v0.60.0

Overview

The Hedera JSON RPC Relay v0.60.0 release introduces critical updates aimed at improving transaction handling and robustness.

Notable enhancements include the removal of transactions with status INVALID_ACCOUNT_ID from block-specific routes, ensuring cleaner and more accurate transaction data. Additionally, sendRawTransaction has been updated to include retries and polls for transaction validity in cases of timeouts or connection errors, enhancing reliability in processing. These improvements strengthen the platform's ability to handle edge cases and provide a smoother developer experience.

This release also incorporates numerous bug fixes, dependency upgrades, and internal changes. Key fixes address issues such as incorrect WebSocket metrics and cache key errors in eth_getBlockByHash, ensuring greater stability. Dependency upgrades, including updates to @hashgraph/sdk and web3, bring improved performance and compatibility. Internally, updates such as dividing Hbar Limiter tests into batches, adding ESLint rules, and stabilizing rate limiter tests reflect the team’s commitment to maintaining a cleaner and more manageable codebase. These changes collectively contribute to a more robust and developer-friendly platform.
