio 2015 has been dropped. Compilation with this compiler is expected to stop working after migration to C++14.

  • Fixed: #5852 Output correct original opcodes instead of synthetic PUSHC/JUMPC/JUMPCI in VM trace.
